Back to the roots: A deep love and respect for the commercial arts led us to this field. Poring over old issues of Communication Arts Magazine in school was how our passion was ignited.

Latest from YYES: We recently delivered , , identity system, and projects for Defy:Disaster, the disaster relief program of the not-for-profit Entertainment Industry Foundation. The program had outgrown its legacy name and brand and needed to convey its broader mission of disaster preparation, relief, and recovery.

The name Defy:Disaster and a sharp green logo express the unity, strength, and urgency of the program's efforts. The site gives Defy:Disaster a dynamic platform to communicate its current and past efforts. https://defydisaster.org/
