We’ve been busy supporting several clients with exiting ventures this year that we almost missed a year-end recap! Here are some of the award-winning works in corporate identity, website design, and marketing strategy for longstanding and new clients alike from 2025. These marketing and design awards recognize the best the industry has to offer, and we are happy and humbled to be recognized as a go-to partner for creative services!
In this post, you will learn a bit of information on each winning project and the categories in which they are recognized.

2025 AVA Digital Awards
Faris Distributing Website Redesign wins Honorable Mention
Faris Distributing was a big winner this year, as you will see below. It was awesome working with them since the first engagement started back in 2022 with a branding effort that has since extended into anniversary identity design support, building out their website, creating vehicle wrap graphics, updating signage, and creating additional promotional marketing material. This was a brand new website for the highly regarded distributor, and we are proud of the way everything turned out – from the new brand touches, the unique patterns, bold colors, customer-focused workflow, and tailored contact forms.
Special thanks to the talented photographer, Nikki Kruse, who secured a wealth of very candid action shots used in the website and materials!
