Photography

Great photos make all the difference to your brand and image. Consider the importance of photography in your business and how it portrays your products and services.

Other Visual Items

Design can extend much further than ink on paper or on a website. Communication on a large scale is different in that you need to understand images and viewing distances.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property

It’s a messy world out there trademark infringement can be a complex issue, sometimes resulting in legal problems. When we design your original and unique branding and logo we undertake extensive research to ensure you avoid any legal issues in the future. We also encourage you to TM and Register ® your logos and by-lines. This ensures you better protect your valuable assets in the marketplace from competitors who want to trade on your name.
