A Fresh, Clean Start for Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies

Our Work 28th March 2025

Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies logo in full colour, representing a modern and professional brand identity.

When Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies came to us, they wanted more than just a fresh coat of paint – they needed a total brand overhaul. From a revamped logo to sleek new packaging, a fully reimagined website, and eye-catching van fleet livery, they were after a design that matched their business ambition.

The challenge? Making cleaning supplies look as clean and professional as the services they offer, while ensuring the brand stood out in a competitive market. Here’s how we rolled up our sleeves and created a design identity that shines.

 

Branding with Purpose: The M and W Logo

Let’s talk logos. The logo is often the first touchpoint of a brand, and it needed to be bold yet functional. Our starting point was a clean and simple design that represented both the “M” and “W” in Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies. We wanted it to be instantly recognisable, and we achieved this by cleverly weaving the two letters together into one dynamic shape – it’s both a mark of distinction and a clever visual cue that ties back to the company’s name.

We didn’t just stop there. The logo’s design needed to be versatile, looking sharp on everything from a business card to a fleet of vans, packaging, and digital platforms. Mission accomplished.

Packaging Design that Pops (and Gets Noticed)

Let’s face it – the cleaning supply market can be a bit, well, uninspiring. So, we took this opportunity to break away from the norm and introduce a packaging design that’s not only functional but also stylish and engaging. The goal was to make each product as appealing as it is practical, ensuring that customers could identify the products quickly, even from a distance. We used bold typography, sharp graphics, and a consistent colour palette that ties back to the brand’s new identity.

But there’s more to packaging than just looking good. It’s about telling a story – and with each box, bottle, or label, we made sure the brand’s reliability and professionalism were at the forefront. Clean, clear, and simple. Just like the products themselves.

A Website that Works as Hard as They Do

Next, we tackled the Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies website. The company needed an online presence that reflected the quality of service they provide while offering users a seamless experience. We designed a website that’s as easy to navigate as it is visually appealing, using the newly revamped branding elements throughout.

We incorporated intuitive features such as easy-to-find product categories, clear calls-to-action, and a responsive design that works smoothly on mobile and desktop. But most importantly, we made sure the website felt professional, trustworthy, and modern – because when people are choosing a cleaning supply company, they want to know they’re working with the best.

Van Fleet Livery: Clean on the Road

When Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies’ vans hit the road, we wanted them to be just as eye-catching as the new branding. With the same bold and clean design elements, the fleet now stands out wherever they go. From company signage to van livery, the brand’s identity is front and centre, reinforcing the professional image Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies has worked hard to build. It’s all about making a lasting impression, even when they’re on the move.

Signage and Literature: The Finishing Touches

From office signage to brochures, we ensured that every physical touchpoint reflected the brand’s new identity. Clear, concise, and professional, the signage now serves as an effective way of introducing customers to Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies. And when it comes to their literature, we gave it a sleek, polished look that communicates both reliability and expertise.

The Result? A Clean Breakthrough.

What started as a desire to refresh their image ended up transforming Mid-Warwickshire Cleaning Supplies into a brand that stands out in the market for all the right reasons. With a comprehensive brand overhaul that included a new logo, packaging, website, van livery, and more, we’ve helped elevate their professional image to match the exceptional service they provide.

So, if you’re looking to refresh your own brand or need help making your products stand out, we’d love to help. Whether it’s a full brand revamp or a small design tweak, we know how to deliver impactful design solutions that resonate with customers.

And hey, if we can make cleaning supplies look this good, imagine what we can do for you.

How We Helped Russou To Stand Out From The Crowd

Our Work 7th March 2025

Russou marketing brochure designed by PHd Design, featuring fresh branding and a modern layout.

When Russou, a property services consultancy specialising in tech solutions, sought to relaunch their brand ahead of a key industry event, they knew a fresh, standout identity was essential. With their competitors also vying for attention, they needed a bold rebrand to ensure they made an impact. That’s where we came in—tasked with creating a design that would help them not only compete but stand out with confidence.

 

Understanding the Brief

Russou’s goal was clear: they wanted to relaunch their brand in a way that would not only resonate with their target audience but also reflect the cutting-edge services they provide. With a major industry event on the horizon, they knew they had to get their branding just right—no second chances for first impressions!

We were tasked with creating a logo that would immediately convey professionalism, innovation, and approachability, while helping them compete in a crowded field. Along with the logo, Russou needed a temporary holding page for their website, printed materials, business cards, exhibition stands, and pull-up banners—all of which would make a big impact at the event.

The Design Process: From Ideas to Impact

To start, we got to know Russou’s core values and vision. We understood that this rebrand wasn’t just about creating something that looked good; it was about positioning them as a forward-thinking, professional business in an ever-evolving industry.

With the client’s brief in mind, we crafted a sleek and modern logo that paired a bold, distinctive ‘R’ with the company name and descriptor, Russou Services Group. The choice of colours—dark blue and an inviting teal—helped to convey trustworthiness, professionalism, and innovation. This wasn’t just a logo; it was the face of a new era for Russou, one that they could proudly showcase at the event.

From there, we designed a range of supporting materials. The temporary holding page provided visitors with a polished first glance at Russou’s new look, while the printed materials—business cards, brochures, and exhibition stands—ensured their brand would have maximum visibility at the event. Those pull-up banners? They were designed to be unmissable, providing impactful, clear messaging that highlighted Russou’s tech-savvy approach to property services.

Event Day: A Winning Relaunch

The event itself was a huge success. With competitors presenting their best, Russou’s fresh branding stood out like a beacon, thanks to the clean, modern aesthetic we had developed together. The new logo, paired with the exhibition materials and business cards, gave their brand a cohesive, professional presence that resonated with everyone who interacted with it.

The owner of Russou couldn’t have been happier with the results, and feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. The striking new look and consistent messaging made an immediate impact, positioning Russou as a forward-thinking, innovative business that is ready to lead in its field.

How We Helped St James’s Place Charitable Foundation Launch the ‘Children of Courage’ Awards

Our Work 21st February 2025

Official logo for the Children of Courage Awards, designed for St James’s Place Charitable Foundation.

At PHd Design, we’ve always believed in the power of great design to tell important stories. So, when St James’s Place Charitable Foundation approached us to create the brand for their inaugural ‘Children of Courage’ awards, we were thrilled to help bring their vision to life. After all, it’s not every day you get to work on a project that celebrates the bravery and resilience of kids aged 6 to 18 in Birmingham.

 

The Challenge: Starting from Scratch

The Foundation wanted a brand that encapsulated the spirit of the awards: celebration, inspiration, and above all, heart. They needed everything from a standout logo to event materials and digital assets. The goal? To create a cohesive look and feel that would elevate the event and reflect the incredible stories of the young awardees. Oh, and no pressure—it all had to be ready for the big launch in 2025.

The Solution: A Brand Built with Heart

We kicked off the project with our usual approach: lots of coffee and a good old-fashioned brainstorm. Our aim was to craft a brand that felt dynamic, uplifting, and timeless. The logo became the heart of the brand, quite literally. We designed a visual identity that combined a bold typeface with a vibrant, abstract heart motif. It’s playful yet professional, symbolising the courage and spirit of the children being celebrated.

For the event materials, we ensured every piece was cohesive and visually engaging. The event programme was designed to be as inspiring as the awardees themselves, with clean layouts and a pop of colour to guide the reader. Navigating an event should never be a chore, so our signage and table plans made it easy for guests to find their way while staying immersed in the awards’ vibrant theme.

We also created branded PowerPoint slides for the ceremony, a website to showcase the winners, and social media assets to build excitement in the lead-up to the event. Every element worked together to ensure the event had a professional polish while keeping the stories of the awardees at the forefront.

The Impact: Bringing Courage to the Forefront

The result was a brand that not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations. The cohesive look and feel brought a professional polish to the event while ensuring the stories of the awardees took centre stage. Feedback from the Foundation has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re excited to see the impact the ‘Children of Courage’ awards will have in the years to come.

Why It Matters

We believe design isn’t just about making things look good; it’s about making them work. For the ‘Children of Courage’ awards, that meant creating a brand that inspires and connects—whether it’s a child receiving their certificate or a guest scrolling through the event website.

Tile Rite’s Outdoor Range Gets a Fresh Green Glow

Our Work 6th February 2025

Packaging mockup showcasing Tile Rite’s new outdoor range with vibrant green branding

Our team love nothing more than rolling up our sleeves, digging into a creative challenge, and unearthing solutions that help our clients shine. When Tile Rite, a longstanding client and one of our most vocal cheerleaders, approached us to craft a new sub-brand for their upcoming outdoor range, we jumped at the opportunity.

 

The Brief: Standing Out While Staying On-Brand

Tile Rite’s request was clear: their new range, featuring products like patio sealers and rust-off spray cleaners, needed to step boldly into the great outdoors. To achieve this, they sought packaging and branding that would not only highlight the rugged, nature-focused qualities of the range but also distinguish it from their existing product lines.

Our starting point? A colour refresh. Tile Rite’s signature blue branding has been a trusty companion for years, but this new venture required a palette that whispered “nature” while still screaming “Tile Rite.” The solution? A vibrant green, symbolising growth, vitality, and outdoor living.

The Solution: Packaging That Pops

We didn’t just add a dash of green and call it a day. Our design process involved:

 1.Strategic Colour Selection: Green became the hero colour, representing the outdoor range. It stands apart from Tile Rite’s other products on the shelf without losing the cohesive visual identity.

2. Iconic Branding Elements: The Tile Rite logo remains front and centre, but we paired it with bold, modern typography and an earthy aesthetic to reinforce the range’s outdoor focus.

3.User-Friendly Design: Each product label features clear, easy-to-read instructions, ensuring both DIY enthusiasts and professional users get the most out of the products.

 

Why This Matters

This isn’t just a new sub-brand; it’s a statement. Tile Rite’s outdoor range appeals to customers in a saturated market by balancing trustworthiness with a fresh, innovative edge. By partnering with PHd Design, they’ve achieved a brand evolution that aligns with their growth while staying true to their roots.

Want To Break Ground On Your Brand?

If you’re ready to dig into new territory and elevate your brand, we’d love to hear from you. At PHd Design, we combine creativity with strategy to design solutions that are as effective as they are beautiful.

Let’s build something remarkable together.

MAKES*IT Shine: A Bold New Sub-Brand for Concentrates Direct

Our Work 24th January 2025

Feature image of MAKES*IT Shine industrial cleaning solution packaging, designed by PHd Design.

When Concentrates Direct came to us with an exciting brief for their latest venture, we knew it was an opportunity to create something unapologetically bold. They wanted a sub-brand for their new range of industrial-grade cleaning solutions—products tough enough to tackle the grime that others can’t. The challenge? Craft a brand that stands out in a crowded market while showcasing the product’s powerful performance. The result? MAKES*IT Shine.

 

A Name with a Wink and a Nod

Let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather, the subtle, cheeky one-liner in the name. MAKES*IT Shine is a clever play on words that delivers just enough edge to get noticed. Pronounced as “Makes it shine,” it nods to the product’s incredible cleaning power. But the playful typography nearly spells out something more risqué—perfectly balancing professionalism with a bit of personality. This isn’t your typical industrial cleaner; it’s a brand with attitude.

Packaging that Packs a Punch

To match the audacious name, we designed packaging that demands attention. Each label is bold and clean (pun intended), with a high-contrast colour palette that ensures visibility on shelves and in industrial environments. The design communicates durability and quality without clutter, ensuring customers know they’re investing in products that deliver results.
From the typography to the materials used, we considered every detail. The design needed to reflect both the strength of the solution and the wit of the brand. Think practical functionality meets visual appeal, because even industrial cleaning products deserve a bit of style.

 

A Growing Range, A Growing Vision

Our work doesn’t stop here. As Concentrates Direct extends the MAKES*IT Shine range in the coming months, we’ll continue to collaborate with them to design packaging that aligns with the brand’s unique voice and growing product line. Every new product is an opportunity to reinforce the brand’s bold identity while addressing practical needs for its industrial clientele.

Why It Works

The success of this project lies in understanding both the product and the people who’ll use it. MAKES*IT Shine isn’t just a cleaning solution; it’s a promise of no-nonsense, get-the-job-done results. By injecting a bit of humour and personality into the brand, we’ve created something relatable, memorable, and effective.

At PHd Design, we’re all about making your brand unforgettable—whether that means turning heads with clever wordplay or delivering designs that work as hard as your products do.

 

Does Your Brand Need a Touch Of Brilliance?

We’re ready to make it shine (Or, you know, whatever else it needs to do.) Let’s get to work – contact us today.

Rebranding Tactile Technology: Crafting a Future-Focused Identity for IT Excellence

Our Work 7th January 2025

Feature image of Tactile Technology’s new 3D interlocked 'T' logo designed by PHd Design.

When Tactile Technology, a Birmingham-based IT solutions provider, approached PHd Design, they had a vision: a fresh, cohesive brand identity that spoke directly to their core mission and values. With over 55 years of combined experience in IT, Tactile Technology supports businesses with cutting-edge services like hosted telephony, data centre security, and comprehensive IT support. The challenge was to capture that expertise and make their identity as sleek, intuitive, and powerful as the solutions they provide. Challenge accepted!

 

The Brief: Strengthening a Trusted Brand

Tactile Technology sought a visual identity that would reflect their reliability, technological sophistication, and dedication to innovation. Their existing brand had served them well, but as they continued to grow and adapt to the demands of the IT landscape, they needed a look and feel that was as dynamic as their service offerings. Our mission was clear: reimagine their brand to align seamlessly with their forward-thinking ethos.

The Solution: Bold, Three-Dimensional, and Tech-Infused

Our team began by diving deep into Tactile Technology’s values, strengths, and vision for the future. We translated these qualities into a visual language that would serve as the foundation for their rebrand, from their logo to their new website.

Logo Redesign

At the heart of Tactile Technology’s new identity is a striking, interlocked 3D ‘T’ logo. This symbol is more than just a design; it’s a nod to the layers of expertise and support they bring to every client. The two ‘T’s, connected and visually interwoven, represent partnership and integration—a perfect metaphor for how Tactile Technology works seamlessly with their clients to provide tailored IT solutions.

A Website That Works as Hard as Their Team

The rebranding included an overhaul of their website. We focused on clean design, intuitive navigation, and a structure that highlights their key services: hosted telephony, data centre security, IT support, and hardware/software solutions. Each service section offers an interactive and engaging way for potential clients to explore Tactile’s offerings, with visual cues that reflect the new brand’s modern and accessible feel.

The Result: A Bold Identity that Speaks Volumes

The new branding embodies Tactile Technology’s expertise and energy, creating a look that’s as versatile as it is powerful. The fresh, streamlined website makes navigating their services a breeze, while the new logo provides an instant association with reliability and innovation. Most importantly, their identity now mirrors their role as a trusted partner in technology for businesses across the UK.

Why PHd Design?

At PHd Design, we believe that branding should be as clear-cut and intuitive as a good IT solution. No jargon, no fuss—just a straightforward, high-impact identity that resonates with clients and inspires confidence. This project with Tactile Technology allowed us to showcase how thoughtful design can elevate a brand’s perception and build connections.

Thinking of a Rebrand? Let’s Chat!

If you’re ready to align your brand with your business’s strengths, drop us a message. We’d love to help you tell your story—minus the marketing jargon.

New Moves, New Look: Rebranding Shropshire’s House Removal Experts

Our Work 26th November 2024

A side view of the new livery design for New Moves, featuring sleek branding and bold lettering on their removals truck.

When New Moves approached us at PHd Design, they were clear on one thing: they wanted their brand to feel as solid, professional, and trustworthy as the services they provide. New Moves already had a reputation for making moves—whether residential, office, or storage—a breeze for their clients. But they wanted their brand to better reflect that quality of service and reassure customers that their belongings were in safe hands.
We were more than happy to accept the challenge. Here’s how we transformed New Moves from a name in removals to a standout brand.

 

The Project Brief: A Look as Reliable as Their Service

New Moves offers comprehensive services, from packing up precious heirlooms to providing safe storage options. With such a hands-on approach to client care, their branding needed to match their professional reputation. Our mission? Create a brand that spoke to their strengths: dependability, ease, and expertise.
We started with their logo, going for a professional look with clean lines that encapsulate both reliability and sophistication. We wanted potential customers to feel an immediate sense of trust, knowing that New Moves isn’t just another removals company; they’re the people who will treat your belongings as if they were their own.

Rolling Out the Brand: From Marketing Materials to Fleet Livery

Once we nailed the logo, we expanded the brand refresh across all their materials. From sleek brochures to dynamic digital assets, we ensured that every touchpoint was unmistakably New Moves. After all, every move is an opportunity for them to make a great impression.
One of the most exciting stages of the rebrand? Bringing New Moves’ fleet to life. We designed eye-catching livery that is professional, memorable, and unmistakable on the roads of Shropshire and beyond. Now, whether New Moves is making a local run or heading cross-country, they’ll be representing their new brand with pride.

The Results: A Rebrand to Match Their Reputation

With their brand now visually aligned with the high-quality service they offer, New Moves is ready to roll. Their updated look sets them apart from competitors, and we’re confident it will help them connect with even more customers looking for a reliable, stress-free moving experience.

Is Your Brand in Need of a Move?

At PHd Design, we know that a brand is more than a logo; it’s how your customers perceive and trust you. If you’re looking to give your business a fresh look that matches your hard-earned reputation, we’d love to chat. Because when it comes to standing out, good design moves mountains—sometimes, even whole homes.

Crafting Clarity and Comfort: Our Branding Evolution for Rest Your Head

Our Work 11th November 2024

Feature image showcasing the new Rest Your Head logo designed by PHd Design for a cohesive brand identity.

When Rest Your Head, a Telford-based property management company, approached us at PHd Design, they were ready to take their branding to new heights. Known for offering serviced accommodation with a personal touch for both guests and property owners, Rest Your Head has carved out a unique place in the market. But as they grew, their brand needed to better reflect the business they’d become – professional, transparent, and perfectly tailored to their industry. Here’s how we tackled this branding evolution and helped Rest Your Head present themselves with clarity, credibility, and a bit of flair.

 

The Challenge: Honing a Brand for Both Guests and Property Owners

Rest Your Head is in a niche where they have two types of customers with very different expectations – guests, who want a comfortable and seamless stay, and property owners, who are looking for dependable and hands-off property management. The existing branding was a solid foundation, but it needed an update to convey this dual offering in a clear, cohesive way. Our goal was to make it feel like Rest Your Head could handle all aspects of property management while being approachable and customer-focused for guests.

Step One: Nailing the Brand Identity

We started by diving into Rest Your Head’s core values: hands-off management, transparency, and fair pricing. This is a company that prides itself on an easy, hassle-free experience for property owners – no hidden fees, just straightforward service. With these values as our guiding principles, we worked to create a brand identity that reflected the professionalism and integrity that Rest Your Head lives by.
To do this, we made sure each design element resonated with both property owners and potential guests. We kept the aesthetic warm and welcoming, but with a crisp, professional edge. Think of it like creating a stylish home you’d be happy to invite guests into, while still showing you’re the best host on the block.

Step Two: Adding Elements of Personality and Trust

People want to know who they’re working with. So, we added subtle, friendly touches throughout the branding that speak to Rest Your Head’s approachability. From a new, approachable logo to a fresh colour palette, every visual decision was made to communicate warmth and trust. We chose colours that convey relaxation and stability, paired with typography that’s polished but still friendly. It’s the branding equivalent of a firm handshake and a welcoming smile.

Step Three: Ensuring Consistency and Versatility Across Platforms

Next, we thought about how the brand would appear across different touchpoints. Rest Your Head’s branding needed to look sharp on business cards and their website but also be flexible enough to use in emails, signage, and even property listing platforms. Consistency here was key; whether you’re a property owner or a guest, you should get the same sense of quality and professionalism.
We also created brand guidelines to ensure that Rest Your Head’s visual identity would remain cohesive as they grow. This ensures they can carry this branding forward in every new partnership, every property listing, and every guest experience.

Final Touches: Setting Rest Your Head Up for Success

In the end, the new branding is designed to do more than just look good. It’s crafted to enhance how Rest Your Head connects with both guests and property owners. With a bold but approachable look, Rest Your Head can showcase their hands-off management style and commitment to transparency – everything their clients love about them, presented in a fresh, appealing way.

The Result: A Brand That Stands Out in Property Management

Rest Your Head’s new look aligns perfectly with their mission and audience. It’s a brand that’s as dependable as the service they provide – and that’s the kind of message that resonates with people. In an industry where trust is key, a brand that communicates professionalism and transparency can make all the difference.

Effective Brand Identity: NAE Solutions

Our Work 8th October 2024

A sleek, modern logo featuring geometric shapes, designed for NAE Solutions to enhance their brand identity.

When NAE Solutions came to us at PHd Design for a rebrand, they weren’t just after a shiny new logo. They needed a fresh identity—one that reflected their dynamic approach to business efficiency, their hands-on involvement in implementation, and their ability to balance the strategic with the operational.

 

The Brief: Two Divisions, Six Services, One Unified Brand

NAE Solutions is a company built around two core divisions, each offering three distinct services.

Our challenge? To visually bring these divisions together into a cohesive brand identity that communicated strength, unity, and the seamless integration of services.

Our solution? A series of interlocking hexagons that tessellate—because who doesn’t love a good tessellation? More importantly, this geometric design speaks to the structure of NAE’s service offering: two strong divisions, with each segment interlinked yet distinct, representing the multifaceted nature of the business. The hexagons create a sense of harmony, precision, and efficiency, all of which reflect the company’s ethos.

Designing for NAE Solutions: It’s All About Symmetry and Strategy

The hexagon design is more than just a snazzy shape. It encapsulates the structured yet flexible nature of NAE Solutions’ services. Much like the company’s founder, who is known for rolling up his sleeves and working closely with businesses, our design intertwines the separate divisions seamlessly while maintaining their individual identities. Each hexagon represents one of the six services offered across the two divisions, reinforcing the idea of interconnected yet independent units—kind of like a beehive, but with fewer bees and more business strategy.

A Logo That Works as Hard as NAE Solutions Does

The logo we created uses clean lines and bold shapes to convey NAE’s no-nonsense, results-driven approach. The tessellating hexagons form a modern, versatile symbol that can be easily adapted across various media—from business cards to digital platforms. It’s a design that mirrors the flexibility of NAE Solutions itself: strategic yet practical, sleek but strong.

And the best part? We’ve only just scratched the surface with this rebrand. A new website is coming soon, and we’re confident it will be as effective and impactful as the rest of the branding work we’ve completed.

Why Does This Matter for Your Business?

Here at PHd Design, we’re all about making complex ideas simple and accessible. Just like NAE Solutions breaks down the intricacies of business efficiency into actionable steps, we break down the branding process into something that’s easy to understand and (dare we say) enjoyable.

So, if your brand is feeling a little out of sync, or your logo isn’t quite working as hard as you are, get in touch. Whether you need a complete rebrand or just a fresh perspective, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and help your business look as sharp as it runs.

Want to see how we can help transform your brand? Let’s tessellate.

Highgate: From Blueprint to Branding

Our Work 10th September 2024

Highgate Corner branding logo, showcasing the vibrant and modern design created by PHd Design.

When Highgate Corner in Birmingham approached us at PHd Design, they had one simple request: to turn a prime piece of real estate into a development that would grab attention, make a lasting impression, and sell properties like hotcakes. We knew this was no ordinary branding project – it was about creating a visual identity that would resonate with potential buyers and breathe life into an otherwise vacant space.

 

Setting the Cornerstone

Our journey with Highgate Corner began with a blank canvas – literally. The property had no existing branding, no established identity, just potential waiting to be unleashed. We rolled up our sleeves and got to work, starting with the essentials: the brand identity.
The key was to ensure Highgate Corner’s brand captured the essence of modern Birmingham – a city that’s vibrant, dynamic, and always on the move. We developed a logo and colour palette that reflected this ethos: clean lines, bold typography, and a sophisticated, yet approachable colour scheme that whispered “luxury” without shouting “too expensive.”

Beyond the Brand: Creative Hoarding that Works Overtime

Next up was the hoarding design – a crucial element in making sure Highgate Corner stood out. We didn’t want just any hoarding; we wanted a visual masterpiece that would turn heads and start conversations.
We approached this with a bit of tongue-in-cheek creativity. After all, why should hoarding be boring? Our design featured eye-catching graphics and playful messaging that made passers-by do a double-take. But it wasn’t just about looking good; we strategically placed calls to action and key information to convert curious onlookers into potential buyers.

Marketing Materials That Do the Heavy Lifting

Branding and hoarding? Done. But we didn’t stop there. To fully equip Highgate Corner for success, we created a suite of marketing materials that would make any property developer green with envy. From brochures that doubled as coffee table books to digital assets that could be splashed across social media, we ensured every piece of marketing material was as polished as the properties themselves.
We also added a sprinkle of local charm. After all, Birmingham is the beating heart of the Midlands. We infused references to the local culture and community into the content, creating an emotional connection with potential buyers – because everyone wants to feel like they’re coming home, not just buying a house.

The Results: More Than Just Bricks and Mortar

The outcome? Highgate Corner didn’t just become another development in Birmingham; it became a landmark. The branding, hoarding, and marketing materials worked in harmony to create a buzz around the project, helping to drive enquiries and, more importantly, sales.
For us at PHd Design, this project was more than just a branding exercise. It was about taking a vision and turning it into reality, creating something that not only met the client’s expectations but exceeded them.

The Final Touches: Bringing it All Together

With the name, logo, and colour scheme sorted, we moved on to the finer details. We created a brand guide that outlines how Recyclapack should be presented across all mediums, from their website to their business cards. This ensures that the brand maintains a consistent, professional appearance, no matter where it’s seen.
