NEW DESIGN LOOK FOR WRIGHT-RYAN

(PORTLAND) - Wright-Ryan Construction, Inc. has unveiled a new design look for its corporate logo and associated marketing materials, the most significant such change in the firm's 20-year history. Working with designer Lisa Hallee, of Portland-based Cordeiro Design, and with flyte new media, a Web design firm also based in Portland, Wright-Ryan has completely redesigned its visual materials, from the company's logo to new letterhead, desktop templates, newsletter, signage, Web site and more.

"The time had come for a new look," said Wright-Ryan's co-founder, Tom Wright. "Working with Lisa and with flyte, we were able to incorporate the 'WR' from our existing logo into a new, fresh interpretation that we can used across a number of applications. Increasingly, we're finding strength in the Wright-Ryan brand, and we thought it was important for our visual materials to reflect that strength and continuity."

Cordeiro Design has been responsible for a number of corporate identification projects in recent years, including work for Coastal Women's Healthcare, Digital Intern, Hancock Gourmet Lobster, Know Technology, Maine Spine and Rehabilitation, New England Mortgage Group and Northeast Bank. "I'm pleased with what we're producing at Wright-Ryan," said Cordeiro founder Lisa Hallee. "They're a very impressive organization and I think what we've created for them reflects those accomplishments."

Wright-Ryan is known for building Portland-area projects such as the Children's Museum of Maine, the Preble Street Resource Center, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Portland, the Freeport High School Performing Arts Center, the Topsham Public Library, Saco City Hall, multiple projects at the University of Southern Maine, and the First Parish Church of Brunswick. The firm is also highly regarded for its work in luxury residences and custom millwork.

Founded in 1984, Wright-Ryan is one of Maine's leading construction firms, with expertise in commercial, institutional and residential construction as well as high-end millwork and furniture. The firm employs more than seventy highly skilled professionals and tradesmen. Wright-Ryan has successfully completed some of the most architecturally distinctive and challenging buildings in Maine.
