New look for DLP
We recently produced a new logo for DLP, a company which houses a dedicated team of professionals offering a complete range of HR Consultancy Services to businesses of all sizes. The brief was to design a whole new brand which would bring the company bang up to date and one which would make a lasting impression and impact.
We went to work researching the business, its beliefs and values and through careful design development constructed a logo that suited the company and one that the client was very happy with.
The logo is just the beginning and there is more yet to come from DLP as we develop the brand further - so watch this space!

Strictly PHP Charity Event
On Friday 18th March we attended a charity event hosted by our client, The Private Health Partnership. Eight Directors and Managers from the company donned their sequins and leotards to dance Ballroom and Latin in 'Strictly PHP', their very own version of Strictly Come Dancing for charity.
The company came to us for all the branding for the event which we were more than happy to provide for such a worthy cause! It was eventually won by Marketing Manager, Abigail Jones. The event had an audience of over 180 and raised in excess of £4,000 for PHP's charity of the year, Leeds Children's Hospital.

A visit to our
client's brewery
Off Beat are a small craft brewery based in Crewe, Chesire. They were establishing the business and approached us for a brand that would be contemporary, eye-catching and different to the norm. Off Beat loved the end result and as a way of thanks we were invited down to the brewery to watch the process and have a taster - which we were more than happy to do!

St Gemmas
Brand Launch
Dan Bordoley who is a Children and young peoples worker from St Gemma's Hospice, came to us looking for a new brand to promote the 'Young Peoples Service', a service dedicated to helping young children cope with family bereavement.
Children from the St. Gemma's Young People's Service worked closely with Paul our Senior Creative to create a personality which they felt they could take ownership of. Paul had several sessions with both Dan and the children, and working together they accomplished a well suited identity and personality which now consists of the logo, newsletters, note sheet leaflets and website (including Rawry the mascot lion!).
To thank us for all our hard work, Paul was invited to the brand launch which was a fun filled day packed with a press launch and games for the children. We continue to work with St Gemma's helping them to provide the best possible service for the young people.

Greetland Academy
Re-Brand
When Greetland first approached us, they were in transition from Primary School to Academy status, with this in mind they were looking to re-brand. This required a new identity, one that would no only carry the Academy status but also appeal to the pupils. Involved in the design process were parents, teachers, governors and also the pupils.
With a project of this size, it was vital to include all stake holders involved with the new Academy. Careful planning and several seminars were held to ensure everyone felt they had say over such a large transition.

Stepping into space
In August we were given the chance to stretch our limbs after moving into a new and more spacious studio. We now have an open-space office, a formal meeting room, a client waiting area, a relaxing lounge and a large design space. We've been putting it all to use, filling it up with piles of hard work and used teacups.
