One of our team, Jon, was recently featured on Ivy's Library, a blog of bite-sized book reviews for toddlers and babies.

How Obladee helped to create a brand for a local charity run juice shop.

It is really hard to know if, when and how to change your company logo, hopefully this will help you make up your mind.

We are happy to have finally made the move to our new website having outgrown our previous home and working from virtual cardboard boxes for the last few months!

We came across this interesting guide to responsive logo design, it shows some great examples of how brands have adapted to be responsive and efficient in the modern world of branding. It’s interesting how in recent years logos are becoming more simplified and minimal, yet are possibly stronger and more memorable than ever.

On a recent trip to Iceland with my wife, amongst all of the beautiful scenery and attractions, my geeky creative design brain couldn’t help but study the graphic design surrounding us. It got me thinking, how is graphic design different in other countries and why?

The term branding is a million miles from what used to be known as corporate identity. These days organisations need to think far beyond the colours, shapes and style of their identity and delve deeper into the purpose behind a brand. Since the introduction of the internet and social media, to build a great brand it’s essential that you are always evolving, interacting and hold core values in all you do.

Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas and a big thank you for your custom this year and continued support.

After a competition sponsored by Norges Bank to design Norway’s new currency, the winners have been chosen. Snøhetta for one side of the notes and The Metric System for the other, working together to create both a modern and traditional design.

Creative agency SAS announced the winners of their annual scholarship award recently, which was set up 3 years ago to highlight work from the students of their local colleges. Each college is given a different brief and the top three entries are awarded a cash prize from £1,000 to £3,000. It shows some really great design and thought provoking ideas and you can see the winners entries here.

It has been a great first few weeks at Obladee, we have started work on a couple of exciting new projects and will hopefully share these very soon.

Hello and welcome to our little corner of the internet. Go grab yourself a lovely cup of tea, get yourself comfortable and take a look around… but watch out; the paint’s still wet in places!
