David approached us to design a modern logo and brand which also summed up his high-class bespoke tailoring. It also has a classic edge to it with the button image injecting a little humour.
As a leading importer of stone from around the world, In-stone asked for an uncomplicated design for their brand. The use of this font gives a clean feel to the logo with a literal 'in stone' twist in the 'o'.
We were asked by the ippr (Institute for Public Policy Research) to take a look at the overall look and feel of their brand, logo and publications. The aim was to bring everything together into a recognisable family to use across the organisation.
After designing the brand and logo for In-stone, they asked us to design their company brochure. We chose this classic, yet contemporary design to show off the services of the company to the full. The uncoated finish gives the final publication a clean 'just-printed' feel.
After a successful rebrand of the ippr logo, we developed a series of designs and templates for use with various regular publications, stationery and banners. The four colour horizontal block lends itself to establishing the department the publication has been produced by and what the subject matter is.
In the final two years of the last Labour Government, we designed all of the publications for their annual sports fundraiser held at Wembley Stadium. The strong use of imagery and large single word copy came together to produce this dynamic collection of brochures, leaflets and stationery. In the past we also designed and produced everything from simple leaflets to the general election manifesto.
This local firm of architects won the chance to pitch for the redesign of Parliament Square, London SW1. As a rule the tender documents are black and white A4 but director Chris Williamson wanted to produce a new style which would be eye-catching, large and colourful, with a turn around time of one week including photography.
During the final two years of the last Labour Government the events unit from 10 Downing Street approached us to design a backdrop to be used during the prime minister's monthly media conference. This is contemporary but also has the red, white and blue of the union flag.
Our work with UK Skills is many and varied. The two largest projects have been the UK Skills exhibition stand in Rotterdam and the recent UK Skills competition area in London. Using established elements and new designs, both were extremely well received by all stakeholders.
As a charity, the Wildlife Trusts have a yearly event at the House of Commons to promote their Living Landscape campaign. There are 12 regions represented at the event and we designed and printed a series of pull-up banners for display around the room. The 12 different colours and images came together to create a stunning backdrop.
This multi-media production company asked us to design a website that would not only show off their past work to its best, but would also be easily accessible with clearly set out information about them and the services they offer.

After designing the brand and logo for In-stone, they asked us to develop their website. The use of large images backed up by copy gives the website a high-class feel, and the simple movement adds to the overall attraction of the site.

Paul Bayliss is an established flame artist and asked us to design and develop his site to show off his work in a way that would be clear and easy to use whilst being cutting edge and representative of the industry.

ITF ORGANISING MANUAL - organising strategy
This A5 reference manual for coordinating union workers involved not only designing the layout but also all the graphs and PowerPoint presentations on the attached CD.
We are also translating the complete project into French and Spanish.
Steve Humphreys SKETCHBOOK - communicating ideas
Design by Committee created this A4 publication showcasing a collection of sketches by Steve Humphreys from the architects Weston Williamson.
The brief involved the words 'white' and 'space' which is always a good start!
ITF campaigns - Fair and Safe Ferries for All / Raising Standards for Dock Workers
This fast turnaround project involved not one but two logo designs as well as their application to a concise range of materials.
The resulting sub-brands are strong, iconic and pertinent to the individual campaigns.
LUCIUS Bar & Kitchen - in the heart of Gipsy Hill
Having worked closely with the owner of LUCIUS on several other restaurant brands this project involved creating a logo and applying it across a range of printed and digital media.
We couldn't resist when they mentioned crispy stone baked pizza.
We designed, built and maintain the Colorset website and are proud to have worked closely with them on numerous projects for more than a decade. Please contact us for a comprehensive list of the diverse range of designs we have created together.
