Logo Design & Visual Identity
Strategic brand identities crafted for UK SMEs. Explore a selection of logos designed to build trust, professionalise business presence, and drive long-term growth.
Logo Design Case Studies
A well-designed logo does the heavy lifting before you’ve said a word. It establishes credibility, aids recognition, and helps you compete more effectively in an often crowded market. But getting it right means understanding the specific challenge each business faces.
Working with a range of businesses across industries, and at multiple stages of their lives from start-up to established global brands, I have supported strategy and development of many brand identities, which have included logo design. Below are a handful of examples.
The Business Challenge
Every business needs to stand out and build trust quickly. But the specific challenges vary:
- New businesses need to establish credibility from day one – without the track record to back it up yet.
- Established companies may find their outdated identity is undermining their current positioning or holding them back from new opportunities.
- Growing businesses discover their logo doesn’t work across expanding channels – it breaks down at small sizes, looks wrong on digital platforms, or just wasn’t built to scale.
The Logo Design Approach
Each project started with the business problem, not the design brief. What impression needed to be created? Who was the audience? Where would the logo be used most frequently?
The design process focused on creating logos that were:
- Distinctive – memorable after brief exposure
- Appropriate – right for the industry and target audience
- Versatile – functional across different applications and sizes
- Enduring – built to last without frequent rebrands
The Results
Every logo design for clients has been developed as part of a wider brand system, with teams consistently feeding back increased confidence in client-facing situations, with their new visual identity opening doors to bigger opportunities and stronger first impressions.
The strategic approach delivered long-term value through designs that remained effective years after launch – providing a solid foundation for marketing efforts and business growth.
A note on brand systems
These logos were designed as part of complete visual identity systems – including colour palettes, tone of voice, typography, and usage guidelines. While a logo is often the most visible element, it works best when supported by a cohesive brand framework that extends across all customer touchpoints. Strategy is key to success here and is always unique to the business and brand.
