Project

We designed a branding and signage for Lady Bay Studios a Nottingham co-working studio. The office is owned by Landscape designers DSA Environment + Design who wanted to make the office a creative hub for design professionals.

We created an umbrella brand which drew on the distinctive shape of the 19080’s building. The brand was then applied to office signage, as well as a marketing brochure, website and social media.

Project

Simpkin Burley designed a visually strong brand for this financial planning business. We used contemporary type combined with a black and white colour palette to demonstrate our clients clarity of message. The bold style of the brand instils a strong sense of quality and trust. The concept of plain-speaking advice is conveyed by a graphic device inspired by a keyboard shortcut.

The identity was applied to an extensive suite of applications. This included stationery, corporate literature, a website, video marketing, office signage and advertising campaigns as well as a monthly lifestyle magazine.

We believe that wayfinding is more than just a service that we provide. Throughout years in the design industry the way you design a wayfinding project has led us to work in a specific way and had a profound effect on our process.
