Brand Bibles
Your brand is leaking
Nobody notices it happening. Everybody notices the result.
Five suppliers, five reds
The pack printer, the signage guy, the social media manager, the web dev and the promo shop are all working off a different file.
The logo gets squashed
Stretched on a wobbler, recoloured on a shelf-strip, redrawn from a JPEG someone found in an email.
Every brief starts from zero
New marketing manager arrives, reinvents the look, and eighteen months of equity resets.
Onboarding eats your budget
Weeks of back-and-forth teaching each new partner what the brand is, billed by the hour.
Ten sections, one rulebook
The structure we build to. Scope flexes to what your brand actually touches.
01
Foundation
Positioning, and the three adjectives every later decision gets tested against.
02
Logo and mark
Clear space, backgrounds, minimum size, and an explicit do not list.
03
Colour
Primary ratio, supporting tones, functional colours, hex for screen and press.
04
Typography
Display, body and data faces. Case discipline. Licensing and fallbacks.
05
Iconography
One line family, one stroke weight, one grid. When the accent is allowed.
06
Graphic kit
The motif, brackets, stat blocks, CTA states, corner radius.
07
Imagery
Subject matter, treatment, and what never to put in front of a camera.
08
Artwork showcase
Stationery, banners, social. The system actually applied, not described.
09
Voice
Before-and-after rewrites, not a list of adjectives.
10
Applications
Website hero, deck, social post, email signature, trust panel.

About Us
Who we are
Creative & strategic advertising specialists
Behind every successful campaign is a great concept backed by great visuals. Our team of design gurus are masters of their own graphic universe with skill sets ranging from photoshop through to rendering and everything else in between.
A pretty picture is one thing, however where and how you display the pretty picture is quite another. We are great believers in making use of all the media platforms available to us, and unlike some not necessarily all at the same time! We cut our teeth on print, fine-tuned our hearing with radio and made use of our 20/20 with TV, but the new millennium saw the rise of digital media and we are firmly aboard that rocket ship. We have all the bases covered.
