A Year or Two in Review

Starting off a New Year, we always like to take a look back and see just how far we've come. 2010 was an exceptional year... but for that matter, so was 2009 and 2008. So we thought it would be nice to re-cap the last few years and see just how truly far we've come.

  
2008 was a big year for ILF. We purchased the old Spokane Art School building across the street from the Spokane Arena and began renovations.

 The renovations took a full year. But now we get to call this... our home away from home.

In 2009, much like our building renovations, we re-branded ourselves from the ground up. A new logo, meant new everything else- from letter heads, business cards, to vehicle decals we did it all.

We went from this...

To this!

We also redesigned our website which was in need of much TLC. Being in 'the business' we thought it would be pretty easy. Were we wrong. It's easy to design and build a website for our clients. We take their needs, sprinkle in some creativity and wha-la! But In-house projects are a different story.  Having so many creative people involved in one project, we had too many great ideas floating around. We were constantly changing direction. Finally we created a website we were all happy with. Clean & Modern- just what we were looking for.

But now... looking back on the website, we're left scratching our heads, asking ourselves, "What were we thinking?"  Like a bad perm, our once wonderful website started looking dated and turned out to be.... not so user friendly.

We decided to re-design our website... but that's for another post.

We've also added a few new smiling faces to our team.

For now, we are left reminiscing over the last couple years, thankful for our new building, our new and old clients, and the new faces that make up ILF's family.

Happy New Year!
