Los Angeles, California – June 2, 2003
- Rayhawk Corporation (RAYHAWK.COM) announces the launch of manhattancap.com, Manhattan Capital Partners’ (manhattanCAPITAL) new home on the World Wide Web.

As a merchant banking and corporate strategy hybrid with international reach, manhattanCAPITAL needed an online presence that would cater to visitors from across the globe. To accomplish this, Rayhawk created a site that resonates with powerful visuals and universal appeal.

The site features a high-impact splash page that provides a potent first impression. With a unique Flash-driven menu system, the splash page is both immediately engaging and distinctive. As you browse through the site, each page has its own personality and an animated title banner that tells a story. These animated title banners help to showcase the contents of each page. This is exemplified by the “What We Do” page which features the “Here Today, There Tomorrow” tagline and an animation that goes from the empty building of day one to the bristling office of years to come. This clearly highlights manhattanCAPITAL’s commitment to helping startups grow into established players.

Throughout the site, imagery of office interiors have been deployed to represent the diverse companies that manhattanCAPITAL supports with it’s international clout and strategic alliances. Furthermore, as a brand re-enforcement measure, Rayhawk’s designers made innovative use of the sextant icon in both animations and imagery.

manhattancap.com will also serve as a gateway to an “investors-only” area that is password protected. After successfully logging in, investors will gain access to privileged information that will be updated periodically by manhattanCAPITAL using the Rayhawk Refresh site management tool.

About Rayhawk Corp.
In 1999, a team of brand developers, graphic designers, and special effects wizards, joined forces to define the future of marketing. The result is Rayhawk Corp., a privately held company located in Southern California, dedicated to creating state-of-the-art, high impact media.

Today Rayhawk has rapidly grown into a full service branding management house with the capability to deploy print, packaging, commercials, and web campaigns, but the mission remains the same - to create high caliber strategy-driven media and make these resources available to companies that desperately need brand building.
