DWA Ecology Logo Design

DWA Ecology Logo Design
Creating a logos we have to get a real understanding of the people behind the logo and how the logo needs to work the the business. DWA Ecology logo design was no different, We had David over and got to know him and all about the company. Wanting for identify all the divisions and ecological areas DWA were active in, a multi icon logo was the main focus for the initial concepts. From the meeting the style of th existing log as given as a starting point. Running with this, a line based design in a boarded icon was the route we went down.

Providing both ecological and arboricultural consultancy specialising in surveys for protected species in relation to planning and development, including bats, badgers, great crested newts, reptiles and birds as well as flora and fauna it was difficult to nail to down to just three, so we extended with concepts to five icons. Switching from lined icons to solid to allow the logo design to work in smaller places it would be used

Not knowing our pipstril from our fruit bats a number of bats designs came and went, managing to avoid the BATMAN logo entirely we did fly close the the Smirnoff logo, not helped by the fact we had it in a red icon. After a few more meetings with David it became clear the badger icon and colouring was a stand out favourite so concentrating on that a final version of the logo and all its variations were created and can now be seen across all the DWA branding.

All the brand development for all the other logos will not go to waste and will be division retailed along with their colours for reports and areas of the website.

Norwich Smokehouse Takeaway Brand

Norwich Smokehouse

Continuing our design services for the owner of Award Winning Take Thai we were pleased to be asked to come up with the branding for Andy’s new venture… A smokehouse takeaway called Norwich Smokehouse

Its all about the brand

Andy was after a strong and simple logo design which could developed to allow for expansion in the future. With no avatar or imagery and simple colour scheme of black, white and vibrant orange for the logo, clean text based concepts were designed trying a few font variations. With a couple of logo candidates in the bag, mock-ups of signage on the new premises proved the logo would stand out to passing traffic. While we were at it Andy had us try out different styles and colour schemes for the shop exterior. This proved that less is defiantly more allowing the sticking orange of the logo to do all the talking.

Inside and Out Design

With a clean canvas and a massive shop space for the new takeaway Andy had big plans to modify the interior to suit his needs better. So it was off to the shop to get a few photos and get an idea of what could be done to the space. With time against us instead of measuring up and creating a 3D environment Andy sat with us as we build up walls and themed up the shop area to reflect the nature of the food he’s be selling.

Normal service had been resumed

With a stop gap menu used for a soft launch we were back on the case producing the menu for Andy. With a lot more space to play with we had a bit of fun with the initial designs incorporating with wood theme used in the shop . This spread in the social media content. New menu animations were used to showcase new dishes and tweaks to the launch dishes.

 

 

Off site support

 

Expanding the services we supply to Andy we’ve now added EPOS programming. The system Norwich Smokehouse have gone for is powerful but not the easiest to populate so we stepped up to the plate (forgive the pun) and took on the editing and additions to the growing menu. When the restaurant was getting ready to open, doors were open and all the trades were in and out so it wasn’t the warmest work places. So harnessing the power of remote access through TeamViewer we could make all the changes we needed in the comfort and warmth of our studio.

Trott Rentals New Logo

Trott Rental New Logo Design

Having produced logos for Chris of Trott Rentals in the past we were proud as punch when he approached us to design the new Trott Rentals logo ahead on their 30th anniversary. We are always excited to work on projects with little to no guidelines, and this was no exception. With such a big milestone coming up for Trott Rentals we were honoured to have been chosen to design the logo and be trusted to design it without a specification, the only thing Chris asked us to keep the same were the original colours, other than that we had free rein on the logo revival. After a lot of drafts we finally came to the conclusion that we needed a more modern logo to fit in with the age of technology and the ever increasing modernisation of vehicles. We are looking forward to seeing our artwork out on the road!Continue reading

Sprowston Town Council Logo

Sprowston Town Council Logo Design (1)

Cog Media were chosen to design the new logo Sprowston Parish Council when it was upgraded to Sprowston Town Council. Drawing on Sprowstons heritage and landmarks old and new our concepts included the old windmill used in many links to the town as well as Sprowston Manor and its cricketing links with Falcon. The final design chosen was a clean logo incorporating with windmill. We’ve also designed the logo for the soon to be opened Sprowston Diamond Centre.
