American Marketing Association recognizes firm for logo design and promotional item

HOUSTON, TX (May 18, 2007) – Bullpen Marketing, a marketing firm specializing in promotional products strategy and a wide range of marketing services, received two Crystal Awards this week at an event hosted by the Houston Chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA). Bullpen accepted awards for outstanding Logo Design and Individual Promotional Item.

“The Crystal Awards allows us to illustrate our year’s best work,” said Colin Hageney, president of Bullpen Marketing. “We’ve had a successful year thanks to our partners and clients, who make these projects triumphant.”

From promotional products to Internet marketing campaigns, the 21st annual Crystal Awards consists of 50 different categories. Bullpen’s pen-turned-USB-drive, initially designed for the AMA’s Mplanet™ conference, won the Individual Promotional Item category. The bright orange pen doubled as a USB flash drive, which was preloaded with all conference materials, and packaged in a silver and black alloy case.

Bullpen also competed in the Logo Design category with its makeover of St. Pius X High School’s logo. The St. Pius project was a complete overhaul of the school’s dated logo featuring the panther mascot. The new design has a custom font, and the text can be customized for each extracurricular activity.

“The school had stadium cushions created with the new logo design,” said Hageney. “The manufacturer of the cushions liked the mascot so much they included it as an example in their new catalog.”

The winners were recognized at a reception hosted by the AMA, Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 6 p.m. in the Crystal Ballroom of Post Rice Lofts.
