What some of our clients are saying:
“As the former Dean for the School of Visual Communications at OSUIT, I have had the pleasure of working with Mark Combs for almost 30 years in one capacity or another. First as a student and then student worker. After that as a design professional, and advisor & advocate of the program. Later as a fellow instructor and colleague. And finally, as his direct supervisor. Mark has been one of my closest and most consistent collaborators, confidants and friends in the design and educational arenas. He is an exceptional talent, bringing fresh ideas and solutions to the table every time he was asked and many times suggesting alternatives when there seemed to be only walls in front of us!
Mark has been a bedrock to build on and I have come to depend on his good nature, willingness and fortitude through both good and trying times. Mark’s ability to give unselfishly, in talent, design, understanding and creativity made him an invaluable part of the team that I was building at OSUIT. I couldn’t and wouldn’t ask for a better employee and friend. Any recommendation that I could give will fall far short of the high esteem and value that I place on this individual, Mark Combs, my very good friend and colleague! If you ever need to or would like to speak with me further about my experiences and interactions with Mark, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will happily oblige your inquiry!”
– James “Mac” McCullough - Dean for the School of Visual Communications - Retired at OSU Institute of Technology, Okmulgee
“Mark Combs is the design person we recommend. We have done a lot of work with Mark and he amazes us every time. He is the best of the best.”
– Justin Dickert, Sales Coordinator, Assemblies Unlimited Packaging
“My experience with Mark Combs was excellent. Mark took on a project that was already behind schedule from another design company and turned the entire magazine layout and design around in under 10 days. Working with Mark has made my job as a magazine publisher easier and allows me to focus on other areas of getting the magazine published. I appreciate knowing my project is in the hands of Mark Combs so that I can focus on the other areas of my business.”
– Ann Pearson, The Paralegal Journal
“Finding a top-notch logo designer that just “gets it” is like throwing darts. Finding Mark Combs is like hitting a bull's eye.”
– Ron Ryan , President/CEO indieEarth, Orlando FL
“Mark and I have worked together for nearly 20 years now. That loyalty is based on the level of trust I have in him and his organization - and the work he delivers. At the risk of sounding like a cliche, the quality of Mark’s work exceeds the price. And the experience is always pleasurable.”
– David Downing, Principal - Downing Advertising Partners, Tulsa, OK
“I have been working with Mark for the past 8 years in the areas of corporate brand identity, package design, graphics,logo wear, presentations, photo shoots, and various areas of printed media. He is always quick to task and works very closely with me to make certain that my projects look like my projects... Mark is a rare find in todays graphic identity environment and his ability is the reason we have and will continue to use Mark’s skill set!”
– Joe Davidson, World Champion BBQ Cook, JoeDavidson.com
“One of the unique advantages to having Mark as your design marketer is his vast turn-key knowledge of the marketing industry. He has helped me with ideas for trade shows, retaining customers, obtaining new customers, branding, designing wraps for autos, stationery and basically whatever was needed to promote the company. Normally, especially in marketing, you have to deal with several companies to accomplish your marketing goals. Mark is like your general contractor and his expertise is invaluable. His Cre8tive Marketing plan takes an average business and positions that business right alongside the “big boys”. I believe, after working with Mark, that any company manager or owner will recognize having Cre8tive Marketing as a part of their business plan was one of their best decisions.”
- Teresa Morison, Advance Alarms
“Mark is a gifted artist who has a great mind for the marketing angle of his suggestions. He prepared several comps, and stepped me through the logo creation process in a way that returned an outstanding deliverable. His attention to your mission, in addition to his excellent design skills, make him worth the extra expense… That is, if you’re serious about making money off your brand. I highly recommend Mark!”
– Joe Hyde, RowdyPulpit.com
“Let me start by saying, that for me it is about the relationships I have in business and in life that make the difference. My biggest fear was working with someone off of the Internet that I have never met. Most of the people I deal with are local. He created a logo for a company that my brother and I started and the experience was just awesome. I was extremely pleased at how responsive he is…to our requests, to our emails, everything for that matter. That was over 3 years ago. I have used him for many different projects, logos, identity creation, marketing advice, graphics for websites, and many other things. What I like the most is that he always answers the phone or email and responds to your needs. One of these days I will actually get to meet him, even though I feel like he is a life-long friend. He is like having your own graphics/marketing person in house.”
– Chris Martin, ZinCode
“Mark Combs and DzinDNA have been a God send for our business. We recently purchased a business and our biggest concern was improving the marketing and professional imagery so that we can franchise the business. After Mark completed our transformation we have gotten hundreds of compliments on the improvements and the biggest showing is in the bottom line. The creative ideas that he brings to the table proved to be a perfect fit for our operation. His customer service is first class and anyone would be shortchanged if they didn’t use Mark for their marketing and creative needs.”
– Taylor Foster, SnowyJoes
“Mark at DzinDNA was incredible to work with. We absolutely LOVE our logo! He has great vision, was a great listener, diligent, very professional and willing to help in any way, quick production and the work he created is top notch. I would recommend him to anyone and have already passed his card throughout my office. Accept his bid with confidence... he is the man that can get your job done just the way you want it.”
– Jennifer Macauley, Realtor, The Real Estate Xchange, Chesapeake, VA
“Mark Combs brings a fresh and creative way to solve a problem graphically. Whether it’s a logo or a layout, he approaches the project methodically and always provides more than he’s asked to do. He’s a fabulous designer and artist ... It’s great working with him.”
– Tim Colwell, APR - Colwell Public Relations . Tulsa
“I found DzinDNA through a web site they had designed for someone else. When I reviewed their work I was very impressed. I could immediately tell they were exactly what I was looking for, but I was concerned I would not be able to afford their services. I contacted Mark to discuss some ideas I had for an event. I had some very tight time constraints. Not only did Mark deliver a great product and meet my tight schedule, but the pricing was very affordable. I definitely got my money’s worth and Mark worked to meet my budget. I only wish I had found their services two years earlier. My schedule did not allow us to meet in person, so we handled everything via e-mail. The whole process was extremely smooth. Mark fills in a blank that definitely needed attention within our organization. Mark is a great resource I plan on using again in the future.”
– Andy Tefertiller – Stone Ridge Estates
“I had a great experience with your company. You had creative ideas that really helped with the logo for my son’s bar mitzvah. We will be using it for everything. You are very professional and responsive to changes and multiple requests for different modifications. Overall a very good job done quickly for a great price. Thanks.”
– Madeline Tabin
“Mark, was very professional and asked me a lot of relevant questions to learn more about my company, product and needs. He was extremely accommodating to ensure I was satisfied with the finished product. I definitely got my money’s worth, well worth the small investment knowing that I could talk to the owner live or e-mail, and he was not satisfied till I was satisfied. It only took a few revisions till Mark had created a logo that communicated the unique qualities of my product, Redi Reach. The finished product not only met but exceeded my initial expectations. As a result I will definitely recommend his services and use him in the future.”
–Joe Polizzi , RediReach LLC, Fairport, NY
“I was blown away by Mark Combs when I viewed the website. I was, and still am, amazed at the quality of work that is produced by Mark. I have never seen anyone or any company create such illustrations and graphic designs. I had a wonderful experience working with Mark. He was very helpful in creating a logo for my company. His ideas were fresh, creative, and professional, as was his guidance throughout the process. He not only provided a wide range of samples for the logo, but he also explained how a logo can be successful and how his techniques can help to achieve the logo I envisioned. Mark held the lines of communication wide open, and made himself available at all times. He produced a logo for my company fast and efficiently, and with high quality. I’ve already recommended Mark to my colleagues!”
–Kelly Sabetta , Founder and President Betta Book Publishing, Rochester, NY
“My experience with Mark Combs has been incredible. Timeliness was a necessity in getting my product line out and Mark made it his priority as well. He was there to help whenever needed and is a very talented and professional designer . I am extremely happy with the experience and the final product. Thanks, Mark!”
– Adria Laxson - Ciel Gallery, Tulsa, OK

Quality, price and good communication were all important ingredients with our project and delivered on all fronts. If you are looking for work to be completed in any of the fields that Mark’s team deals in then we highly recommend that you contact Mark.”

“The key to a successful design project is a great designer with great customer service skills. Mark was a joy to work with. Since we couldn’t sit down and have a physical meeting we were able to accomplish our project through the telephone and the web. He was understanding, patient, and in our case his communication throughout the project was outstanding. Mark was outstanding, our project was outstanding and I recommend Mark to anyone who has design needs. Thank you Mark for your hard work and dedication.”
– Audra Smith - PennWell Corporation, Tulsa, OK

– Gerald Zuckerwar - SportPilotTalk.com, Ellicott City, Maryland.
“Wonderful and very professional. I was impressed with all the logo’s at the web site. This was the deciding factor for me since it was a logo/ Illustration I was looking for. Mark was very patient, helped with my design. Mark made it very clear that if I was unhappy, we would just keep trying until we had a final design. Love that there is unlimited revisions to the design until we are happy. Takes the pressure off of worrying about more money being put out.”
– Jacqueline Darke-Midnight Angel – Midnight Angel Productions, Ontario, Canada
“Amazingly quick work. Mark seemed genuinely excited to be involved in making our logo which made it all the better for us. He had an idea, executed it over the weekend and had a draft for us to look at in short order. Needless to say, it was perfect. We didn’t even need a 2nd draft but he went ahead and did one for us anyways. Top shelf work at a great price and easy to work with. What more could you ask for?”
– Matthew James - Matador Media Group
“Mark’s design work stood out above the rest of the portfolios we saw on ifreelance.com, and we saw quite a few. There was a certain something extra there and we couldn’t be happier with the end result.”
– Michael Judkins - WeekendTreasure.com
“Mark, working with you has been a pleasure. We were new to the process of creating our company logo. You had a great deal of patience, with our numerous questions and revisions. You were able to give us a variety of possibilities and ideas to choose from and, in the end, we ended up with an awesome logo. Thanks for your time and concern, we look forward to working with you again in the future.
– Bill Bailey - Turned Turtle Graphix, Owasso, OK
“Working with Mark was a great experience. He is very concise and to the point with his work, he is prompt, and he is able to take input and feedback on deliverables and turn them into exactly what you’re looking for! I would highly recommend working with him, as he is able to produce a high quality, professional product within a very timely manner, and he is very responsive and communicates well during the entire process. Don’t think twice about it, the value for your business is a no brainer and working with Mark is very simple and straight forward.”
- Claiborne Myers, Myers Media
“I use Mark regularly for our franchise business. Having worked with many creatives over the years, I can say that Mark brings to our business only positives. He is fast yet diligent and always willing to take the note and go back to the drawing board or make changes. I have been so impressed with Mark, that we hired him to do work for a separate business. The ask was a little funky and not necessarily straight forward. Mark wowed with what he brought to that job and we are eager to work with him again. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a creative asset in their organization.”
- Megan Bruton, One World Fitness

He is such an important part of our team that we include him in our weekly team meetings, client meetings and the team page on our own website. Our entire team highly recommends Mark Combs for all your graphic and design needs. He is brilliant – every time! “
– Melissa Rogozinski - RPC Strategies LLC
“I am a perfectionist in everything I do. So hiring someone to create a brand mark for my business is not a decision I take lightly. Mark Combs has created logos for 4 of my business and he has delivered every time – including one design which is now my all-time favorite logo. Wayyyy better than Apple and Nike. Mark is unassuming but brilliant. You’re crazy if you don’t hire him!”
– David Pinkley, owner – CareerSage, HiringSage, ResumeSage – Charlotte, NC
