About the Typeface
Helvetica was developed by Max Miedinger with Edüard Hoffmann in 1957 for the Haas Type Foundry in Münchenstein, Switzerland. In the late 1950s, the European design world saw a revival of older sans-serif typefaces such as the German face Akzidenz Grotesk. Haas' director Hoffmann commissioned Miedinger, a former employee and freelance designer, to draw an updated sans-serif typeface to add to their line. The result was called Neue Haas Grotesk, but its name was later changed to Helvetica, derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland, when Haas' German parent companies Stempel and Linotype began marketing the font internationally in 1961.
Introduced during a wave of popularity of Swiss design, and fueled by advertising agencies selling this new design style to their clients, Helvetica quickly appeared in corporate logos, signage for transportation systems, fine art prints, and countless other uses worldwide. Inclusion of the font in home computer systems such as the Apple Macintosh in 1984 only further cemented its pervasiveness.

Web design that wins them over
Currently 64% of people spend 40% of their time online and your website is often their first point of contact in getting to know your business. The web design for your site determines what impression they get and how much you stand out in an ever-expanding Internet.
How easy it is for your customers to navigate your site? How convenient is it for you to update your menus or images? Don’t let a poor or outdated web design hold you back.
Logos that people love
A logo is a visual concept and the face of your company. Though it may be tempting to choose a logo that closely suits your own personal taste, it is important to remember that ultimately it is your customers who must find your logo memorable and appealing.
Graphic Designers invest time and energy into understanding and creating logos that work – logos that are distinctive, in line with your desired image, and resonate with your target audience.
Graphic design that grabs attention
Is graphic design an art or a profession? Is a graphic designer just a person who knows how to use graphics software, or someone with strong opinions about fonts, composition and color? When is graphic design useful?
Great graphic design is art with a purpose. It’s the logo in your email signature, the fliers you hand out at a conference or a catchy visual in a Power Point presentation. It quietly enhances and promotes your company’s reputation and message on a daily basis.
