Our Logos Development


hand photo proto 1 for logo As noted our our page "Our Beginnings!" Co-Founders Mr. Edward W. LeMahieu and Brett E. LeMahieu developed a photo that inspired our Logo. The shot was taken in Brett's Supported Living Apartment in Salinas, California, in 2007. "One day I was feeling inspired to grab a photo while I helped Brett up - having done it thousands of times before, over decades. I thought maybe one day we could turn that image into a logo for an Organization to help the disabled - offering a helping hand!
- Co-Founder Ed LeMahieu".

hand photo proto 2 for logoLater, in 2008, after re-locating to LA, Ed and Brett developed an improved photo for the foundation of the Logo. With a little help from a design firm, Adobe Photoshop, coordination with the Articles, Bylaws, Board meetings, etc. etc, - and photo vision become a reality! Our symbol and message was finalized in May, 2012, by Board Resolution to accept the Corporate Identity firm's proposal.
