A. Martini & Co. maintains a long tenured partnership with 4CDesignWorks having done a variety of work such as brand refinement, proposal work, safety logo design, website design, development, and support. As the new year was approaching work began discussing strategy and graphic development for an anniversary brand.
Building off of elements used for the safety logo as well as the Art Deco feel of the timeless logo font, a new “70 Years” anniversary mark was created. The mark was intended to be flexible system that the text can be presented in a variety of ways on the web and when produced on shirts or other giveaways materials.
Once the logo was approved, work began on options for the interactive online timeline. The primary requirement was for it to be visually engaging and prompt a user to explore the information within the microsite. This timeline is ‘activated’ upon a user scrolling, where each entry has a key year and some brief facts presented as the website background mirrors the showcased image. In many cases there are historic photos of building sites, advertisements, employee photos, and even high school pictures!

A revised home page was done for the primary A. Martini GC website that showcases significant projects through a feature slider with the idea of representing the past and present buildings. The original home page ‘grid’ effect was kept in the form of 6 tiles under the feature slider, each linking to marquee pages within the website (the project hub, safety, leadership team, the history page, pre-engineered building services, and news).
Extending the celebration to informative social posts based off the time entries is an ongoing initiative. Look for these images and fun facts to fill your 2021 social timeline!
