We are happy to announce that Diego is featured in the July 2009 issue Canadian Immigrant Magazine, in the article “Determined Designer“.

This feature recognizes Diego’s achievement in transitioning from self-employed designer to entrepreneur, building a successful creative house from the ground up, and looks at his plans to build Casco Design into a full service agency.

It was through talent, hard work, adaptability and his outgoing personality, combined with determination that Diego was able to overcome the challenges that came with starting over in a new country. These same attributes continue to move us forward to the next goal.

Our team shares Diego’s vision, passion, and creativity, led by Diego’s own drive to consistently give clients his best in pursuit of achieving his goals and dreams. Young professional Diego Casco from Costa Rica, is establishing himself as a creative design force.

Diego personally extends his gratitude to his family, design team, clients, partners, and good friends who have been welcoming and supportive throughout these past 10 years!

We are very pleased to announce that we have been selected as a Graphic Design and Creative Services Vendor of Record for the Ontario Government. We welcome all queries from the Government of Ontario’s valuable personnel, its agencies and ministries. The Casco Design team looks forward to the creative partnership with you, to providing quality design in a timely fashion, and to forging great working relationships.

We are eager and full of ideas, and ready to work with you to make your project succeed! Please contact Diego at diego@cascodesign.ca with your inquiries today!

Attending DesignThinkers 2008

We are excited to attend this year’s DesignThinkers conference, held in downtown Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, taking place on Tuesday, October 28th and Wednesday, October 29th, 2008. This is definitely our favourite and most inspirational event of the year with lectures, interactive seminars, book signings and more. This conference is a chance for us to connect with creative professional leaders, fellow designers and students. It is also a way for us to stay informed with innovative practices in the design industry and keep offering the best in quality and creativity to our clients.

The DesignThinkers conference kicks off the week with the Design at Work 2008 reception at the Metro Hall Rotunda and the Bomb It, movie screening at Bloor Cinema. We will be attending both tonight and we’d like you to come meet us!

Diego Casco R.G.D. at Work

We are delighted to announce that RGD Ontario has featured our director Diego Casco on its website this month. Diego received his RGD designation earlier this year. Click to see Diego’s R.G.D. at Work Profile.

We’re excited to settle into our new studio! It has been a long weekend in more ways than one, but we have finally finished moving! We are still undergoing a flurry of activity as we get ourselves fully operational at our new offices. If you need to get in touch with us, please call 416-275-9671. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

Our new address is:
675 King Street West, Suite 204
Toronto, ON M5V 1M9

Our phone number will stay the same 416-921-0082 but we do have a new fax number: 416-921-7760.

Why the re-branding? It was simply time that our company name reflected our diverse capabilities. Starting out as a one man design shop, Diego Casco built a talented team with a “can do” attitude, allowing Graphic Point Design many opportunities to explore beyond design. Having established strategic alliances with an array of communications experts over the years, we have all the resources necessary to achieve your desired results.

What does this mean to you? Even though our name has changed, our clients will continue to experience the same great service, passion and enthusiasm for producing incredible results. We believe in providing quality work and value driven results through our client centered approach.

We look forward to building on our current business relationships and starting new endeavours.
