The logo was started on the basis of Matthew forming the company. The letter M is the foundation with the two buildings forming the letter to represent that Krumsiek & Associates, P.C. is always looking to expand. This simplified premise starts the framework of our logo design which fluxes into even greater meaning.

The color scheme was decided on right away.

Blue is interpreted to constitute trust, honesty and loyalty- three of the values held so strong and steadfast by the founders. From a psychology perspective, the selection of a darker shade of blue such as navy exhibits an inner security and confidence; reliable and responsible. A perfect representation of the services and visions of the company.

Orange is a powerful color. It is said that in the ancient times if wisdom or a change of any kind was sought, burn an orange candle for seven nights. Orange stimulates enthusiasm and creativity, it subliminally suggests vitality with endurance. Businesses need energy to sustain, grow, and find success.

The real-life representation of these colors lives and breathes within our office.

A) - The highest peak (building), shows our strive for perfection. Our continued drive for the success of our clients and our firm. It is the area by which few other advisers dare to cross and distinguishes our advice from the rest. It is the advantage of superior expertise rising above the competition. To our clients, this is having our Rolodex of influences in your corner. Understanding whatever conflict or situation arises, our firm will rise above with a swift resolution.

B) – The smaller peak (building) in the back is symbolic of mankind - we are always working harder for our next generations. The second building reminds us that there is always competition in the marketplace. Without proper planning, competition can easily overrun us. The necessity of keeping up to date on what new capabilities are available and how the ever-changing tax laws can be capitalized. Overall it reminds us, while experts in our craft, we are only on our way to total greatness.

C) - The steps in the building represent the stages of business. Each company goes through growth stages on their way to the top. Likewise, there are mirrored steps on the reverse side in the decline of an industry or business. These multi-steps add character to the buildings. The choices we take in business- the efficiencies, strategies, and services we implement- build the character and reputation of our businesses. We developed this logo to represent the character of Krumsiek & Associates, P.C. and the way building the road to our futures will be marked by our strategic decisions.

This symbolizes our reputation and the trust and loyalty to our clients. It is here where we provide the greatest attribute to our clients- confidence. We build our clients confidence by giving them the ability to make educated decisions. This ensures each choice is strategic.
