Our MISSION
We are strong supporters of education and community service organizations. Our clients are a mix of for-profit and non-profit entities, and we believe every organization and business must market their message effectively.
We are pragmatists who believe design is a communications tool first and an art form second. Good design channels a particular message and should reflect the client's goals, not the designer's artistic tastes.

MORE ABOUT OUR NAME
Stage 2 derives its name from the massive second segment of the Saturn V moon rocket. Advanced rockets like the Saturn V are actually several rockets placed on top of one another. The first rocket, or "stage" ignites on the launch pad and lifts the craft off the ground. Then it drops away and the second stage ignites, taking the crew into outer space. The image at right shows stage two and its engines being lowered by crane onto the first stage in preparation for launch.
