Van-Go…New Website Launch! | 9 September 2008 |
The clever play on words with this new business provided the brief that Van-Go’s identity should hint towards paintings by the artist Van Gogh. We went with the famous Sunflower reference mainly because the image is so vivid, colourful and eye-catching. We think Van-Go is a really strong brand and wish them every success!

Psychogenic | 5 August 2008 |
As a new band in a swamped market it can be hard to catch attention. Psychogenic knew that a memorable web-application would help them in this pursuit. They wanted their website to work as a piece of installation art - and to match the oppressive feel of their debut album. Web-users can listen to the music, create an account and then download 3 tracks off the album.

Production SOS - Logo | 24 July 2008 |
The Production SOS brand was inspired by the golden age of movie making. Our aim was to create a strong, slick logo that would work well on text only web pages. We were particularly pleased with the simplicity of the design, and the successful blend of contemporary and classical style.

Magnolia Cottage - Affordable Website Solution | 15 November 2007 |
As a business start-up Suzanne couldn’t afford a large outlay for her web-application. We offered her an affordable solution and also set up a Google Ads campaign (as opposed to the adverts she was putting in her local paper) that allowed her to directly target people who were interested in her services. Suzanne has since stopped putting the ad in the paper and has doubled her Google Ads budget!

Koru Koru - Logo & Brand Establishment | 13 September 2007 |
We created a couple of various designs for the Koru Koru logo but decided on this one as it reflects the exclusivity and quality of the brand. The use of black throughout the website and logo provides maximum impact for the beautiful jewellery and allows customers to focus their attention on the product.

Uzu - Designs for Asian Restaurant | 10 May 2007 |
This piece of graphic design was a commission for a couple who required some original artwork for their new London pad. The brief was non-specific but needed to embrace typical London themes. We chose the iconic image of the Routemaster due to how striking it looked next to the modern interior in which it was to live.

Globe Call - Logo Design | 10 March 2006 |
This logo has an intimate feel to it provided by the hand-drawn effect. The service was primarily created for people travelling the world as a means of staying in touch with their loved ones. The logo is both the letter ‘g’ as well as a representation of the world on the phone!
