Throwback to one of our most exciting projects from the past few months - the ‘Kirkwood Times’ 📰
Inspired by traditional newspapers, Kirkwood wanted to commemorate the opening of its first ever showhome village in Blackdog, Aberdeenshire. Throughout the design process, we aimed to perfectly blend the feel of a newspaper with the luxurious quality of its brand, and we couldn’t be happier with the final look! 🙌

We helped Plant Integrity Management stand out at the OGV Energy Recruitment Fare! 💼
PIM was looking for a bespoke and creative handout to apply its branded artwork to in time for this event, ensuring it stood out from other stallholders.
After we put forward several ideas that we felt aligned with PIM`s brand, its team opted for branded note-pads, information leaflets and bespoke packaging leading to a sleek, professional suite of products for PIM to hand out to attendees of the fare.

Duncan and Todd`s lens manufacturing laboratory, Caledonian Optical, needed help revamping its exhibition stand for an upcoming event - here’s how we did this with sustainability in mind! ♻️
We up-cycled a wooden cabinet by disassembling it in our factory before applying a high-quality vinyl wrap with a protective matt finish. Once rebuilt, the customer received a professional, eye-catching product for the event which can then be used in its office afterwards! ✅

We recently worked with the team at @macphieuk to deliver this neat safety signage! Displaying the number of days since a ‘lost-time accident’, we first got to grips with the look and feel of this client so we could effectively produce something that’s very much on brand.
The finished product stands out with the brand’s bold colours and by supplying interchangeable durable number cards, Macphie Ltd will easily be able to maintain this important tracker. ✅
We thoroughly enjoyed working on this design. Visit the link in our bio to see how we can level up your brand! 🔗

As the exhibition calendar begins to ramp up across all industries, we wanted to create a solution that made designing your stand simple and easy, yet extremely eye catching and unique. To do this, we’ve engineered a bespoke fixing solution that allows a wall-based Tension Fabric System (TFS) to be fitted seamlessly to a shell scheme, providing a stunning frameless appearance, with continuous fabric graphic print.
With interchangeable graphics and a design that is easy for clients to fit themselves, it`s no wonder we`ve had strong interest in this solution already!

We’ve just completed a project with decommissioning expert Well-Safe Solutions to visually enhance protective casing for its asset model.
Using premium vinyl for the logo and company colours, the new display elevates its brand identity while not distracting from the model itself, showing off the intricacies and technical spec of its product and operations.
To finish off the project, we added a plaque inside the casing, ensuring Well-Safe’s visitors and clients can discover information on the model while passing by.

A rebrand for Scottish Adventure Club!
Looking for something that represented its activity, we delivered a logo that encompassed ideas of exploring, experiences and being surrounded by nature. Using a colour palette that aligns with the outdoors, the new logo is vibrant and distinguishable.
Following brand completion, we also added vehicle livery to the committee’s van and strategically placed the logo to ensure maximum brand awareness 👌
Check out our video to see the journey to the new brand, and how we’ve presented it across must have items for keen adventurers 🗺
