KickCharge Creative
David Hutton
Dan and his team nailed it. They designed a very engaging brand for us and helped us support it with matching stationary, brochures, door hangers, and uniforms. We are so excited to relaunch our brand and it is so awesome to know that we can have continued support that will have design continuity. If you are looking to brand a business, these guys are your best option.
Brian Quinn
5-star experience with this company! I highly recommend working with KickCharge as they are second to none when it comes to rebranding and logo design. I am by far not an easy person to work with, and everyone I worked with was beyond professional, courteous and eager to deal with my anxieties. Rebranding was not an easy decision to make but after working KickCharge team I cannot believe it didn't do it sooner. I have continued to work with them after the initial rebrand on new wrap designs for new truck models and estimator cars. I cannot ask for a better result.

I can't say enough about Kick charge creative and their team. When I started my business in late 2019 I knew it was critical to choose a company with an awesome and great reputation for building brands. After researching kick charge I was completely confident they were the ones to go with. Working with their team and staff was awesome easy and actually very enjoyable. The whole process was fun watching the brand come to life.I knew from the beginning the importance of having the right brand with the right image and feeling was going to give me a huge competitive Edge against my competitors. Kick charge knocked it out of the ballpark! We launched our business February of 2020 and it was a huge success. Our brand got noticed by so many different people and our phones started ringing off the hook. We were able to scale back all of our paid advertising which was a great benefit.We're so happy and thankful for everything kick charge has created for our brand. Even during a pandemic our startup business grew to two trucks and pulled in $700,000 in sales with in 2 years. I highly recommend kick charge!
Michael King
Amazing experience, I knew that I wanted something different, something unique, something that stood out amongst all the competition, but didn't know how to accomplish it. A Facebook group recommended Dan and his group at KickCharge, so I went to his website and was just blown away at all of the creativity of the Brands that he created. I was sold before I even talked to Dan. Once we spoke it just confirmed that there was no one else out there that could create a what we were looking for. His whole team is amazing and a special shout out to Gina ! She is so awesome and was there for me every step along the way !! I cannot say enough on how he has set our company up going forward. I have HIGHLY recommended them to everyone ! Thank you KickCharge I would give 10 stars if I could !
Troy Ketchen
Can not say enough about the amazing job that Dan and his team did in designing our brand and creating our logo and truck wraps. Can not be compared to anything we've seen before. Their abilities are so unique and somehow, they pull it off every single time! Have not seen one design in all of their portfolio that isn't amazing. We are so excited to get our service vans wrapped and see where this new brand takes us. Please don't second guess yourself if you are on the fence about taking the leap with Kickcharge Creative! Thank you all so much for all you have done for our business!

Probably the single best decision we have ever made to grow our company. It changed our customers and employees interaction and experience much better.You guys are the best in the industry as far as I'm concerned. It's an honor that you took the time to deal with me directly. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity.
George Childers
If you think getting a professional brand is expensive, think the opposite. It will cost you more by not having Dan and his team at KickCharge Creative design it for you. I resisted for several years and "Oh So Sorry" that I waited. Worth every penny and them some. No one can compete unless they stand out and are remembered. Dan provides that like no other company can. Highly recommend doesn't say enough. They are head and shoulders above any competition. Thanks Dan, to you and your team.
gerald finney
Dan and his team are the best at what they do. Our logo and brand is going to take Las Vegas by storm. His thumbprint will forever be on the home service industry!
Arturo Gutierrez
Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. Kickcharge has been a pleasure to work with and I'm extremely happy with the work they've done for our company. Absolutely recommend them to any company looking to rebrand/grow and they will definitely help take you to next step.
Bo McKenzie
Full Speed Plumbing has done a few project with Kickcharge Creative, and I have to say they have knocked it out of the park. We are recognized, expanding, and are poised for a great future thank you to Dan and Michelle, and the team at Kickcharge!
Andrew Gay
KickCharge is hands down the best branding company in the US. I've learned so much about branding from them and what high quality work looks like that I judge every vehicle wrap I see now. They've done an amazing job for my company on our logo, branding, and vehicle wrap. I recommend them to everyone that's not a direct competitor to us in our market.
Josh Sowell
Designers will tell you their most difficult client is themselves. After stalling on my attempt to design my own logo, I hired KickCharge Creative. Working with Dan and his team of all stars was smooth and straightforward. They were thorough, welcomed my input, and captured a look that fits the market I sell to. If you're a designer or sign company looking for a fresh set of experienced eyes, I recommend hiring KickCharge
Filip Duz
Very thorough design process, with a great end result. Highly recommended!

Orlando Owens
Great professional company did my company re-branding from logo uniforms van wrap business cards and more love doing work with this company highly recommend them if you want to Great branding
Kathy Copeland
Quality in the details speak for itself. A true artist listens to your ideas and takes the time to research and understand your business environment, company culture, and importantly who we are and how we started this company. The creative team at Kickcharge were responsive, professional, and informative throughout the entire process. Not gonna lie, after 6 yrs of being in business, we were a bit nervous about a complete makeover of our brand, but we decided to embrace the "Disruptive Branding" concept and just go for it. We were extremely pleased with our new brand and emotionally ecstatic when our first van rolled out of the wrap shop, what a difference. Impressive, thank you Dan and the Kickcharge Creative Team for taking a name and bringing it to life!! Roadrunner Plumbing.
MasterTech Marketing
Took us a while to get on the same wave-length regarding the design, but KickCharge hung in there, kept talking things over with us, provided us a variety of options on things when we asked, and ultimately delivered a considerable upgrade to our previous visual brand identity. We have NO DOUBT we will stand out in our market and that their concept of being "branded, not blanded" will be a difference maker for us in the next few years! As we looked at alternative solutions, we kept comparing them to the work done by KickCharge. We knew if we didn't invest in the best, we'd be disappointed each time the trucks rolled in at the end of the day, and would kick ourselves for not going for it. Glad we did! Thanks, KC!
Frankie Lomeli
Dan and his Kickcharge Creative team are the best. Got to say long process but way worth the investment. From design and color scheme man they know what they are doing what a head turner or vans became in our area. Keep up the great work most definitely would recommend Kickcharge to anyone that wants a game changing experience and look for their company.
Vadim Vechkanov
Going with kickcharge might not be the cheapest Investement for your business but one thing for sure - you will get best products that you will not be able to compare with anyone else. Whole project for our branding from start to finish went really smoothly. This company has really great communication as well. That's for your outstanding job!
Arizona Comfort Specialists
Fantastic staff. They kept us in formed from start to finish. We were amazed by their creative designs. We've received such positive feedback from our customers. I will be referring others to KickCharge Creative.
Fady S
Absolutely phenomenal service. Dan and his team did an amazing job with the design and branding. I literally cannot imagine anyone else who can even come close to their level of skill and professionalism. At the risk of sounding like a shill, they are truly the best at what they do. Let Dan and the KickCharge team help boost your revenue with a new, creative, memorable, and professional-looking brand. Just ask to see his before-and-after designs and you'll be convinced.
The HVAC Scientist
Dan and his team has been a pleasure to work with. I was nervous at first to spend most of my start up budget on my logo and van wrap. I've got to say it was a solid investment! I can't go anywhere without someone commenting on the wrap! It's awesome they totally captured what I had envisioned. Since we launched we've also had them do business cards, uniforms, equipment stickers, yard signs, and thank you cards. Everything has turned out amazing! Sincerely the Scientech
1st Choice Mechanical
KickCharge is by far the best company to have rebrand your business. The attention to detail, responsiveness, and passion for what they do is paramount to their competition! Don't waste anymore time or money looking for anyone else to do your branding, call KickCharge!
Medley Heating and Air Conditioning
I could not be more pleased with the team and results the Kickcharge team provided. Dan is THE authority on branding service companies. Dan and his team KICKCHARGED our brand to an entirely new level. I am so proud of our unique look. I am certain we will garner attention for all the right reasons thanks to them.Dan, Thank you so much for taking the time and care into delivering a masterpiece of branding. I recognize we were likely not the easiest client's to work with, but you did a fantastic job of walking us through the process and reassuring us we made the right decision in working with you. I hope you know how truly appreciative we are.
Frankie Mason
I highly recommend kick charge Dan and his team are the best in the business! The rebrand they did for us turned out absolutely amazing! If you are on the fence about hiring kick charge DO IT you will not regret it!
Umut Bitlisli
Dan and his team at Kickcharge are my secret weapon. Since 2005 we've been working with them to give our small business a Big Brand. When you work with them you'll understand the value of an investment. Dan's unusual level of talent, matched with a like minded team of creative professionals puts him in the top caliber of creative firms. Best thing I've ever done for my company.
Chris Romine
We worked with KickCharge to rebrand our company after 10 years in business. It was a scary thing to jump into at first, but once we started working on some ideas, I quickly saw that this was going to be a great change for us. The new name (Air Stars) and brand design turned out amazing. We also had them redesign our website, and that has turned out awesome as well! They did a great job of communicating with us throughout the process, and I couldn't be happier with the results!
Brian Peters
I used KickCharge Creative 6 years ago, and they were amazing people to deal with. 6 Years later and I still love our company Logo, Brand Identity and Van Wraps. They were worth every penny I invested (I think it was over $20k for all kinds of work they did for us). If you are reading this review wondering if you should hire them, do it! You won't be disappointed. Put the time in with them and let them help you build your business.
Daniel Smith
Dan and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They took the time to design and bring to life a new brand. They have the reputation as one of the best in the business for a reason. We are a plumbing company that has been around over 70 years and a new look was exactly what we needed.Our customers and employees love the new look and have had nothing but positive feedback.Thanks again to Dan and his team!
Todd Liles
I hired 3 different consultants and gave them an opportunity to create our new brand. In the end, Dan and his team develop a Brand that included the Logo and Tagline that best represented Service Excellence. I'm very happy with the final product, and would recommend Dan and KickCharge to anyone looking to stand out from the crowd!
Phillip Waters
I'm the type of person that is hard to impress or surprise. That being said, Dan and his team displayed a level of professionalism, creativity, and support which I felt needed to be recognized with a 5 Star review. Any questions, ideas, or concerns I had were handled very quickly and I couldn't be happier with our new branding!
Robert & Nicole Brancaccio
I've had the pleasure of working with the team at Kick Charge for many years.This team is the most hard working, ambitious group of people I've worked with. Kick Charge has designed everything for us from websites, stationery, contracts, logos, business cards, and vehicle wraps. It is always an easy and seamless process. They did not disappoint in taking my companies to the next level! It's always nice to know that I have the team at Kick Charge a call or email away and ready to take on any of my marketing projects.
Patrick Aaron
Great experience. Dan and Gina did a great job with our design and communication from beginning to end. We are thrilled with their work and can't wait to get our first wrapped van on the road later this week!
Dave Hitt
Working with KickCharge has been outstanding. By far, one of the best investments we're ever made for our company. Dan and his whole team make the entire process 5 stars and they blew away our expectations. If you're considering Kickcharge for your branding needs, in my experience they are by far the best company you can use.
Ben Hern
Dan and the team at Kickcharge have been awesome to deal with. I have found the entire process of re designing my logo and truck wrap to be very easy as the team understood what I was looking for and I believe they have done a real quality job and re design of my current logo and I can't wait to get it on the trucks and out in the market place! Thanks guys!
Tom Duff
Dan and crew were tasked with developing a brand for my environmental cleaning company that had to exude cleanliness, professionalism & trustworthiness. It also had to represent the urgency and importance of our emergency cleanup services. And it had to be a brand that could represent a much larger company - if we chose to expand. Well, 6 or 7 years later, the Mastertech brand that Dan created helped us rapidly develop into a multi-location, National franchise. Our brand has been a huge part of our growth and is now well recognized throughout our industries. Thanks again Dan and crew! Great people, incredible work.
Carter's My Plumber
KickCharge is awesome to work with!! Dan is so thorough about investigating the creative. He and his team developed an awesome logo and new look for our trucks. We are turning heads and it is definitely a huge improvement to our look. Gina is awesome to work with - very on top of getting files to us and communicating every step of the way. Highly recommend the KickCharge team!
Elizabeth Neris
When we first started our company we had no idea how branding was so important! We just thought of a name that sounded cool and started to work on what we knew best which was Air Conditioning. We noticed that our name and brand was extremely confusing to most/all of our customers! People would see our van and not know our name! This got us to thinking that a change needed to be made fast! We had no idea what to call it or where to start to look for a company to help us reach our goals with a new brand. We looked at all of our mentors brands and they all used KickCharge Creative. We did our research but most of the other branding companies lacked the drive, experience and commitment we were looking for with our new brand. We went ahead and hired them to start the re branding process. They don't only design your brand they create it! They helped us with everything! From choosing our name, slogan, logo, van wrap, stationary, folders, thank you cards, door hangers everything!!! Our new brand is looking awesome and we are slowly getting ready to launch it. We are very excited about our new brand and what people will say about it. We know we will turn a lot of heads here in South Florida! Thank you Dan and team for guiding us through this process by educating us the importance of a great brand and holding our hands through this experience! Can't wait for our launch!!
Complete Comfort
First Class!! Dan and his team are true professionals and experts at what they do. Thank you so much guys for the work you did for us.
Jon Hatch
Dan and the Kickcharge team were a pleasure to work with. This is a process that is surprisingly emotional and individual to each company. They worked with us until WE were proud of the brand created. The communication was good.
Susan Bolton
I cannot say enough good things about KickCharge Creative and especially Alyssa. We decided not only to redo our website, but to do a complete rebranding and merging our HVAC business & fireplace business together in the process. The whole process from the logo redesign to the new truck wraps to our road sign has been very smooth. The writers do an excellent job with our monthly SEO and customer newsletter. I get extremely busy with day to day operations and often do not respond to proofs sent to me in a timely manner. But there is always Alyssa there sending me gentle reminders. Steven, Gina and others are also awesome to work with. It is Alyssa who keeps me on track which I appreciate VERY much. I HIGHLY recommend KickCharge Creative.
Cassie Pound
We approached Kickcharge with a big task. We had 6 brand new vans that were blank and we had decided that it was time to go ahead and implement a new brand instead of wrapping them with the old. Kickcharge pulled the vision we had out and NAILED IT. Our wrap company and local printers were blown away by the quality that they provided. Kickcharge Creative is the place to go to win!! Our customers love our look, our employees love the look and their new uniforms. Look great, feel great, perform great.
Nertil Lushka
I found KickCharge Creative through Dan's extensive experience in the industry and being the leading voice for small business marketing and advertising. It has been a little over six months working with the KickCharge Creative team and they have exceeded my exceptions. I had the team refine my website and increase brand and website awareness via organic SEO. Alyssa and team have been nothing but fantastic to work with and they implemented a cohesive and targeted marketing plan that has generated leads beyond my initial exceptions. I love these guys and will continue to expand my marketing strategy because they are the best investment in the industry--period. If you want to be relevant in the digital world, you need KickCharge on your side!!!
Red Seal
We are a Canadian plumbing company and when we began the process of re branding we knew we needed the best in the business. After being referred to Dan and his team at KickCharge, we knew they were the best choice for us and we were thrilled that they take on Canadian clients! They made the process seamless for us from start to finish, as we developed a brand new logo and design for our plumbing vans. After our initial consultation with Dan, he listened to exactly what we were envisioning for our brand and logo and he delivered it perfectly. We already received compliments on the vans after only one day on the road.We are so proud to have the most eye catching plumbing vans in the city thanks to Dan and his team at KickCharge!
James S .
Dan is the man!A company is only as good as their branding and marketing. If you are not leaving your customers with a brand worth remembering, it doesn't matter how good of a plumber you are because that customer will forget you a few months after you fix their problem. In these days of Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor and others trying to sell you customer info, you want your company to be the one that customers search out instead. Dan and his company have a long track record of helping plumbing and HVAC shops across the US fix their image issues. On his website, he lists dozens of before and after pictures alongside client testimonials of how his work has increased revenue and profit for them. Dan does not work by himself, he has a highly skilled team that each contribute to performing top notch customer service. KickCharge Creative offers a tremendous value to their clients by offering multiple packages depending on what their clients are searching for. Some customers may just need a logo redesigned, while other companies that have been in business for many years may decide it's time to update the logo, website, vehicle wrap designs and stationary. All in all, the team at KickCharge Creative are more than capable of improving your company's image. Highly satisfied!
Ross Trittipo
UPDATE: I'm upgrading my original review of 4 stars to 5 stars. A year later, this wrap design continues to get endless compliments, comments, questions, and most important... BUSINESS.If you're thinking about hiring KickCharge for a truck or van wrap, you're going to get the best design in the world, hands down. There's just no question about that. Nobody else does what these guys do. If you want the best, look no further. Communication could be better. I had a couple questions during the design process that were glossed over, which led to irritations and some wasted time when I went to hire a local installer (I'm in Indiana, KickCharge is in New Jersey). In the end, everything turned out fine and I now have the best looking carpet cleaning van in my state. I'd compare working with KickCharge to dating a super model. She knows she's the best looking, which means she also knows she can get away with some shenanigans, and she knows you'll tolerate it because you both know it's impossible for you to do any better. So yes, there are some issues. But big picture, you're still dating a smoking hot super model. If that makes sense. In reality, this rating should be a 4.5 instead of a 4. I just can't go a full 5 because of the communication issues. Would use again. Would highly recommend. You won't be sorry.
Kegnide Bankole
Dan and his crew at KickCharge were amazing to work with. They made the stress of rebranding manageable. The way the team came together to analyze my business's competition and worked hard to give me a brand identity was wonderful. I couldn't imagine being happier with the final project and appreciate all the support. I can't say enough good things about this company and would encourage anyone to reach out to them if they want to make their business stand out.
Trey Annison
This team absolutely killed it for us! In a matter of 3 weeks since our rebrand; I have lost count as to how many times we have been asked if we are a franchise while currently being only a 12-person company. No need to keep shopping. This is who you were looking for.
victor rancour
Dan and his team are awesome. They brought my brand to life quickly! They respond quickly to any questions, they have great ideas creatively as a team. I wouldn't waist a penny with another company if you're trying to get a brand that will last forever
Angel Blevins
We decided to rebrand about 9 months ago and after researching and interviewing several companies, we chose KickCharge due to their experience and reputation, especially with the home services industry. We knew that rebranding was not only a big investment, but also vital for our success...we wanted the best! THEY DELIVERED EXACTLY THAT! Dan and the whole KickCharge team went above and beyond our expectations. From their initial briefing with us to delivery of the final proofs, the communication and creative process was impressive! They gave us an eye catching brand that stands out among our competitors!!
Richard Murray
We heard about KickCharge Creative at the Service World Expo in Las Vegas and were impressed with Dan's presentation. We immediately reached out to work with him to rebrand our HVAC company. KickCharge involved us in every step and really listened to what we had in mind. They took our direction and created a brand that blew us away. We are so excited to see our company grow under the new branding Dan and his team created for us. We could not recommend them enough!
Chuck Barron
We decided to change our brand after 27 years in business and Dan and his team did not let us down. It is a 5 star redesign on our logo, van wraps and we have Kick Charge to thank. Thank you and thanks for the killer Brochure this week. It is awesome. Gonna kill it in 2020.
Weston Caple
We have been partnering with Dan and his team for several years now! We get the opportunity to produce some of the vehicle wraps, signs, and apparel designed by the KickCharge team. Their talent is industry leading and second to none. It is a privilege to bring their designs to life!
Cherie Hudson
We love working with Kickcharge. Everyone is so helpful and accomodating. If everything keeps going well we will be a client for life. When we first approached them for a truck wrap, they refused because our logo was not good enough. We laughed, and tried to find someone else to design the wraps. Nothing seemed good enough, so after about 6 months we came back and agreed to have them also redesign the logo and the wrap. We are so happy we made the choice to do so! Dan really knows design, we have now used them for 3 more projects and look forward to having him redesign our website soon!
Comfort Cavalry
I want to start off by saying that I have been following Dan and his teams work for over a decade. I remember the first time I saw Timo's brand and thought, "Wow! Now THAT is an awesome brand!" So when we decided to hire KickCharge Creative back in February it was honestly a dream come true. The entire process from start to finish was flawless and the outcome was more than we ever could have wished for. Kickcharge turned our boring brand into a brand that is unforgettable. Our experience with them is one that will forever be monumental in our lives and one that will never be forgotten. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work and your dedication to us. We LOVE you guys. ⚔ ??❤?
Stephanie Stiffler
Alyssa helped our struggling website be found online better than ever! Very professional , thorough and answered all our questions promptly. Highly recommend!
Nick Buric
We were waiting years to come across a company that we feel really understands the power of branding on the foundation of a company. As a company in the trades industry, we believe there's an overall lack of this in our space, so using Kickcharge is extremely low hanging fruit that will give you a new sense of pride in the brand of your business, and for anyone reading this who just wants to know about the bottom line, yes, your bottom line is also at the heart of their work. Your brand, over the course of its lifetime, is 100% worth investing in properly. We're really excited to continue working with these guys, and couldn't recommend more.
Chris Valenzano
I was in desperate need of a company rebrand. Luckily, I found Dan and KickCharge. The whole process was so smooth and professional. They designed a logo and truck wrap for me and have exceeded my expectations. I have received numerous compliments and I could not be happier. I highly recommend KickCharge and I will certainly be using them for future services.
Oasis Plumbing
Bare with me a moment, this review might be longer then just "this company does good work". If you searched for a company to brand your business, then you already know no one else comes close to Kickcharge creative. I found them online by mistake, and it took me 4 months to decide to use them. But ultimately I didn't want to pay twice for branding. Why hire cheap today and then still have do it right in 5 years?!So we invested in our brand and did it right from the beginning. Their process is very thorough to make sure they understand who your target audience is and what your offering that makes you different from the competition. Dan personally worked with me tirelessly for days to build a brand I loved and that would be effective in my market. Customers and friends tell us they have seen our van on the road. We get texts with photos of us driving down the highway. We're impossible to miss thanks to Dan and Kickcharge creative. At the end of the day, if your looking for a company to brand you, search for yourself and see if anyone is able to really match the standard that Kickcharge has set themselves at. Thank you for our awesome brand and you can always count on me to sing your praises. Yuda
Walter Watson
KICKCHARGE takes a consultative approach to developing the right graphics solutions for their clients. Dan and his team listen to want I have to say and comes up with just what I'm looking for. And their customer service is second to done. I give them a Five Star Rating in My Book!
William Lewis
TOPS IN TRUCKS 2019!!! That says how good they are at what they do. But the true story is how great they are at understanding who you are. Before KickCharge our trucks were barely noticeable, not even to our customers. Dan and his team understood how best to represent the brand of Southern Air Pros. Thanks for giving us the image our company needed (Tops in Trucks was pretty cool, too) Amazing to work with before, during and after the process. Michelle did a wonderful job at coordinating and communicating. Yes, they are the best!
Brandon Phillips
This company is by far the best of the best. I reached out for a new look, something bold and not so flat. Seatown Electric Heating and Air is a five star company that had a 3 star look. After working with Dan and his team of unbelievably talented, creative geniuses we now have a fun, bold, vibrant brand that matches our 5 star reputation. From the moment we gave the green light kickcharge was on it! Communication is excellent, the creative literature and logo all speak the same language and we couldn't be happier. Was it worth it???? I was reluctant to invest wrapping 30 plus vans, and the cost for the brand but wow! Everyday we get phone calls saying we see your vans everywhere, constant comments from potential customers and existing customers that say they love the new look. We even had a few people call literally just to compliment on our trucks (no work needed). I have heard multiple techs say customers compliment our literature and how catchy it is. Since the rebrand I look back and will say it's worth every penny. My recommendation to any business owner is go all in with it don't stop with just a logo let them do it all, you won't be disappointed.To the team at kickcharge hats off to you!! And thank you!!
Clean Extreme
Dan and his team at Kickcharge exceeded my expectations. They have developed a brand to fit my local reputation. Thank you to your whole team. We will be using kickcharge for our future marketing needs, and would highly recommend anyone on the fence to make the investment. You won't be disappointed.

Darrell Whiteaker
We are a small business who was seeking out a larger image. I believe Dan and his team delivered just that. They provided an in depth look into our company and helped paint that on a canvas. We're truly happy with their services and look to use in other areas of our business.

We called KickCharge in 2016 to get a wrap design. They informed me that our logo could use some help. At the time I was in love with our old logo and wasn't ready to let it go. After talking to Dan I decided to give there new logo a try. Dan created a unique and creative logo that spoke to me and we went forward with the rebranding. It was scary at first but the calls started pouring in. We had wrapped all of trucks and with the new logo and our market liked what they seen. We had done 2 million in sales in 2016, now 2018 we finished our year over 4 million. We had doubled our business in just 2 years. Our branding by KickCharge played a big role in that. I could not be happier with what Dan and team have created for us.

Can't say enough positive about our experience with KickCharge. Wonderful to work with from the get go. One of the things that i appreciated most was that Dan listened carefully to all of our input and used it when appropriate... but he was not afraid to disagree and tell us why his way was better. I respect that. I've worked with too many creatives over my career who were just glorified yes-men. I wholeheartedly recommend KickCharge.

Dan and his talented team re-branded our business. A new paint division was created and our logos and copy were all revised. I'm so proud of our new look and know that we have grown by at least 30% by creating a new, fresher more on-point message. Great service and creativity that is priceless. Thank you KickCharge!

If you're thinking about hiring KickCharge for a truck or van wrap, you're going to get the best design in the world, hands down. There's just no question about that. Nobody else does what these guys do. If you want the best, look no further. Communication could be better. I had a couple questions during the design process that were glossed over, which led to irritations and some wasted time when I went to hire a local installer (I'm in Indiana, KickCharge is in New Jersey). In the end, everything turned out fine and I now have the best looking carpet cleaning van in my state. I'd compare working with KickCharge to dating a super model. She knows she's the best looking, which means she also knows she can get away with some shenanigans, and she knows you'll tolerate it because you both know it's impossible for you to do any better. So yes, there are some issues. But big picture, you're still dating a smoking hot super model. If that makes sense. In reality, this rating should be a 4.5 instead of a 4. I just can't go a full 5 because of the communication issues. Would use again. Would highly recommend. You won't be sorry.

When you want the absolute best, then look no further than KickCharge Creative! We've been working with KickCharge since the mid 90's when Dan Antonelli was running a solo-person firm. We've enthusiastically watched them grow through the years and one thing that has always been evident is the passion and vision that Dan has breathed into his company. Stop in to their office and you'll see an example of a company culture like none other - it's contagious! We've realized tremendous growth because of the web design, branding, and social media management that KickCharge does for us to this day, and we feel they are worth every marketing dollar we give them for the value they add to our organization. Many thanks to Dan Antonelli and his amazing team (too many great people to name individually!) for helping us be a success - Steve Graul, President, Castle Point Landscape Design

Dan and his team at Kickcharge are my secret weapon. Since 2005 we've been working with them to give our small business a Big Brand. When you work with them you'll understand the value of an investment. Dan's unusual level of talent, matched with a like minded team of creative professionals puts him in the top caliber of creative firms. Best thing I've ever did for my company.
Air Source
My experience with Kickcharge has been outstanding! This company is passionate about creating an unforgettable brand and delivering results. I own an air conditioning business in a very competitive market in Florida. There are over 500 air conditioning companies inside a 75 mile radius. We had to find a way to have a brand that stood out if wanted to achieve our goals. While I was trying to find the right agency to work with I came across their website and was blown away by the powerful brands they had built. One quote by Dan himself sealed the deal "Success in spite of a poor brand is not a valid reason to perpetuate it." When I read that statement it was instantaneous and I knew they were the right company for me. I decided to go "all in" and let their creative team take the wheel. Our new brand is going to change the marketplace in the area we compete in. From the truck wraps, to the website and all other social media platforms, we will have the most memorable brand in the land! We look forward to many successful years with KickCharge Creative as our go to Marketing Agency!
Josh Sowell
I hired KickCharge Creative for a re-brand & logo design project. As someone who works in a design field, it's difficult to be able to step back and examine your own brand from a clear perspective. Dan and his entire team of experts were extremely easy to work with and crafted an awesome logo that we're very proud of. Amazing team all around and looking forward to working with them on future projects. I'd recommend KickCharge for any business serious about their brand and delivering the right message to the right audience.
Vehicle Wraps
We had Dan and his team create a logo and website for us. Was a great experience and would highly recommend.
Kevin Breiwick
We were looking to update / rebrand our HVAC company from its original branding from 1991. I've seen KickCharge's work with other companies and they looked like a good fit. The whole process was smooth and extremly organized. Dan and his team communicated clearly the entire time. The concepts they came up with were exactly the direction we wanted to go. They made it difficult to choose, but we extremely happy with the final result. The execution of the project was flawless. I get so many compliments from clients and other businesses on our logo and wrapped trucks. Big thanks to Dan and his team for a huge and positive transformation to our business.
Matthew Kinneman
Amazing work! Phenomenal customer support, super easy to work with. We worked with dozens of companies over the past 10 years and KickCharge stood out as one of the best we've worked with to date.
Ryan Harris
One of the best, if not the best Service Business Graphic Designers in the world right now. It's also nice to talk and deal with the owner Dan about the design process and any issues that come up. Highly recommend.
Kurt Bon
Absolutely Amazing Work, Just launched our 3rd website with this firm. We have been working with them for over 15 years. Dan and his team are no joke and they consistently produce amazing results.
Audie Herpel
This firm is AWESOME! Dan and his team exceeded our expectations for our re-branding project. We hired KickCharge after a raving review from our friends at Integra Electric. They created : Name, Logo, Tagline, Stationary and Vehicle wrap design. They had a unique ability to streamline a complex process making it intuitive, interactive and fun. The quality of all the finished products are the best we've seen. Thank you Dan, Michelle and Team for what you do.
Micah Guynes
As a Graphic Designer and Entrepreneur, I've built a business around logo design, branding and quality products. But, when we decided to re-design our own logo, we hit a wall. We were too close to it and unable to really see it from our client's perspective. Having been a long time fan and follower of KickCharge Creative's work under Dan Antonelli's direction, I reached out to see if they were up for the task. After a creative brief, they went straight to work and it didn't take long for them to show me that they are true professionals and experts in their craft. We didn't end up with just a new logo, but a new image that pushed our business in the direction we wanted to go, and they understood that. Partnering with KickCharge Creative was one of the smartest business decisions I've ever made!
Accel Graphics
You know, as a creative, I was sure we would be able to knock our own logo out of the park. But... The more we worked on it the more I became my worst nightmare. I was too picky on everything and I mean everything. Well, It was time to get a trusted opinion from somebody I had studied for years. As you can see, he had something great up his sleeve as always and had something perfect in mind for our company. The first time I saw the logo, it was love at first sight! You cannot find a better company than Kickcharge. Thank you Dan and your faithful team for the perfect logo and for all of your help the past couple of years!

Zucchini Muffins
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...If you are into muffins, I have a treat for you. These muffins come from The Shipyard Galley, a restaurant, on Buzzard's Bay in Massachusetts. I have no adventure or quaint characters to share with you today. As a matter of fact, I've never set foot on Buzzard's Bay, much less eaten at The Shipyard Galley, but thanks to the folks at King Arthur Flour I do have the recipe for their wonderful zucchini muffins. This was a case of love at first bite and I must tell you I'm hooked. Whenever I make these, I have to fight the urge to use large muffin pans and only the calorie count prevents me from doing so. A standard muffin checks in at 335 calories, doubling that means more time on a treadmill than I'm willing to spend. More's the pity! If you try these, I suspect you'll share my addiction. Here's the recipe.
Zucchini Muffins...from the kitchen of One perfect Bite, inspired by The Shipyard Galley an King Arthur Flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/2 cup raisins or currants
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line one 12-cup muffin tin with papers, or grease each cup.
2) Beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla till smooth and somewhat lightened in color, about 1 minute at high speed.
3) Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, beating to combine.
4) Add flour, beating just till smooth.
5) Add the zucchini, nuts, and raisins or currants.
6) Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
7) Bake muffins for 25 to 27 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven, and after a minute or so gently tilt them in pans, so their bottoms don't become soggy. As soon as muffins can be handled, transfer them to a rack to cool. Yield: 12 muffins.

despite the calories- they are a treat any time of the day!- and what an interesting recipe- with all those nuts and currants! I always wondered though, why we have both baking powder and soda- would just one of them not do? I normally skip the soda and double the baking powder- am I missing anything if I do so?

Yikes, who'd have thought that something with zucchini in it would have so many calories. But remember, nuts are a good fat! If moistness can come through the screen, this is what would do it.

This looks very easy and delicious, it's very similar to my carrots muffins, just substitute zucchinis with carrots and use less sugar, since the carrots are already sweet enough and I also like to add dates, which are also very sweet. Hmmm.. I think I'm going to make both of them this week! :)

Spacecraft monitoring Martian dust storm
- Date:
- November 21, 2012
- Source:
- NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Summary:
- A Martian dust storm that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking since last week has also produced atmospheric changes detectable by rovers on Mars.
- Share:
A Martian dust storm that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been tracking since last week has also produced atmospheric changes detectable by rovers on Mars.
Using the orbiter's Mars Color Imager, Bruce Cantor of Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, began observing the storm on Nov. 10, and subsequently reported it to the team operating NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. The storm came no closer than about 837 miles (1,347 kilometers) from Opportunity, resulting in only a slight drop in atmospheric clarity over that rover, which does not have a weather station.
Halfway around the planet from Opportunity, the NASA Mars rover Curiosity's weather station has detected atmospheric changes related to the storm. Sensors on the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), which was provided for Curiosity by Spain, have measured decreased air pressure and a slight rise in overnight low temperature.
"This is now a regional dust storm. It has covered a fairly extensive region with its dust haze, and it is in a part of the planet where some regional storms in the past have grown into global dust hazes," said Rich Zurek, chief Mars scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "For the first time since the Viking missions of the 1970s, we are studying a regional dust storm both from orbit and with a weather station on the surface."
Curiosity's equatorial location and the sensors on REMS, together with the daily global coverage provided by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, provide new advantages compared with what Viking offered with its combination of orbiters and landers. The latest weekly Mars weather report from the orbiter's Mars Color Imager is at http://www.msss.com/msss_images/2012/11/21/ .
Each Martian year lasts about two Earth years. Regional dust storms expanded and affected vast areas of Mars in 2001 and 2007, but not between those years nor since 2007.
"One thing we want to learn is why do some Martian dust storms get to this size and stop growing, while others this size keep growing and go global," Zurek said.
From decades of observing Mars, scientists know there is a seasonal pattern to the largest Martian dust-storm events. The dust-storm season began just a few weeks ago, with the start of southern-hemisphere spring.
Starting on Nov. 16, the Mars Climate Sounder instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter detected a warming of the atmosphere at about 16 miles (25 kilometers) above the storm. Since then, the atmosphere in the region has warmed by about 45 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). This is due to the dust absorbing sunlight at that height, so it indicates the dust is being lofted well above the surface and the winds are starting to create a dust haze over a broad region.
Warmer temperatures are seen not only in the dustier atmosphere in the south, but also in a hot spot near northern polar latitudes due to changes in the atmospheric circulation. Similar changes affect the pressure measured by Curiosity even though the dust haze is still far away.
Besides the research value in better understanding storm behavior, monitoring the storm is also important for Mars rover operations. If the storm were to go global, the Opportunity rover would be affected most. More dust in the air or falling onto its solar panels would reduce the solar-powered rover's energy supply for daily operations. Curiosity is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, rather than solar cells. The main effects of increased dust in the air at its site would be haze in images and increased air temperature.
JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project and both of the Mars rover projects for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

A May Daring Bakers Challenge
This month's challenge was brought to us by Lis of La Mia Cucina, Fran of Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie, Shea of Whistful and Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice. Our baking this month is dedicated to Barbara of Winos and Foodies, who is no longer an active member of the Daring Bakers, but will always be an honorary Daring Bakers for her bravery and character in the face of a challenge. To our wonderful hostesses, thank you for an incredible frolic in the kitchen. Barbara, thank you for showing us all how to live life with courage and great joy. The lovely Barbara, is the force behind the food blog event called, A Taste of Yellow, it supports the LiveSTRONG Foundation started by Lance Armstrong.
The Opera Cake is an elegant and beautiful French dessert that was believed to have been created around the early 1900s. Many people credit Louis Clichy with inventing the cake that is sometimes referred to as the Clichy Cake. This recipe is based on the Opera Cake recipes in Dorie Greenspan's Paris Sweets and Tish Boyle & Timothy Moriarty's Chocolate Passion.
I had a great deal of fun making this recipe, making New Orlean style pecan pralines, roasting pecans for pecan meal, making syrup and joconde. My children weren't thrilled in the beginning with this recipe, but they quickly came around when they tasted the cake. A light and moist sponge cake, it is delicious alone and with the buttercream. The ones I made for my husband and myself had the extra layer of the white chocolate mousse made with honey, Rooibos tea, and Jack Daniels. Alas, there isn't much of this cake left over. The Opera Cake is a thoroughly delightful recipe and one I'll make again.
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup pecan meal *
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
3 large eggs
1 tsp chia seed meal
2 Tb brown rice flour
2 Tb sweet rice flour
1 1/2 Tb vegetable shortening, melted
1. Divide your oven into thirds by positioning a rack in the upper third of the oven and the lower third of the oven. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a jelly roll pan (15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1) with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, or a mixing bowl (if you are using a hand mixer), beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Add the granulated sugar and beat until the peaks are stiff and glossy.
3. Change to the paddle attachment, and beat in the almond and pecan meal, icing sugar and eggs on medium speed until light, about 3 minutes.
4. Slowly add the flour and beat on low speed just until it is combined. Be careful not to over mix.
5. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the meringue into the nut mixture and then fold in the melted shortening. Spread the batter, evenly to cover the entire surface of the pan.
6. Place the pan in the middle of the oven. Bake until the cake layers are lightly browned and just springy to the touch, about 5 to 9 minutes. Note: I baked mine for 9 minutes.)
7. Place the pan on a heatproof surface, then loosen the cake from the pan. Cover the cake with a piece of parchment paper and lay a cookie sheet upside down on top of the paper and the jellyroll pan. Turn the pan with the cake in it over and remove the jellyroll pan. Carefully peel away the parchment paper from the cake and then cover the cake with it. Note: You may need to hold the cake down with your finger tips as you ease away the parchment paper. Allow the cake to cool until it is room temperature.
* Pecan Meal - I made pecan meal by roasting pecan halves on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes at 325 degrees. Then I dumped them into the bowl of the food processor along with 2 Tbs of arrowroot starch and processing until the nuts became a fine meal.
Syrup for Joconde
1/4 cup water
3 Tb cane sugar
1/2 to 1 Tb mesquite honey
1. Stir all the syrup ingredients together in the sauce pan and bring to a boil.
2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until it is room temperature.
Butter Cream Layer
1 cup cane sugar
1/4 cup water
2 Tb crushed pecan pralines *
1 egg, beaten
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup vegetable shortening **
1/4 cup coconut oil/butter
2 Tb cocoa butter, melted
1. Combine the sugar, water and praline in a small saucepan and warm over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves.
2. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 225 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy or instant read thermometer. Then remove from the heat.
3. While the syrup is heating, begin whisking the egg and egg yolk at high speed in the bowl of your mixer using the whisk attachment. Whisk the eggs until they are pale and foamy.
4. When the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature, reduce the mixer speed to low and very slowly pour the syrup down the side of the bowl. Be careful not to splatter the syrup into the path of the whisk attachment. Some of the syrup will spin onto the sides of the bowl, but don't worry about it as it will harden.
5. Raise the mixer speed to medium high and continue beating until the eggs are thick, satiny and cool to the touch (about 5 minutes).
6. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and add the vegetable shortening and cocoa butter. Once the shortening, coconut oil and cocoa butter are incorporated, raise the mixer speed to high and beat until the buttercream is thick and shiny.
7. Refrigerate the buttercream, stirring it often, until it's set and firm enough to spread when topped with a layer of cake (about 20 minutes). Note: You may need to chill your buttercream for a longer period of time before it firms up enough to spread.
* Praline - I made New Orlean's style pecan pralines for this recipe and then chopped them. The recipe comes from Sherry Yard's The Secret of Baking. This recipe will be my next blog post and will be posted on Friday, June 1st.
** You can substitute butter or all vegetable shortening in this recipe.
White Chocolate Ganache/Mousse Layer
3.5 oz white chocolate, chopped finely
1/4 cup very strong Rooibos tea *
1/2 Tb mesquite honey
1 Tb Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey
5 Tb vegetable shortening
2 1/2 Tb cocoa butter
1. Dump the white chocolate, Rooibos tea and cocoa butter in a small sauce pan. Then gently stirring together until the chocolate and cocoa butter melts and to keep it smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, pour in the melted chocolate mixture. Begin beating on medium speed, until the mixture is creamy. Then dump in the honey, whiskey and shortening and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.
3. Refrigerate until you are ready to use. Note: You may need to set the mousse out to warm up in order to spread it.
* Rooibos Tea - It is a tea made from the leaves of the Rooibos bush from South Africa. I used 3 tea bags to 1/3 cup of water make the very strong tea. If you cannot find Rooibos tea, you could substitute Honeybush tea for it. Or you could use 1/4 cup of almond milk or heavy cream instead.
Glaze for Top of Cake
7 oz white chocolate
1 Tb very strong Rooibos tea *
2 Tb vegetable shortening
2 Tb cocoa butter
1. Melt the white chocolate, Rooibos tea and cocoa butter, stirring until melted.
2. Let cool for 10 minutes and then pour over the chilled cake. Smooth with a spatula to get a smooth and even layer.
3. Place the cake in the refrigerator until set.
* Rooibos Tea - * Rooibos Tea - It is a tea made from the leaves of the Rooibos bush from South Africa. I used 3 tea bags to 1/3 cup of water make the very strong tea. If you cannot find Rooibos tea, you could substitute Honeybush tea for it. Or you could use 1 Tb almond milk or heavy cream instead.
Assembly of the Opera Cake
1. Cut strips of parchment paper that are the width of the roll of the parchment paper and 4 inches wide. Have some tape ready to hold the parchment paper together around the cake.
2. Cut out circles of the cake using a round pastry ring or cookie cutter. Using a pastry brush, paint one side of each cake round with the honey syrup.
3. Then set the parchment paper around the cake in a tube and tape to hold the tube shape.
4. Spoon some buttercream on top of the cake round and smooth until the mixture is even. Then ease into the tube another cake layer. Spoon the mousse mixture on top of this cake layer and spread evenly. Set another cake layer into the tube and cover with a layer of buttercream.
5. Place the cake into the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before glazing. When the buttercream is firm, pour the glaze on top. Then set the cake back into the refrigerator to chill.
6. Top with powdered sugar, colored powdered sugar and a white chocolate treble clef.

What Will the Branch of the Future Look Like?
Recently, Bank Systems & Technology profiled Virginia-based StellarOne Bank its efforts toward creating the branch of the future by pursuing efficiency, convenience and sleekness. Here, we'll take a look inside at some of the work the bank has done. (All photos courtesy of Larry Patton, director of facilities, StellarOne Bank)
1. Customer Comes First
The new branches feature a wall that has a tube system similar to what customers see in the drive-through part of bank branches currently. Customers can conduct basic transactions through the tubes, which are fed to a back office and retrieved and processed by employees situated there.
Bryan Yurcan is associate editor for Bank Systems and Technology. He has worked in various editorial capacities for newspapers and magazines for the past 8 years. After beginning his career as a municipal and courts reporter for daily newspapers in upstate New York, Bryan has ... View Full Bio

Learning Haskell
This portal points to places where you can go if you want to learn Haskell.
The Introduction to Haskell on the Haskell website tells you what Haskell gives you: substantially increased programmer productivity, shorter, clearer, and more maintainable code, fewer errors, higher reliability, a smaller semantic gap between the programmer and the language, shorter lead times. There is an old but still relevant paper about Why Functional Programming Matters (PDF) by John Hughes. More recently, Sebastian Sylvan wrote an article about Why Haskell Matters.
Join the Haskell subreddit, where we do regular Q&A threads called Hask Anything (that's the archive).
There is also a table comparing Haskell to other functional languages. Many questions about functional programming are answered by the comp.lang.functional FAQ.
You can ask questions to members of the Haskell community on mailing lists, IRC, or StackOverflow. We recommend installing the Haskell Platform.
