Hats off to Mike Diehl. Album covers in the morning and some of the finest logo work in the afternoon. This guy can do it all.

I appreciate the great work you did on the film. You can look at any of those newspapers, paused on a DVD, and read the whole stories – they’re that good. I was particularly impressed with the last batch you did, with your great knowledge of the story and characters. It was like Jack Burden himself was editing those papers. They were wonderful.
Thanks for all your work — and so much of it under time pressures. You always came through.

Oh my! My delay in replying is purely because you do too good a job and it’s the thing I don’t have to worry about. The calendar is fantastic, I think it’s gonna look amazing onscreen. And the director loves it.

The brochure compliments keep coming. People love the visuals and it has helped in exposing the events to our patrons. We have received a few memberships in the mail from them as well. It has been a key piece of our launch into getting in front of as many people as possible.

Someone asked me how I produce so many events, in so many venues, etc., without having a full time staff. What I said is I have a network of indie contractors, who are charged with various functions of what I do, and that it all works because they all have a good sense and feel for what I do— they anticipate needs, are flexible, and they deliver. You would be at the top of that list!

I’m sort of dumbstruck over what’s happened in the past 16 hours. For one thing, this solution never would have existed except for our conversation last night. If I had done it myself, I would have produced a tasteful, low-key cover. But this piece— it’s so powerful, it’s scary. My cover would have been very nice. This cover kicks some serious ass.

Thanks for this great work, Mike. There’s no better art director for this project — you’re able to bring so many elements together (and find new ones) in such an elegant way. It’s something AIP can really take pride in, as do I.

I really appreciate all your help with our projects this year, and look forward to many more in the next. You always handle everything so capably and knowledgeably, giving me the confidence of knowing we are in good hands!

Man. You do such great work. That Ken Nordine cover is one of my favorite covers in recent history. Great logos. And web design for the Jung institute! The Live Talks LA ad is great too. Very great stuff, Mike. Professional, clean, and very well thought out.
I should add that you are a pleasure to work with as well!

You are responsive and good. We can’t make a move without talking to you first because every time you engage you make the outcome so much better.

You’re truly a great art director/designer/thinker. I often marvel at how many different ways you’re able to do something great. You don’t have a formula that you keep using. You just have standards and principles of how an assignment, a client, a problem, an opportunity is best served, solved, addressed. Sometimes your solutions are very smart. Sometimes they’re very beautiful. And sometimes they just seek to knock one out of one’s chair, or shoes, or known universe, in whatever way possible.

I have yet to show my logo to somebody who hasn’t said “Wow.” Working with Mike makes me want to go out and start ten new businesses.

There’s a website for photographers and models where I watermark all my pictures with my logo. I’m getting email complimenting me — not on the pictures, mind you, but on the fucking watermark.

I just went on the site and ordered a couple of items. Great selection, easy to use site, and easy-peasy purchase and check out. Everything one needs for a fun shopping experience.
Everything is so beautifully presented—I love the pics of the tags in use. The site is easy to use & ordering is flawless.
I very much enjoy exploring through the site. It’s beautiful and simple and easy. Each design is charming and lovely, and looks terrific even blown way up.
The website is very appealing, works smoothly and shows off the merchandise really well.
Congratulations, I just took a quick peek and the tags look wonderful and so does the site design. The site was fast and easy to navigate, I look forward to looking at a slower pace.
Everything looks fabulous. I like that the home page has great big pictures, which are all really well shot. Navigation is clear and easy. There are a lot of choices, but the experience is not overwhelming.
