Logo Design for Olympic Artist Paul Cummins

Posted on 17.01.12 by Chris

We have been working with local artist Paul Cummins to develop an identity for himself and his art.  Paul will be producing Around 15,000 hand-thrown ceramic blooms to create a quintessentially English flower garden at locations around the country including Chiswick House and Gardens, House of Commons and the Southbank Centre.

Paul Cummins is a Midlands-based ceramic fine artist with a fast-developing reputation. He is known for his distinctive landscape installations and traditional earthenware pans. His work features exuberant flower glazes and the signature flower heads and vessels are reminiscent of ceramics from the Mediterranean.

You can find out more about his work on the london 2012 site.

Louise Plant Logo Design

Posted on 04.01.12 by Chris

The Revolver Revolver studio have been working closely with sculptor Louise Plant an Elected Associate of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and recipient of the prestigious Brian Mercer Award, to develop a visual identity that will help her publicise her unique sculpture all over the world.

Creating a logo for an individual presents unique challenges as the work becomes incredibly personal, while also needing to represent the completed, current and future works that wil be produced.  We spent a day with Louise and her team talking about her work and taking a trip to her rural studio to get a real grip of how we would present this in a graphical format.

The result is a strikingly simple shape constructed in very definitive angles and treated in classical black and white, which won’t detract from her sculpture but adds value and creates a starting point for us to develop her marketing materials.

DG Scott Logo Design

Posted on 21.12.11 by Alan

DG Scott are a steel fabrication and engineering company based in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Working in collaboration with fellow Friar Gate Studios tenants Essential Marketing Solutions, we are giving DG Scott a new identity, design strategy and approach to their marketing materials. DG Scott’s new identity is a perfect fit for their industry, and a design we’re proud to have produced. As you can see from the before shot, their old logo was tired, and just not up to the job. We’ve simplified the design, and given it a feel that more than fits their needs and target market.

Cocoa Works Brochure Arrives

Posted on 15.07.11 by Chris

To say we’re chuffed with the results really doesn’t do this brochure justice.  Sometimes a project just clicks and all the elements come together at just the right time, and this is a great example.  The stunning photography provided by Tristan Poyser which made the layout really shine, the amazing results of the foil blocked cover from A14, a client who ‘gets it’, and of course our hard work has made this project a real success.  You can download a copy from here although the printed version is the real star.
