Jan Cummings and Peter Good believe that a simple truth of communication is that its effectiveness changes as perceptions of words and images change. And they love solving communication problems -- whether their own artistic obsessions or the unique business and marketing needs of their many design clients. Over the years they have created a myriad of identities, posters, books, collateral, packaging, web sites and exhibits for Fortune 500 corporations, museums, arts-related organizations and entrepreneurial companies.

In the past decade, Cummings & Good have designed new identites for the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism, The Mark Twain House & Museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Old State House, the Connecticut Humanities Council, the University of Connecticut, Connecticut College, the Bartlett Arboretum, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas New Haven, and the Special Olympics World and Peace Games. Their colorful and clever posters, banners and billboards are recognized throughout Connecticut, and their work is consistently published in all the major graphic design periodicals in the world.

In both their personal and professional lives they are inspired by the challenges and richness of the external world. Not adhering to learned doctrine, they follow an organic process—always evolving in response to complex and dynamic needs.
