  • Food Vendor Logo Design

    Food Vendor Logo Design

    This food vendor logo design project was a great example of someone who has turned their passion into a viable and successful business. Staring off as just a hobby of curing their own meats, Dirty Dog Dorest have now grown into a company that supplies many farm shops and restaurants with their charcuterie products and have now expanded to a high end mobile pizza restaurant.

    The inspiration
    Food Vendor Logo Design project

    The inspiration for the logo was the owners dog, an important companion and employee. The logo was designed to act a seal around the products as well being able to operate as roundel on it’s own for the main brand. It also had to be designed with the pizza restaurant in mind, so needed to be flexible enough to retain its identity with alternative text added.

    Food Vendor Logo Design Project

    Alongside the cured meat products, Dirty Dog Dorset purchased a Streamline trailer and opened a mobile pizza restaurant. Using a special multi-pizza oven imported from Italy, they travel the country attending fairs, festivals, corporate events and weddings. As well as the food vendor logo design project, this is also example of vehicle graphics. Liaising the install team, artwork was produced based on Photoshop visuals which had been signed off by the client.

    The logo was designed to be used a stencil as it was envisaged to be used on multiple colours and textures. It also gave us the opportunity to explore physically branding the logo onto wooden chopping boards and pizza stones in order to extend the brand into merchandising.

    With the cured meats and pizza restaurant now successful it opens the possibility of having more trailers to extend the customer base and attend multiple events on the same weekends. This could be beneficial given the seasonality of the outside pizza offer.

  • Christmas Retail Campaign

    Christmas Retail Campaign

    Christmas is an important part of any retail operation and forms a vital part of overall annual sales. It is therefore vital to maximise this opportunity as many other campaigns throughout the year depend on the financial success of the holiday period. A well planned and executed Christmas retail campaign could make or break your year ahead.

    Banham Zoo use this time to promote a Santa experience to generate extra revenue, plus engage with the increased visitor numbers and promote their important conservation activities.

    The event included a Santa’s grotto, which incorporated a lot of the educational and conservation messages important to ZSEA. The visitors were invited to participate with craft activities and make a bird feeder to help the local bird population over Christmas. This important campaign was designed to show visitors that conservation is just as important in their own back gardens as the work ZSEA undertake. The local bird population is struggling and anything that the visitors could learn, the better chance they have. BBC article on the declining wild birds in British gardens >>

    Christmas Retail Campaign social media activity

    Social media posts showing the Santa image with birds. The challenge was then how to bring these elements across al aspects of the event, from signage, adverts and promotional material.

    Christmas wayfinder design

    Wayfinders and promotional posters using the Santa image or using the background moon/colours. This allowed the zoo to clearly identify which areas had been repurposed for the Christmas experience.

    Christmas Retail Campaign for food outlets

    Alongside the main attractions, the Christmas retail campaign included some food outlets being used for seasonal offers such as snacks and hot chocolates. A separate style was rolled out for some kiosks to given them their own identity.

    Retail examples

    Examples of retail activity. TV screen which is positioned behind the main ticket area, POS example upselling Christmas toys and a series of baubles which were presented on a real tree within the main retail area allowing visitors to buy experience gifts for Christmas.
