OUR BEGINNINGS
Tomko Design was born in Phoenix, Arizona in August of 2005. Starting out under the name The Nocturnal Project, the founder originally designed mostly during the night hours from his home studio. This was the first solo project after leaving the agency world. He has since put the night hours behind him to focus on communication with clients and vendors during the creative process. With his respected reputation, Mike Tomko decided Tomko Design should be the company name. So, with a revised name, a creative studio was built-out and creative employees were brought in.

Tomko Design specializes in the creation of identities, hence the tag-line “Identifying with you.” Not only do we create strong identities, we walk clients through the process and help them identify their audience. More importantly, we help them show their true colors through their brand. Tomko Design is fully capable of solving creative problems for print and web by way of marketing collateral, advertising, annual reports and websites. The belief system behind the success of Tomko Design can be summed up in two words: signature branding.

Our goal is to deliver strong work, keep clients happy and successful, and to always look forward to each new day in the studio.

Process

We are acutely aware that each client has specific needs and deserves individual attention, as well as their own look. We have maintained the work of several major companies for many years and they know they can rely on us for innovative design with personalized attention.

We specialize in creating identities that flow into designing all other collateral the customer may desire, including websites, brochures, signage and advertising. The courage to be innovative and the ability to handle all client concerns makes Tomko Design stand out in the design world. Pure love for design still exists.

In order to provide successful solutions, we have created a 5-step process for projects:

1) Define the audience of client's business and make a list of design needs
2) Create initial designs at the studio (will happen within 2 weeks after initial deposit)
3) Get feedback from client about initial designs, followed by necessary revisions
4) Finalize designs to client's upmost satisfaction
5) Prep files for printing, or web launch
