Trent Design was featured in the business section of today’s edition of
The Detroit News. The article goes onto discuss our success with non-profit clients and the move into our new studio space.

“This is collaborative economics… The profit motive is secondary to a desire to pay everyone a living wage and create great designs for our clients. We stay lean so we can take more risks,” said our leader Marilyn who was asked to describe our company objectives.

Trent Design has just completed glass signage for the walls inside of the city’s firehouses. Working with Jeff Umsted from Blasted Creations, Trent designed mountable plaques as markers for the building. The plaques record the city council staff members, battalion chief and general coordinators responsible for the station architecture.

Printed in layers, the image rests on one level while the type is printed on-top another. When placed together, the sign takes on a subtle 3-Dimensional quality and serves as a reminder to visitors and occupants.
