Viking Assurance: Your partner in building a safe, efficient & effective business

Viking Assurance

Viking were looking for a logo refresh and help developing a more cohesive brand identity (colours, fonts, graphics). Any identity project starts with working with the client to clarify the idea, the vision, the mission. The why, how and what you might say. 

Viking Assurance wanted to emphasise partnering with organisations and revealing to them the inner workings of their business to make sure they are safe, efficient and effective.

It’s been great helping Viking understand and clarify what they offer, update their logo, create a positioning line, and choose a fonts, colours, graphics and images to use across their marketing. I also supplied an identity style sheet which not only gives a snapshot of what they will look like visually, but is also a great reference to develop marketing materials from in a consistent and memorable manner.

Need help updating your logo and brand identity?

This project was created as part of the Logo Refresh & Brand Identity Package. Ideal for organisations who have expanded and need to update their logo and identity to fully reflect where they are as a business.

Happy Horse Bedding. Everyone's happy

Happy Horse Bedding: Creative Brief outline

Any identity project starts with working with the client to clarify the idea, the vision, the mission. The why, how and what you might say. 

As well as the health and comfort of their client’s horses, Happy Horse Bedding are considering the environment too with a carbon neutral product that’s crafted for comfort. Now everyone can afford to have a happy horse…

Happy Horse Bedding know their customers really care. Both for their horses and the planet. Their main USP’s were their carbon neutrality and the nature of the size of their ‘crafted’ shavings being easier to handle and more absorbent. Heritage with a modern twist you might say. The premium looking hand crafted logo reflects this, as well as their history as a family run business in the heart of rural North Wales. The pink bags are a flash of modern confidence that have been a big hit with their discerning customers! Indeed a quality product, with great credentials that leaves you happy!

 

Good for the planet, good for your horse, good for business. I’ll sleep well tonight knowing all that.

Rich created a great identity for my website DreamSpace Creative. The logo is striking; a 3 dimensional letter ‘D’ with a doorway, encapsulating the idea of a creative space accessible to all. Rich really listened to the brief for the project and created a design that exactly matched the idea of creating space for music, art and creativity in all its forms. The striking yellow and blue colours, and the easy to navigate features, have made the website a joy to use. Thank you Rich
