Today, GLHN Architects & Engineers, Inc. launched a dynamic new look that embodies the firm’s strength as a total design entity, providing integrated professional services in architecture and mechanical, electrical, civil, and technology engineering. GLHN’s new logo is a window into a kaleidoscope, revealing the intricate beauty and complexity of collaborating disciplines.

GLHN Graphic Artist, Beth Adriaanse, designed the new look to address the challenge of representing several diverse disciplines with one logo. The window logo is an ideal solution because it is all-inclusive and dynamic, providing for endless multi-media adaptations and opportunities for reinvention. Printed materials, like letterhead and business cards, will use a blue kaleidoscope image. Multi-media presentations, like the firm’s website, will use a transparent version.

As we approach a half century of service, the company is fully committed to the use of Building Information Modeling, the integration of LEED principles, energy modeling, master planning, and commissioning.
