“The branding has been extremely successful and, although it was created some years back, we have not felt the need to update it significantly, as the look is so classic.”

WHO COULD BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO CREATE A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP THAN IDENTICAL TWINS?

Practiced in the art of cooperation, thanks to nine months of training as "womb-mates", twin brothers Jack and Jeff Gernsheimer are well-suited to be your partner. They have formed an outstanding team, headed by partner Chris Werner. Founded in 1971, when a desktop was a desk top, and a hard drive was a trip from Juneau to Fairbanks, Partners Design (then known as Partners Graphics Design Studio) set up shop in an old house on a farm in eastern Pennsylvania. Unlike most design studios, which were located in big cities, their work often found its way into cargo holds and then into the waiting hands of the designated recipient. They've come a long way, and still enjoy collaborating, to create outstanding end-products such as websites, signage systems, or digital greeting cards.

“I had confidence that every single project would be executed in the finest manner and achieve its objectives. The work that Partners produced...was simply top-notch—day in and day out.”

JACK GERNSHEIMER received a BFA from Syracuse University in 1968, and began his design career at J. Walter Thompson in New York. He founded Partners Design with his twin brother Jeff in 1971, and in 1978, worked in Oslo with internationally acclaimed designer Bruno Oldani. Jack's work has appeared in Communication Arts, Graphis, Print, Novum (Munich) and other prestigious international publications. He has written about, lectured, and taught design at Pennsylvania School of Art and Design and Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. Jack has completed a book on logo design for Allworth Press, called Designing Logos; The Process of Creating Symbols that Endure, which was released in October 2008. ORDER IT HERE.
