This week I did some stickers for the new planters in Duns Square for Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous. KDBM are a gardening group who maintain all the public plant beds in Duns. The Duns logo is already on the older planters, so this is to match in with the rest.
I recently designed a logo and business cards for Swinton Exterior Cleaning, based in the village of Swinton, Berwickshire. This company does all kinds of exterior cleaning. The client was happy with the final design.
I notice that Tetley have changed their logo and updated their packaging. The tea brand have changed their logo ever so slightly. They have, in my opinion, softened the look by joining the "etl" within the logotype. This curvy approach is more informal and has a friendlier look and feel. Also, their packaging is now all card, which is a big plus for recycling.
I recently designed this logo for Bryneich Coppice Management. My client asked for a tree illustration like the tree of life, so I designed something that was based on that idea. It was an enjoyable project to work on and my client was happy with the end result.
The new logo and branding for NS&I is, in my opinion, perhaps too simplistic. Their previous logo, which included the chestnut icon, was a photographic image and therefore it may be too detailed for some applications. But personally I think they have gone too far in the other direction. Now their logo has no icon and is purely just text based. NS&I are a government backed savings organisation and if you save with them, your money is 100% guaranteed. I think their new logo is too informal.
So you are wanting to copy or trace a logo that you got off the internet? Chances are that image is copyrighted and no can do. If you are setting up a new company and need a logo designed, just click on the link at the side of this page for Watson Consultancy, go to the contacts page and send me an email. I can get you a quote pretty quickly and do you a design that is not just lifted off the internet.
You may be getting signs made with your logo on them, or getting clothing, pens, hats or mugs and the supplier has asked for your logo in vector format. Vector format is a type of file that has been created in line art software like Adobe Illustrator. It enables files like logos to be scaled up to any size without losing their sharpness. However, you may only have your company logo in bitmap format, which are TIFF, jpg and png type files.
My advice is to go back to who originally created your logo and get the designer to supply it as a vector format. It is not advisable to recreate or trace the logo as a vector format.
If you do need a new logo designed, I am happy to give you a quotation. Just click on the Watson Consultancy link at the side of this blog and check out my website and contact me through the email reply form.
I recently designed a logo for TDM Electrical Engineering Ltd. This was a good project and the client was happy with the final result. I did a few concepts to chose from, but I did very little amends to the final design so everything was straight forward. I also created a digital letterhead for this client.
I just took delivery of some branded polo shirts I had embroidered with my logo on. I am very happy with them and I think they are cool.
I designed this logo for The Scarf Company about 18 years ago and it is good to see they are still using it. The Scarf Company are based in Hawick in the Scottish Borders and I was asked to come up with a design that could also be used as a clothing label. So this is what was agreed. The Scarf Company sell their scarves all over the UK and abroad. They make lambs wool and cashmere scarves, gloves and hats. They have quite a large range of styles.
This week I designed a logo for B. D. Kenyon Gardening Services of Chichester. I designed 5 options for the client to chose from and they went with one of them. With a few amendments a logo design was finalised. This was an enjoyable project to work on.

Last year I designed the shop front for a local barber client of mine. Roosters Barbers in Kelso have given me a fair amount of design work recently. They already had a logo, so I adapted it for use on a window and signage along the top.
I recently designed this logo for a builders company in Yorkshire. I also did letterheads and business cards. The client was very easy to deal with and agreed a design quickly.
Following on from the logo that I did last week for The Computer Person, this week I designed an illustration for the same client. It was quite easy to do and the client liked it straight away.
This week I have designed a fitness diary for a client in Liverpool and I also designed a logo for an IT company based in London. The Computer Person is a new startup company offering IT support online and in person and they also offer IT infrastructure and education all over the World. My design brief was quite straightforward and I was able to take on board the clients feedback after my first drafts were submitted. I then make a few amendments until a final design was agreed. It was a good project to work on.
This week I designed a quick logo for a marketing guy called Stephen Kenaghan. He is based in Hampshire. He wanted something straightforward and simple, so I went for the hand shake design. I also did business cards, compliment slips and note pads.
