We built a web site for the Voluntary Universal Healthcare Identifier project (VUHID; pronounced “view-hid”) a year and a half ago. Since then, Global Patient Identifiers, Inc (GPII) was formed as a parent company for VUHID.

Working with Bad Feather, we created a new identity and logo for GPII, updated the VUHID logo for visual consistency, and reworked the web site to be the combined home for both GPII and VUHID. See the new GPII identity, and the latest on the VUHID project, at gpii.info.

Through VUHID, GPII hopes to improve healthcare through a slew of benefits to all the related stakeholders, while taking privacy concerns very seriously.

Keep up the good work, GPII!

Skill-Life, Inc promotes youth financial literacy and math skills through interactive media, such as their Cents City video game. Along with Bad Feather, we recently created a new visual identity for Skill-Life, and developed a new web site for them at skill-life.com.

The web site is built on the WordPress publishing platform, and serves three main purposes: presenting basic information about the company; providing a blogging platform for Skill-Life to publish news; and providing an online home for demos of their interactive products, like Cents City.

The site is already proving its worth, serving as a demo platform for Skill-Life founder Felix Lloyd’s presentation to potential partners and investors last week.

Obviously given the current economic circumstances, the need for the services Skill-Life provides couldn’t be greater. We look forward to supporting Skill-Life and continuing to work with Felix in the years ahead.

Boston-based RxCreative, the brainchild of my friend J Emerson Kohler, works at the crossroads between medicine and entertainment. Got a drab medical presentation that you need to spice up? Need some “fact-checking” for your hospital-based TV series? Talk to RxCreative!

We recently helped RxCreative establish a brand identity, complete with business cards and other print material, and develop an online presence at rxcreative.com. Bad Feather handled the branding, and we built the site. Medical Narratives. Narrative Medicine. RxCreative.

We’ve known Dr. Emily Cooper at Seattle Performance Medicine for years. And most of that time we’ve been nagging her to rebuild her web site… Well, we finally pulled it off!

This one was a collaboration with Heather at Bad Feather. Heather worked with Emily to develop SPM’s new branding and logo, and design the graphics for the site. We then built the new spmedicine.com. The site is clean and elegant, establishes SPM’s new visual identity, and finally gives an accurate representation of SPM’s work! And with this modernization, the site has moved forward in leaps and bounds in terms of search engine optimization, accessibility, and ease-of-maintenance.

We don’t like to brag, so we’ll let Emily speak for us. We were pretty flattered when she said “This is the best thing I have done for my business!”. Check out the new online presence for Seattle Performance Medicine at spmedicine.com.

Dtek is excited to be working with a new partner! Brooklyn-based husband-and-wife team Heather Marold Thomason and Brad Thomason, AKA Bad Feather, provide graphic design and web development services focusing on brand identity, print work, and Adobe Flash.

Bad Feather’s services are the perfect compliment to our own, which are focused on non-Flash web development and coding, usability and user experience consultation, and web-specific graphic design. They’ll also help us keep pace on the web development front as The Media Spot continues its exciting work.

Bad Feather’s web site is on the way. If you’re curious in the meantime, check out Heather’s previous company, HM Projects.
