Make a great first impression.

Customers assess your brand at a subconscious level. In a moment or two, customers make instinctive decisions about your brand's "feel" and "personality". That's why branding is vitally important. Your brand needs to gain the confidence and trust of your customers. Every brand touch point must make a consistent and quality impression. This includes your logo, business cards, website, office, retail space and trade booth or pop-up

Get your brand really working for your business.

Mac Forbes Wines

Mac Forbes produces a series of wines for the UK Wine Society. We designed the wine label, inspired by the wine rings left on the table linen after a great dinner party with friends and family. The artwork is created with watercolour to represent a looser and artier design, more in keeping with Mac Forbes brand positioning and product. Our work was review by Joanna Simon's food and wine blog.

DLineate

New York and Berlin based consulting firm bridges the divide between arts and science organisations. We created a fun, memorable and elegant brand identity. The dappled D represents the confluence of ideas with the core concept of "idea bubbles" combined with scientific elements like atoms, neutrons and electrons. Rotating the "D" 90 degrees demonstrates how the firm approaches collaborations from different angles and an added bit of fun, it looks like a happy face. The bold yellow reflected the firm's youthful creative approach.

Annie's Provedore

We developed the integrated retail vision for food purveyor Annie's Provedore which started with a "farm store" identity logo based on a farm chicken - the Orpington "chook". We designed the website, chicken animation, collateral, bathroom murals, signage, store design and art direction on all advertising and publications. The quarterly menu magazine concept helped increase sales on key items with a story about each producer.

Annie's Kitchen

As the Annie's Provedore brand extended into catering and online sales we recommended creating a separate brand identity. We delivered a brand strategy, new brand positioning and logo design to partner with the existing "mother" and flagship brand. We also managed store signage and digital design to support the new brand.
