Why Should You Choose Union Illustration for your Art Needs?

Art gives your Business a Unique and Contemporary Style.“

  Photos have distractions. In a photo, if the model is not perfect or the background is distracting, your message may not come through. All the leading companies use art as part of their brand. Anytime you compare second place and first place in the tech sector… The First place company uses art instead of photos at the forefront of its brand. Eg. Dropbox vs Box. Google vs Bing.

  Stock illustration does not help you differentiate your brand. There are 3 predominant trends in corporate artwork right now - Flat vector, Isometric, and collage and let’s be honest, they all look the same. A great communicator will buck the trends and put time into their companies unique brand. Be a leader not a follower.

  A strong proposal from the illustrator you're working with will help you to feel that they have heard you and are going to solve your unique problem. Don’t work with illustrators who don’t understand the problem or are more concerned with their portfolio than the client.

Trusted by Google, Scholastic, and Virgin

Need a gift for your team events? Google did.

We were invited to do some portraits of their staff.

The person who put this together did a lot of planning. Asking for each member to talk about their accomplishments and what they were most proud of, both inside and outside of Google. Each person had a unique set of answers, and we were tasked to give a visual example of who they were.

We considered a couple of styles for the project but ended up with a comic book look that would fit nicely inside a frame that they could show off at home.

This lead to us to doing a few of the staff’s spouses as well.

"Give you exactly 
what you need."

Union Illustration Co. not only cranked out artwork that was FAR more amazing than what I had originally pictured in my head but beyond that, they made the process easy and friendly. We have all dealt with difficult creative guys in this business, so having someone like Michael Grills who can separate his ego from the process and give you exactly what you need - that’s priceless.

his services."
