Following our previous work with Arjent, we were invited to create two further pieces of literature for this leading-edge financial services operation.

Ebw occupy a prestigious warehouse studio in Shad Thames. They wanted to ‘stand out’, but also ‘blend in’. Some illustrations hanging on the wall of their office led the signage solution, a ‘see-through’ wrought iron caricature style hanging sign.

We used signatures, which also emphasized the personal touch the firm prides itself on offering. No longer live.

No longer live.  

The Big Chalet Company came to us with a challenge – to add an extra, dimension to the traditional concept of an Alpine chalet.

It began with the design of the logo, which features a glass of wine with the liquid level set at the jaunty angle of a challenging Alpine ski slope. No longer live.

Our solution links the ship into the main Delaforce logotype and introduces a new emphasis on the name of George Delaforce, forgotten in the previous labels. His signature now becomes a distinctive embossing on every bottle, so as to create a powerful token of brand heritage.  

Woolley Grange is one man’s very personal vision of the kind of hotel that a well-heeled family would want to visit for a weekend in the country. The brochure we created for him is just a single sheet, decorated with images in an informal scrapbook style and written and signed as a personal message from the client. What was conceived as a cost-effective solution for the initial launching of the venture is, after some years of very successful business, still the brochure that the hotel uses.

One of the jewels in the Chivas Brothers Scotch whisky portfolio is The Glenlivet and its famous distillery, the first Highland distillery to be granted a licence in 1824.

Rubber stamps, designed to underline the company philosophy, are then stamped onto each stationery item by hand, allowing the client to personalise each letter. No longer live.
