logo design

As the post on toxel.com shows - logo design does not need to be complicated to be effective.

You can see all the logos here.

In fact I would suggest that if you look at the majority of high profile brands their logos are actually quite simple.

That doesn’t mean that no effort needs to be applied to the design. In fact, it often takes more effort to remove the unnecessary elements of a design to find the core design that will be the most effective option.

Simplicity, also allows a logo to be positioned easily on promotions and printed cost effectively.

Check out the full range of high profile logos here.

Builder and trade website

Trades people, including builders, carpenters, plumbers and electricians are finding that the online space is really where advertising dollars are needing to be spent to get results.

We’ve seen some great results from customer website, including $480,000+ client work coming directly through search engines and websites.We’ve just completed work on a new project for Glenrich Builders, a Building and Construction Company in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne.

Glenrich builders specialise in New Homes, Renovation and Extensions and the task here was to get that message across through the use of text that would later be indexed by Google Search Engines. We we’re also required to include all content from the existing site while rebranding the look for their new corporate identity.

The new site design, copywriting and back end structure should lead to some profitable results for the year ahead.

If you’re a trades person looking for a web solution including online advertising, web design and search engine optimisation, give us a call to discuss the possibilities.
