London market agency new logo design

As we continue our website design services for Kent businesses, a rare venture into London generated yet another logo design. Bray Markets asked Oast House Media to complete a new website replacing their below standard Wix attempt. The existing logo was low quality and badly pixilated so on agreement price and updated logo look OHM created a new logo that would not only serve for web use but also all other media including: web and social media signage and large format printing promo material and work wear The new logo uses ‘vector’ design process in Adobe Illustrator therefore can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. The design...

New website for old pub Facebook referral

Wix website owners may be interested in this; we had an inquiry via Facebook for a re-design of an old Wix website. The Half Moon and Seven Stars (Preston) business owner Dave Cullen was unhappy with access and the performance on Google SEO of his Wix design. On investigation it was clear that Wix had left several important ‘Google specific’ elements out of the old web pages and the owner was struggling to update his web pages. The new design using WordPress ticks all the boxes for Google so we expect halfmoonandsevenstars.com to improve with both client access (so they can update the web pages) and their Google SERPs (search...

Logo’s coming in thick and fast as we tweak our Google SEO keywords. Roots Home Renovation business owner saved himself a shed load of time and money by delivering a very good brief for their new logo. Embracing renewable vibes with property care, the new design can be used for all media inc: web, print, signage and workwear. When designing a logo it is important to consider future use which may also include different colour backgrounds such as workwear and vehicles.

New web design for local seamstress

The wedding trades have taken a battering since Covid19 virtually closed the industry down 2 years ago. With restricted numbers at any gathering the legions of wedding businesses have disappeared. One survivor is returning client Sandra Barlow, a seamstress based in East Kent. Sandra closed her original website down just before Covid19 struck because she was too busy with mainly wedding dress design. Word of mouth referrals and some social media was enough to keep here busy. But with a change in personal circumstances and Covid restrictions lifted, she realised a website was a must have business marketing tool for the future. The new design (our first in 2022) fell...

Logo design in 24 hours

Surrey based investments company Strettit contacted OHM for logo design prices. The brief was a bit vague but on a theme we’ve worked on before – Oast Houses! In fact we got the call because of our OHM 3 oast logo design. We estimated 2 hours to complete based on the clients use and style description, to assist we quickly put together a draft idea which was accepted without edit. We also supplied 4 colour variations with the green option being selected. At this point we’d only spent 30 minutes on the project and having received approval on the draft design it was a simple task of creating the same...

Microsoft Word template designs

Following on from our Microsoft Word PDF editing article this week, it’s worth mentioning some other Word creations completed last month for our long term web design clients Joiner Holdings in Herne Bay. Marketing manager David Mann was looking to update their in-house invoicing templates but lacked the design knowledge to create 3 Microsoft Word invoice designs that will work with their local office laser printers. The problem with Microsoft Word is that it is a ‘live’ document, that means it is affected by local settings, ie: fonts on the resident PC, printer tolerances, screen colours etc therefore you have to go through a trial set up design process to...

Logo re-design for Shelly’s Tea Rooms

Occasionally we are commissioned to design (or re-design) company logos for Kent businesses, in fact this month (October 2021) we’ve created 3 designs. 2 were part of website design projects, but the Shelly’s Tea Rooms was a logo re-design only project. The usual problem with logos are the original design has been lost or not supplied, especially with established businesses, for example: the original is not digital (old style paper artwork) the master file was not supplied to the customer (they only received the non-editable export files like JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF/PDF files) the files have been lost the owner purchased the business and the previous owner failed to supply the master file...
