Today, we unveil a tale that intertwines imagination, creativity, and the vibrant essence of childhood. Join us as we journey through the whimsical woods of Stretton Lodge, where every leaf tells a story, and every corner echoes with laughter.

At PHd Design, we thrive on transforming dreams into tangible realities. When Stretton Lodge, a cherished children’s nursery, entrusted us with the task of rebranding their sanctuary of growth and discovery, we embraced the challenge with open arms and vivid palettes.

Branching Out: The Re-birth of a Brand

Picture this: a haven nestled amidst the trees, where little adventurers embark on journeys of learning and laughter. Inspired by this enchanting vision, we embarked on a quest to encapsulate the essence of Stretton Lodge in a single symbol: the Treehouse.

Our creative saplings diligently toiled, crafting a logo that stands tall as the heart of Stretton Lodge’s identity. Behold the majestic Treehouse, adorned with a kaleidoscope of colours, each leaf whispering tales of imagination. It’s not just a logo; it’s a portal to a world where every child is the hero of their own story.

Colouring Outside the Lines: Vibrancy with a Purpose

In the vibrant tapestry of childhood, colour reigns supreme. But in our quest to infuse Stretton Lodge’s brand with hues that sing with joy, we didn’t just throw paint at the canvas and hope for the best. Oh no, dear reader! We danced with the rainbow, strategically selecting hues that resonate with warmth, nurture, and boundless possibility.

The result? A symphony of shades that not only captivates the eye but also speaks volumes about Stretton Lodge’s commitment to creating a nurturing environment where every child can flourish.

Now, as we bid adieu to the enchanted woods of Stretton Lodge, our hearts brim with pride and gratitude. The journey may have reached its destination, but the adventure continues.

Until next time, fellow adventurers. Keep dreaming, keep creating, and never forget: the greatest adventures begin with a single step.

Excitement is in the air, as we reveal our latest design success story – our recent collaboration with Radmoor Training, where PHd Design put on its creative cap to elevate their branding and marketing materials to new heights. Before venturing into the realm of design, let’s lay the groundwork and set the tone.

The Backdrop: A Tale of Deer and Determination

Radmoor Training, a beacon of expertise in First Aid, Manual Handling, and Health & Safety, found themselves facing stiffer competition after a local rival was gobbled up by a corporate giant. Determined to stay ahead of the game, they joined forces with PHd Design through our ‘free design giveaway,’ a humble initiative to support businesses navigating the post-COVID landscape.

The Creative Odyssey

Our mission was crystal clear: rebrand Radmoor Training and craft marketing materials that not only reflected their professionalism but also resonated with the local community. Inspired by the deer-dotted landscape of Radmoor, our design magicians worked their magic to conjure a logo and branding that would make heads turn faster than a deer spotting a headline-grabbing acorn.

The Logo: Where Art Meets Antlers

Imagine a logo that captures the essence of Radmoor’s locale – a graceful deer, a symbol of resilience and alertness, elegantly integrated with the company name. The result? A sleek, memorable emblem that speaks volumes about Radmoor’s commitment to excellence.

Branding: Beyond the Ordinary

Our creative concoction extended beyond the logo, weaving seamlessly into a cohesive branding tapestry. From colour palettes reminiscent of the Radmoor landscape to fonts that exuded professionalism without being too uptight, we left no stone unturned.

Marketing Materials: More Than Just Pamphlets

In a world dominated by digital noise, we armed Radmoor Training with marketing materials that cut through the clutter. Humorous undertones and relatable content became the secret sauce, turning mundane safety jargon into engaging, memorable messages. After all, who said safety can’t have a sprinkle of wit?

The Impact: Outshining the Corporate Herd

The result? Radmoor Training emerged not just as a contender but as the stag leading the pack. Our design overhaul injected a breath of fresh air into their identity, setting them apart from the corporate behemoths. In the battle for brand awareness, Radmoor Training went from a whisper to a triumphant roar.

The Takeaway: Why PHd Design?

For those pondering why PHd Design should be their creative partner, let’s break it down. Our commitment to uplifting businesses, our knack for understanding the local pulse, and our ability to infuse personality into branding are just a few reasons why Radmoor Training now stands tall.

So, if you find yourself at the crossroads of design dilemmas, remember, PHd Design is here to turn your challenges into triumphs. Dare to be different. Dare to be noticed. Choose PHd Design – where creativity meets purpose.

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest triumph at PHd Design – the transformation of Ministry of Doughnuts into a delectable haven of artisan delights with a touch of military precision. Buckle up for a delightful journey through doughnut diplomacy!

The Sweet Conquest Begins

Ministry of Doughnuts, one of the lucky winner’s of our most recent ‘free design giveaway,’ captured our hearts with their dedication to crafting hand-made, artisanal doughnuts. Armed with our creativity and a sprinkle of humour, we embarked on a mission to give them a brand makeover that would stand out in the competitive world of sweet treats.

The Strategic Inspiration

Inspiration struck like a sugar rush when we delved into the concept of the Ministry of Defence. After all, aren’t doughnuts a universal symbol of peace and joy? We envisioned a brand that would not only tantalise taste buds but also create a sense of order and delight akin to a well-executed military operation.

Reimagining a Logo

The heart of any rebranding venture lies in the logo, and ours was no exception. Presenting the Ministry of Doughnuts’ emblem – a regal crown adorned with three different types of sumptuous doughnuts. This playful twist on the Ministry of Defence logo symbolises the sweet reign and authority of our client’s handcrafted delights. It’s not just a logo; it’s a proclamation – doughnuts, the crowned champions of happiness!

The Colour Palette: Chic Monochrome with a Pop of Pink

To further embrace the military theme with a touch of whimsy, we opted for a chic monochrome colour palette. Picture this: sleek blacks and whites create an elegant backdrop, while a pop of vibrant pink adds a dash of playfulness. This visual treat mirrors the delightful chaos of doughnut creation and ensures that Ministry of Doughnuts stands out in sweet style.

Typography: Bold and Commanding

In the world of Ministry of Doughnuts, words are as powerful as flavour explosions. Our choice of bold, commanding typography conveys authority while maintaining the playful spirit of handcrafted treats. It’s the perfect balance between assertiveness and deliciousness.

Packaging: Rations of Delight

Every doughnut deserves a royal entrance, and our packaging design ensures just that. With a touch of military precision, each box unfolds to reveal a troop of delectable doughnuts ready to conquer taste buds. It’s more than packaging; it’s an experience.

The Outcome: Sweet Victory

The Ministry of Doughnuts’ rebranding was more than a project; it was a collaboration that resulted in sweet victory for all. Our client now stands proudly with a brand that not only reflects their commitment to quality but also adds a dash of whimsy to the doughnut scene.

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.

Our team is thrilled to share another delicious journey of transformation, but this time we’re hitting the road with out friends at Artisian Camper!

Unlocking Artisan Camper’s Branding Potential

Artisan Camper, a local artisan food producer renowned for crafting unique pork crackling from the back of a vintage VW camper van, approached us with an exciting challenge. They needed a branding and packaging solution that would capture the hearts of their customers while keeping costs low.

The Unique Journey of Artisan Camper

Artisan Camper’s story is not just about their delectable pork crackling but also about their humble beginnings. Huddled in the cozy confines of a VW camper, they embarked on a mission to create flavours that stood out. These delicious, small batch-snacks were a hit at popular events and markets, but their branding and packaging required an upgrade to match their growing reputation.

Our Creative Approach

Our aim was to provide Artisan Camper with a solution that would keep costs low while allowing for future expansion of flavours. To achieve this, we designed a single packaging tube that could be customised with stickers to indicate the flavour within. This ingenious design not only streamlined production costs but also granted Artisan Camper the flexibility to introduce new flavours without diluting their brand recognition.

The Visual Transformation

We kicked off this exciting transformation with a brand new logo. This logo, with it’s professional and appealing look, was the first step in elevating Artisan Camper’s brand identity. We then extended this fresh new appearance to their packaging and point-of-sale banners, ensuring a cohesive, eye catching brand image.

The Result

The result was a brand that not only caught the eye but also resonated with Artisan Camper’s loyal customers and newcomers alike. Their packaging now tells a story that complements their journey from the VW camper van to culinary excellence. This transformation has helped Artisan Camper stand out in the artisan food industry, enabling them to make their mark and grow.

At PHd Design, we’re passionate about creating effective design solutions that drive business growth. Our work with Artisan Camper is a testament to our commitment to innovation and creativity.

Our team are delighted to share a special treat with you; a glimpse into one of our latest projects. This is our exciting journey of rebranding and packaging redesign for our cherished friends at The English Cake Company.

A Feast for the Senses

At The English Cake Company, it’s all about creating an unforgettable taste experience that embodies the very best of British traditions. Their cakes have long been celebrated for their exquisite flavors, and we were determined to match that deliciousness with an equally captivating visual transformation that showcases the essence of British culture.

Our mission extended beyond aesthetics; it was about telling a story. The design of both the branding and packaging were carefully crafted to not only reflect the delectable cakes inside but to also celebrate the rich culinary heritage of the United Kingdom. Every aspect of the design is a nod to the best of British, from the elegant fonts that harken to traditional British calligraphy to the color palette inspired by the lush landscapes of the British countryside.

The English Cake Company has been a beloved name in the UK for years, with their cakes gracing the shelves of major retailers, supermarkets, and department stores across the country. Now, they are taking their sweet success to new heights by breaking into the international market, starting with the vibrant city of Dubai. The packaging design needed to bridge the gap between their proud British heritage and the international appeal of their cakes.

A Symphony of Taste and Aesthetics with Global Ambitions

With meticulous attention to detail, we’ve ensured that The English Cake Company’s branding and packaging not only evoke the best of Britain but also carry a universal charm that resonates with a global audience. The design proudly proclaims “Made in Britain” while embracing the sophistication that appeals to international consumers.

This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity. Our team are immensely proud of the result, and we’re excited to continue working with partners who share our unwavering commitment to excellence.

More to Come

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes glimpses of this delectable project, showcasing the creativity and dedication that went into making it a sweet success.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, and stay tuned for more delectable delights from The English Cake Company, a true testament to the magic of creative collaboration.

Our team here at PHd Design are proud to share our recent collaboration with Lioncroft Wholesale, formerly known as East End Foods, on a significant rebranding project. And now that they have officially launched their new branding, we’re delighted to announce the successful completion of their business transformation.

The Importance of the Rebrand

A successful rebrand can have a profound impact on a business, going beyond superficial changes to fundamentally realign its identity with the vision for the future. Lioncroft Wholesale recognised this significance and embarked on their rebranding journey with a clear motivation: to create a new identity that truly resonated with their vision and aspirations. This transformation was driven by their desire to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market and to position themselves as a modern, forward-thinking company.

Throughout the rebranding process, Lioncroft Wholesale’s passion and pride were palpable. Led by the inspirational leadership of the Wouhra family, the entire Lioncroft team approached the project with unwavering enthusiasm and dedication. Their collective belief in the power of their heritage, combined with a shared vision for the future, fuelled their determination to create a brand that would make a lasting impact. With meticulous attention to detail and a genuine drive to deliver excellence, they showcased their commitment to crafting an identity that authentically represented their values and aspirations.

The significance of the Lioncroft Wholesale rebrand lies not only in the physical changes but also in the strategic realignment of their identity. It symbolises their readiness to adapt, innovate, and thrive in a dynamic business landscape. With a fresh and resonant identity in place, Lioncroft Wholesale is poised to make a bold statement, ready to embrace new opportunities, and embark on an exciting chapter of growth and success.

The Journey to Lioncroft Wholesale

Lioncroft Wholesale’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. It began with the strategic buyback of the family business by Dr. Jason Wouhra and his family, followed by the acquisition of the Aston and Smethwick depots in 2020. These pivotal moves marked the first steps in their quest to build a stronger and more successful enterprise.

They made the strategic decision to delay the rebranding process. Recognising the importance of customer recognition and familiarity, they chose to wait until their valued customers were well-acquainted with the new name. This patient approach ensured a seamless transition, enabling Lioncroft to retain and strengthen the trust of their loyal customer base.

Rebranding with PHd Design

Our branding experts here at PHd Design worked tirelessly to deliver outstanding results, breathing new life into the brand and positioning Lioncroft Wholesale for success.

Central to the rebranding effort was the creation of a striking logo that embodies the brand’s strength and heritage. Our team meticulously crafted a proud lion emblem, symbolising leadership, resilience, and authority. This powerful symbol not only captures the essence of Lioncroft Wholesale but also sets them apart in the market, leaving a lasting impression on their customers.

In addition to the logo, we embarked on an extensive redesign process, revamping the packaging for their entire food range. Our goal was to infuse a modern touch while maintaining a connection to their rich heritage. The result was visually stunning packaging that perfectly aligned with the brand’s new identity. Alongside this, we created captivating brochures that showcased the breadth of their offerings and delivered a consistent brand experience.

But we didn’t stop there – we also crafted a dynamic website that beautifully reflected Lioncroft Wholesale’s values, products, and unique selling points. With intuitive navigation, engaging visuals, and seamless integration of the new brand identity, the website became an impactful digital showcase for their business.

Our exceptional work on the rebranding journey with Lioncroft Wholesale stands as a testament to our dedication and expertise. The transformation we achieved through the logo design, packaging revamp, brochures, and website has elevated the brand to new heights. We are proud to have played a significant role in Lioncroft Wholesale’s rebranding success, and we look forward to witnessing the continued growth and prosperity of their business.

We’re celebrating the return of our ever-popular ‘Free Design Giveaway’, by looking back at previous winners, and how their chosen project impacted their businesses…

2020

The giveaway was first launched back in 2020, as a way for PHd Design to help support those businesses who were struggling under the weight of the global pandemic. Out of the entries received, one stood out having been hit hard by lockdowns – ‘The Olde Peculiar’. This pub based in Handsacre, had a tremendous history and real ambition. And following a long period without investment, the owners wanted to give the pub branding and signage a makeover – ready for when lockdown ended, and they were able to welcome back customers. However, in close second place was ‘Gina’, a charity providing support to victims of rape and sexual abuse. When we discussed with them the work that they do and the impact it has – we knew we had to help them, so we extended our offer of a free design project – which they gladly accepted.

Both rebrands were fantastic projects for our team, giving them a chance to really flex their creative muscles.

The Olde Peculiar

The Olde Peculiar opted to receive a full rebrand, which included a new logo, signage design and menu design. We think you’ll agree that the results look fantastic!

“We’re very proud of our village pub, being established in 1700 we have a lot of history, character and appeal, but our image looked a little tired. Now… with the help of the team at PHd, our new logo, branding and signage grabs people’s attention, complementing our already superb venue. We’re so pleased with the sensitive re-brand perfect for us, and our customers!”
-Corrine O’Donnell, Owner

GINA

The team at GINA, opted for a full rebrand, hoping that a vibrant new brand would help to build awareness of the charity and their work. The rebrand was certainly a success, and awareness of the charity has greatly increased since 2020. Most recently they have collaborated with actress Emily Atack as part of a BBC documentary exploring sexual harassment.

“We wanted to bring a totally different spin to our sector through our brand; we want to bring colour, eccentricity, intrigue, and just a tiny sprinkling of the good kind of ‘crazy.’ This might sound weird (to have ‘fun’, ‘colourful’ quirky branding for an organisation in our sector); however, we believe that our sector needs this element of vibrancy and something unique (it needs the colour, brightness, joy and hope). Not much to say PHd other than, we LOVE THESE!”
-Lisa Thompson, Chief Executive Officer

2021

Our team agreed that for the 2021 giveaway, we wanted to do things a little differently. This time the competition would be open only to those businesses within the food and drink industry. One entrant in particular caught our attention, with their application requesting a fresh new look. They explained that their products had been rejected by stores, potential customers and the wider target audience. The feedback she had received confirmed that the existing branding and packaging were to blame.

Naturally Heavenly Chocolates

Like many startup’s their initial branding and packaging choices were ‘bootstrap’ selections. With a friend designing the original logo and the packaging being the cheapest available. After having taken the time to understand the businesses ethos, the importance of sustainability and budget restrictions – PHd put together a low cost, multi-functional packaging solution. And using our contacts we were able to source an eco-friendly packaging for the same price per unit as the previous packaging.

“Within a few weeks I was receiving invites from vegan events and companies who had rejected me previously. I’ve been invited to an ’emerging food business’ stand at the BBC Good Food Show, and I’m in discussions with numerous retail units and farm shops who are asking to stock my products.”
“There has been an 80% increase in sales in the 4 months following the rebrand. Social media followers increased by 144% in the first 3 weeks alone, and many people visiting me at markets said that they had seen the brand on social media and wanted to come and say hello and make a purchase.”
-Tina, Owner

2022

2022 was a landmark year for PHd Design, in which we not only celebrated 30 years of design excellence – but also taking home an international design award for our rebrand of Titanic Brewery. To celebrate, it seemed only fitting to run the giveaway not once, but twice this year…

Staffordshire Gin

Staffordshire Gin caught our attention with their unusual request, they were looking for a unique packaging design to house their upcoming limited edition gin. Our team put pencil to paper and began fleshing out initial designs that would compliment their existing branding, whilst highlighting the uniqueness of their new gin. We were also able to source an affordable print company that could accurately print highly detailed designs onto textured paper.

We’ve had to keep this fantastic design under our hats for some time, but now that the ‘Hertiage Edition’ gin has been officially launched, we’re pleased to share the end result.

Military Chef

Our second giveaway of the year received some great applications, but our team were blown away by the enthusiasm of ‘Military Chef’. A former armed forces chef had set up shop selling chocolate and other sweet treats, and was now looking for a full rebrand to help make his business stand out from the competition.

Our team gave their existing logo a full redesign, making it more professional, whilst still embodying the military essence. We then redesigned their packaging to fit the new branding. The new designs proved to be very popular with customers.

Our 2023 Giveaway is Live

If you’d like to be in with a chance to win a free design project from our award-winning design team – you’re in luck – our 2023 giveaway is open to applicants until 22nd February 2023.
