Telling Your Stories. Kindig Omnimedia has changed its name. We are now Ztories IMC (Integrated Marketing Communication). Our focus is much the same, but now our name reflects, not the tools we use but the end result we achieve for you.

Please pronounce the name "Stories". We tell your stories, most often by using your people to articulate what you know best -- the things that make you different as an institution, or company, or product line.

Why Ztories? ("stories")

When we set out to create a new logo to represent what we do, we decided that the main visual focus should be the human personality: the active, competitive, aspirational, ethos and pathos and logos of our individual stories.

Meanwhile, the technologies we employ would only be hinted at in the design.

So after working on it awhile we concluded that the cave painting represents our individual stories, told in the flickering light of a community fire on the medium of the cave wall. It's a timeless and time honored forum for expression, and we found a painting from the dawn of civilization that captures that essence of human struggle, defeat, and victory. You can see an actual photograph of the original north African artwork here.

The background circle for our logo hints at two things that reflect the technologies we use as filmmakers: the photographic process which is depicted by the spherical front of a lens, and the editorial process which is indicated by the countdown graphic so common in early black & white films.

Of course, he was speaking of what makes for success in Hollywood movies that he was instrumental in bringing to the screen while the head of Paramount. Movies like Flashdance and the Indiana Jones series. When he went to Disney, he brought the same sensibilities to his role in assembling talent for movies like Dead Poets' Society. I paid close attention to his words, though, when I chose the shots for my productions on behalf of clients. And over the years, some of my best work in terms of powerful human emotions has been done in the college recruiting or admissions genre. The clip from Denison's 2004 commencement which you see above, no doubt, will find its way into the next Denison Admissions DVD, currently in production. What are the top 7 ingredients of success in a college admissions DVD? Here's my perspective, based on 20 years of award-winning experience.... (click here for more)
