A logo is often the first impression. It should feel intentional, memorable and built to last.

Since 1998, DoubleTake Design has created logos for companies, restaurants, business teams, renewable energy projects, products and more — from one-off event marks to full brand systems with comprehensive guidelines.

This reel captures a small slice of decades of design.

If you’re ready for a logo that works as hard as you do, let’s talk!

Congratulations to our client, ENGIE North America Inc. for developing new clean energy projects on former Appalachian coal mines!

“ENGIE is thrilled to collaborate on the development of these projects with The Nature Conservancy,” says Kristen Fornes, ENGIE head of distributed solar and storage. “Converting former coal mine sites into solar energy facilities presents a unique opportunity to transform environmental challenges into significant economic and social benefits. These initiatives not only contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but also generate employment opportunities, rejuvenate local communities, and enhance access to clean energy in areas where it is most needed."

It's a win-win-win-win.

The project agreements indicate growing interest in clean energy development on formerly mined lands – a strategic siting option that can benefit nature and people.
