Evolve Surf School

February 14, 2022

We were approached by a start up company who are based near St Ives, Cornwall earlier in the new year. They were looking for a logo design that looked awesome, but wasn’t going to break the bank.

We gave them some different options, including typographic, iconic and colour variations to gauge what they considered a funky logo.

A few weeks later and we have the final logo. It was adapted for Facebook / Meta to fit the required size.

Visit Evolve for a surf lesson that promises to get you water fit, wave savvy and enjoy the ocean.

Logo Design – sketches

July 16, 2021July 16, 2021

I love the initial concept stage of creating a new logo.

After some research and armed with a black biro, I take to the paper and draw some first thoughts and let the pen do the talking.

Try to avoid being influenced and restricted by the mouse & iMac, my preliminary sketches are raw, rough and sometimes too simple.!

The development of the logo will depend on many other factors.

In-house design teams: how does the Royal Mint design…

August 13, 2020December 2, 2020

The Royal Mint can produce five billion coins every year. That enormous figure includes coins for circulation as well as commemorative designs which have an eclectic focus, from a full English breakfast to the Angel of the North. The government-owned organisation dates all the way back to 886, and was originally run from the Tower of London until it moved to London’s East End at the start of the 19th century. In the 1960s, it moved to a 35-acre site in Llantrisant, Wales (about 30 minutes from Swansea) where it employs more than 900 people, and has two internal design teams. While it primarily creates coins and medals for the UK, it also exports designs to over 60 countries.

Toyota reveals new logo and visual identity for Europe

July 29, 2020December 2, 2020

The “forward-facing” brand identity for the Japanese car company includes an on-trend flat logo in an attempt to create a more “premium” appearance.

Toyota has unveiled a new logo and visual identity for its Europe division, which looks to oversee the car company’s journey into a “more progressive brand”.

The identity – designed by international consultancy The&Partnership – will be used across all internal and external brand communications. The&Partnership’s European design team is behind the work, which includes a redesigned logo, colour palette and typeface.

The&Partnership head of design Dan Beckett tells Design Week that the previous identity – not changed since 2009 – was beginning to feel “tired”. It needed to be more “premium”, “forward-facing” and better adapted to mobile platforms, he adds.

English Rose – a short poem

June 11, 2020December 2, 2020

One Perfect Rose

A single flow’r he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet—
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
“My fragile leaves, ” it said, “his heart enclose.”
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.
