One of the great things about working with food and drink producers is that we, of course, get to taste the goods. We have enjoyed the macadamia nut rum cakes, sushi, paninis, Indian food and desserts we have tasted on the way to creating the logos, signage, websites and print collateral for the businesses with […]
There should be only one boat that comes to mind for luxury sportfishing in Kona, Hawaii: TOPSHAPE. It is, quite simply, in a class by itself. As Captain Al, the owner and operator of TOPSHAPE, likes to make clear: there is Kona fishing and there is TOPSHAPE fishing. This makes sense: there is chocolate and […]
One of the most cost-effective, revenue-generating thing a business can do is upgrade its signage. The saying that signs don’t cost; they pay is certainly true in most instances. One of our recently completed projects is new signage for the Alii Gardens Marketplace. This is a nice, open-air market on Alii Drive. Popular with tourists […]
A few months ago, one of Coach Walters’ sons, Brett, came in to Kona Impact asking if we’d design a new logo for the football team. We immediately knew this would be a “community project”; that is, something we do at no charge for a good cause in the community. Kona Impact does a lot […]

Kona Impact has been monitoring a trend of increased mobile access to our websites for the past year or so. All the websites we create are standards-compliant, meaning they can be viewed correctly on almost all modern browsers, including mobile devices, such as iPhones and Android cell phones. The problem is that almost all cell […]
One of the best things about living in Kona, Hawaii is the ocean. With the Kona Impact office a block away, we often find ourselves going for a stroll and looking out at the magnificent Pacific Ocean. One of our new clients runs a glass bottom boat tour tour from Kailua Bay. What we love […]
Our office will be closed from Friday, May 27, through Monday, May 30. We will reopen again on Tuesday. Have an enjoyable Memorial Day, and don’t forget to remember those who have given so much to make America what it is today. They deserve our thanks and gratitude!
In the early days of Kona Impact, we would do business with anyone who came in the door.

We often invoke what […]
