PHd Design and Bateman’s Brewery Unveil a Visionary Rebranding Journey

Our Work • 17th January 2024

Greetings, design enthusiasts and beer aficionados! Today, we’re thrilled to uncork the story behind a remarkable collaboration that has been fermenting behind the scenes. PHd Design, the maestros of visual storytelling, teamed up with the illustrious Bateman’s Brewery to concoct a brand update that’s as timeless as the brewery’s 150-year-old legacy.

A Sip of History

Bateman’s Brewery, with roots stretching back to 1874, has weathered the storms of two world wars and witnessed five generations of the Bateman family. As the proud custodians of a brewing tradition that spans 150 years, Bateman’s embarked on a journey to refresh its visual identity, ensuring it resonated with the past while boldly embracing the future.

PHd Design: Crafting Visual Alchemy

Enter PHd Design, the artistic wizards from Staffordshire, handpicked by Bateman’s to breathe new life into their iconic brand. Imagine a meeting of minds, where tradition dances with innovation, and craftsmanship meets creativity. Stuart and Jaclyn Bateman, the curators of Bateman’s Brewery, joined forces with PHd to create a brand scheme that not only pays homage to the craft brewing traditions but also positions the brewery for the next hop-forward phase.

Unveiling the Artistry

The heart of this collaboration lies in the unveiling of Bateman’s new branding scheme, set to grace the pubs and glasses of beer enthusiasts nationwide. Roll up, roll up for the star of the show – the revamped pump clips! These miniature works of art, the face of Bateman’s products, will soon adorn pubs, signalling the perfect blend of heritage and modernity.

Meet the Heroes: XB, XXXB, Yella Belly Gold, and 5G

The brewery’s key players, XB, XXXB, Yella Belly Gold, and the all-new 5G, each donned a fresh coat of identity. The Bateman family’s 5th generation is celebrated with ‘5G,’ a beer born of tradition and innovation, just like the family behind it. With two versions for guest appearances and permanent stocking, these clips aren’t just labels; they’re stories waiting to be unfolded.

Brewing Tradition, Branding the Future: Stuart Bateman on Reimagining a Legacy

Stuart Bateman, the maestro behind the brewing magic, emphasises the importance of working with the right designers. He states, “We needed to ensure we work with designers who had experience in the brewery industry and came at the project with the right attitude to working with an independent family business.” PHd Design not only met but exceeded those expectations, infusing the project with passion and expertise.

As the curtain rises on this collaborative masterpiece, we invite you to raise your glasses to Bateman’s Brewery and PHd Design. Witness the marriage of tradition and innovation, as history is poured into every drop of Bateman’s handcrafted beers. To all fellow design enthusiasts, business owners, and anyone with an eye for excellence, we extend an invitation to connect with PHd Design. Let us be the architects of your brand’s next great story.

Unleashing Growth and Tax Savings with Smart Design Investments

Industry News • 9th January 2024

If you’ve visited our blog before, you already know that order to stay ahead of the competition, you need more than just a great service or product. You need a compelling brand identity and impactful design to make your mark…

But here’s an exiting twist – did you know that investing in great design can actually save your business money? That’s right, graphic design expenses can be deducted from your company’s taxable profits, which in turn reduces your corporation tax bill.

Tax Savings through Design

The tax implications of design investments are often overlooked, but the basic principle is simple: design expenses can be claimed as business deductions. Deducting these expenses lowers your taxable profit, meaning you pay less corporation tax. Eligible expenses fall under a range of projects such as website development, brochures, logo design, and many more.

Consider a brand refresh campaign, packaging design for a new product line, or redesigning marketing materials – all of which qualify as tax-deductible expenses. Just be sure that the expenses are wholly and exclusively for business purposes, and that you have the proper invoices and receipts to prove the expenses.

Beyond Tax Savings: Design as a Growth Engine

The benefit of great design goes much further than just saving on tax. So, let’s shift our focus from immediate tax benefits to the long-term growth potential of effective design. Professional design goes beyond aesthetics; it can be a powerful tool to drive business growth.

Improve Brand Recognition and Market Share: Impactful visuals and consistent branding attract and retain customers, solidifying your position in the market.

Boost Marketing ROI: Effective design leads to higher conversion rates and better campaign performance, ultimately improving your return on investment.

Increase Employee Engagement and Productivity: A well-designed work environment and brand identity motivate employees, fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Enhance Customer Experience and Loyalty: Design plays a crucial role in building positive customer relationships, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty.

Design investments are a double-edged sword, capable of not only saving on taxes but also unlocking significant growth potential. It’s time to view design as a strategic investment rather than just an expense. As we move closer to the end of the tax year, why not take some time to consider the transformative power of design for your business?

Smart Design Investment with PHd Design

At PHd Design, we understand the integral role that exceptional graphic design plays in shaping your brand’s narrative. As your dedicated design partner, we are committed to transforming your vision into captivating visuals that not only reduce your corporate tax bill but also lay the foundation for unparalleled business growth. Elevate your brand with our expertise – let’s embark on a journey together to create designs that resonate and make a lasting impact.
