The Caves

troup — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:50:13 +0000

The Caves is a unique private hire venue built into the sub-structure of the 18th century South Bridge in Edinburgh. They came to us because they wanted a slick new brochure that promotes this unusual venue’s various services. First, they asked for a brochure that they could offer for download or email to prospective clients. We decided that this venue was so beautiful that it should be the centrepiece of the design, and used a professional photographer to capture the atmosphere there. We also provided a similar brochure for The Rowantree, a partner venue that is linked to The Caves but provides slightly different services. The gallery below shows the brochure for The Caves.

In order to ensure The Caves could best communicate their brand effectively, we also updated their logo and have been asked to produce a full set of marketing materials for the venue’s many other offerings. To find out more about The Caves, visit their website at http://www.thecavesedinburgh.com/

Local Aberdonian illustrator and artist Graham MacLennan came to use seeking a clean portfolio to present his 34 years+ experience in the field. For this we provided Graham with a functional website design that kept the focus on his work.

One of Graham's many professional pieces

Graham’s website package consisted of domain registration and hosting, content management system installation, design and customisation of website to Graham’s requirements, slider galleries, user comments and maintenance as well as additional pieces such as customised graphics and a logo. You can see Graham’s portfolio for yourself, at http://www.grahammaclennan.co.uk

Artisan Cider

One of our early designs that we produced for Artisan Cider, an ambitious new cider label that the owners currently have set aside. Nonetheless, we thought we would share a small example of the development of a work in progress. The project was shelved so early that we had only just begun on a label and some marketing/branding concepts, check it out below.

LeMe Laundry

‘LeMe’ (Let Me) take care of that for you, says Jody, the entrepreneur behind this interesting concept that serves to meet a far reaching dispersion of needs for its customers. First off, Jody has recently opened his laundrette in West Maitland Street, which has survived the dreaded tram works plaguing local businesses.

However, we understood that avoiding damage from the works was not an easy task, so we provided Jody with some bright and colourful banners and flyers to grab as much attention as possible for a modest fee. Jody is a bit of an eccentric entrepreneur, and he has came up with lots of additional ideas, including Foorier, a food courier service (Jody likes to squash words together if you haven’t noticed) that uses a network of takeaways to provide customers with the exact meal they want under one roof, with the easy of online ordering. We are currently working on building this together with Jody.

Take a look at the flyer we produced for Jody in 24 hours, as part of our rapid response service.

Out of the Ordinary Design or Ooto Design is our brand new little baby and it has been through a turbulent growing up process. Below I have listed a variety of logo designs that we have gone through in search of that perfect something which truly resembles everything we are about. Have a look below and leave a comment with your take on them or your own ideas.

During the 'scream it from the rooftops' stage

One of the originals, plain and simple - but maybe too plain?

Interconnected and 3D

Are skulls still cool?

Does it look like "OOTO" or more like a child's drawing of a bus?

I have been learning about displacement maps today and been working on creating some cool 3D images from old photos in the archive. Here is my first attempt, try it with a pair of 3D glasses (the cardboard ones with a red eye and a blue eye).
