Name generation
What’s in a name? Well, lot’s actually. Choosing the right name can make a huge difference to the commercial success of a brand. Our process involves in-depth research, analysis and testing to make sure you’re packing a punch right from the off; bounding leagues above your competitors.
Logo / mark
Your logo is the face of your business, and no one wants an ugly face... A great logo can be timeless. It can encapsulate your persona and provide the pivot of your brand. Our logos are thoroughly researched and reasoned. They are crafted and always aim to be memorable, long-lasting and intelligent.
Trademark registration
Your brand should be a huge asset to your business and trademarking this protects it from imitators so you can sell it, franchise it or allow others to licence it. We've trademarked our creations both nationally and internationally to help give our clients protection and piece of mind.
Brand strategy & planning
Design is as much about effectiveness as it is aesthetics. We research, analyse and plan to establish authentic points of difference - defining an interwoven series of semantic characteristics. These can persuade, evoke emotion, tell a story, enable dialogue and solve a problem. If the strategy is solid and the semantics are right, the sky is the limit.
Graphic language
Your graphic language is how your business visually communicates to the world encompassing an expansive series of customer touch points; a sum of many moving parts where the devil is found in the implementation. Some of the most valuable work continues after the logo is delivered, because brands with personality are alive and continually evolving.
Brand guidelines
With a comprehensive set of guidelines you can show others how to use your brand to its full potential and, more importantly, consistently - wherever it may appear. We'll provide instructions to cover the tiniest detail, from the style and treatment of imagery to the right font and document layouts. No stone is left unturned.

Wireframing & prototyping
Determining what you want to say and how you present that information is the most important aspect of developing a website.
