Creative Design
Our state-of-the-art design studio can take your ideas from initial concept to finished artwork.
Corporate Identity
A recognisable corporate identity is central to an organisation's marketing and serves to work alongside your brand perception towards the achievement of your business objectives.
Here at Blackburn's we're substantially experienced in working with clients to help create their ideal corporate identity, regardless of whether they employ other specialist agencies or work independently. We can create your brand with you.
Generally, this will include a corporate title and logo, with any other unique elements usually assembled within a set of guidelines. These govern how the image is projected and the rules for any reproduction or resizing for use in different formats. They also confirm precisely the colour palettes, typefaces, page layouts and other visual content of the brand. They're then used to create a package of tools and templates within a complete corporate identity manual.
Every detail of your current corporate identity might be important in terms of how it represents you in the eyes of your customers. From how your brochures and business cards support your business' image to what your use of colours communicates to clients, we'll help you achieve consistency and clarity.
To see how we can help you create a recognisable identity that's much more than just an image, speak to a member of our helpful team today.
Branding
Your brand identifies your company to the markets you're in, using logos, names, slogans, colours and symbols. Different companies in different sectors - such as corporate services, manufacturing, banking, retail and the public sector - have wide-ranging needs and ideas. At Blackburn's we're experts in identifying and developing these for businesses of all sizes.
If you're looking to breathe new life into your brand or reintroduce it into the market we can help you achieve your goals. We've successfully completed work on the brand image of several blue-chip clients such as the Co-operative Bank, Close Asset Management, Brammer PLC and other large companies including RRG Toyota, NCC, Hager and many other clients in the North West area. We've also worked with the Crown Prosecution Service, local authorities and numerous leading universities to help them communicate their brands to the public.
We understand how important your brand is and ensure all design and print work is produced according to stringent predetermined guidelines. This is ingrained within our company's culture and reinforced by our internal quality procedures.
Logo Design
We have helped many companies create their logo within the brand identity and we can help to refresh existing designs. At Blackburn's, Logo Design costs considerably less than with a specialist agency. We also offer the added advantage of producing the finished product on-site, using the same dedicated team, giving a full, direct and economical service.
In many cases, your logo will be the first impression of your business presented to your customers. This could be on a business card, email header or vehicle signage. At Blackburn's, we can give you a logo to be proud of that will make just the impact you're after.
Graphic Design
Our graphic designers will work with you, to convey your specific message to your target audience. We'll help you focus on optimising your customers' visual communication and presentation, using a combination of words, symbols and images to get your message across.
We combine the use of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce your ideas ready for print or the web. Graphic Design can be applied to your corporate identity (logo and brand), publications (brochures and magazines), advertisements and websites.
Consistent high-quality across the design of your visual identity is important. Our expert graphic design team will help you achieve this. Contact us to discuss your requirements with a designer.
