GTOOC logo design

A new owners club forum has just launched this month, and as part of getting the club up and running, the moderators asked if those with the know-how would put forward some ideas for a club logo.

I was asked by invite from one of the staff to re-work an old logo idea I had sometime ago on another forum that was never used. I was glad to help and after many changes and lots of comments from the different users online I finally finished the design.

The club was organised to help and create a community for those that drive the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT, which of course I am one. The website is here: www.gtooc.org

BosomBuddies Website

I was approached last year to look at a website re-design, after about 6 months NHS funding was approved and I met with Caroline Cattell.

We discussed the function of the site, and it was important that not only was the website to be more dynamic, it was also meant to be able to relay news and events happening around the essex area. This would require an upload facility where various groups could send a document that the site would automatically read and then display on the designated groups webpage.

The site can be found here bosombuddies

Here are some screen grabs:

GTOUK Membership cards

I have been a member of the GTOUK club for a few years now. And from time to time submitted pieces of artwork I thought they would be interested in.

This year I was approached to look at a redesign of the membership card, wanting to make it special since the Mitsubishi GTO first roled off the production line 20years ago. I had already a few illustrations that I had done of my own car, but they wanted a standard looking car for the car, so a few hours later a standard spoiler and wheels were introduced and the design approved.

You can see what the club is all about here: GTOUK

And here's the final layout:

New Company - Hughes Coaching

Luke Hughes of Hughes Coaching approached me to look at brand identity and web design. And this is what we came up with - Link to site!

What Box?

The design process worked backwards slightly on this one, as the client had already designed his website etc. What was required from me was a design concept of a box that would be used within his business.

His website My What Box?

Here's what we did:

Carpet Knight - Logo design

Approached by a friend to design a logo/stationery for her husband's new company.

They gave me the name of 'Carpet Knight' to work with. With some thought I decided to go with comical design, which at first made the client wonder where I was going with it, but after seeing the design, and asking friends and family it was a great hit.

Honda - Desk Sign

Was approached by a local sign company to come up with a new design for the service and reception desk within the Honda showrooms, below is the result, it had to be easy to manufacture, easy to post to site and be able to be assembled by on-site staff.

It's starting to pick up!!!

For the past year, work has been slow, but we seem to have put that behind us now. With plenty of contacts and promises of work it seems that 2010 has started how we hope the rest of the year will continue.

Spent some time last week with a few old contacts, and have already been able to help them with their business, and looking forward to more work.

Seems like websites are on the menu, with quite a few enquiries for new sites to be designed. Looks like people want to get noticed.

Thanks for the support!!

It's a New Year for Designwise
