    I recently started a videography business here in Santa Barbara and realized that if I wanted to…read morebuild my brand, then one of the first steps would be to have a eye catching logo. I tried to do this on my own at first and the results were pretty crappy. Luckily I had been to an art exhibition at the DNA Gallery on Guitterez and learned that they did an entire range of services, with logo creation being one of the many. I met with Derren (the D of DNA) to discuss ideas and he was very helpful. He was very open to my suggestions, but also provided the guidance I needed to get my logo to where I could actually visualize it in my mind. It was amazing how he took just a few words and color suggestions and was able to convey that to his team. The actual logo was created by Ana (the A of DNA) and I was amazed at how quickly she worked. Within days I had 4 different black and white sketches or mock ups. I was super excited and was able to speak again with Derren and combine all my favorite aspects of each into one logo I was in love with. The end result was amazing. I could not be happier. The logo they designed completely captures the essence of my company. It tells the whole story in one simple and elegant picture. I am super excited about it and have had numerous compliments on it. I can't wait to have them create some t-shirts and business cards for me as well. Bottom line, the good people at DNA are creative geniuses. They are young and their ideas are unique and exciting. I would highly recommend them for any of your imagery needs. I am confident I have found my go to people for anything imagery related.

    Richard recently wrapped our company van and he did such an incredible job. It was intricate work…read moreand our logo was not easy to do but he made it look so professional and he had excellent ideas. The price was great, and we often get calls from people who want our services because they have seen our van out on the road. Thank you very much Variety Wraps, we at OrganizAngels are so grateful!

    1-Star Review for Variety Wraps…read more I began working with Richard at Variety Wraps in late September to design and install a business wrap on my 2007 Toyota Yaris. At first, things seemed positive -- I provided my logo, and we discussed design ideas, colors, and the heavy oxidation on my car's paint. Richard acknowledged that and said he would determine the right "tackiness" of vinyl to make it adhere properly. Unfortunately, the project quickly became an ongoing "big experimentation," in his own words. He repeatedly mentioned how difficult the oxidation made the job but never recommended the proper preparation steps -- such as sanding or priming -- that other reputable wrap shops later told me are essential for adhesion and longevity. Several shops confirmed that a car with significant oxidation should never be wrapped without those steps. Instead, he continued trying to apply pieces of wrap directly to the oxidized paint, saying he was "testing different materials." After delays, scrapped pieces, and constant complaints from him about how challenging the job was, it became clear he didn't have the expertise for this situation -- or any real timeline. At one point, he admitted he couldn't say when the car would be finished because of the "special situation." I needed the car for work and had planned to bring it back, but when I picked it up, though the roof had been completed, the cuts were uneven in places making it look unfinished. At that point, I decided I couldn't continue. He later invoiced me for "a la carte" fees, including $300 for artwork, $150 for prep/experimentation, $250 for the completed roof, and $250 for partial installation -- charging me half of the quoted price, even though not even half of the car had been completed. I paid to close the chapter, but I regret it. He texted me several times afterward asking to finish the job, but I simply couldn't risk it. Would you? When I asked why he didn't sand the car first, his response said it all: "I'm not a paint expert." He even began questioning me about how other companies handle sanding and rust prevention -- which made it clear who was actually lacking expertise. Worse, when I asked for the design files I had already paid for, he stopped responding to my messages. To date, I have never received them. I've went to a more professional shop that confirmed the problems with his work: uneven cuts, no protective lamination, and improper preparation. I strongly caution anyone considering Variety Wraps -- especially if your vehicle has paint wear or oxidation. Richard kept saying he was trying to "educate" me about the issues, but after he used my car as an experiment, I'm not sure I was the one who needed the lesson. What should have been a simple business wrap became an expensive and frustrating "experiment".
