Simple stylin'


Just a mini bloggage this time, as we are flat out with more design projects and consultancy work than you could shake a stick at. The new office in Cornwall continues to receive a stream of friends, clients, (and both) journeying up the stairs.

We're currently working on the branding for the Renewable Energy 4 Devon project, a great two year cross-sector initiative. We won the project in a multiple agency tender and eagerly await the chance to roll out our innovative branding.

Amid a multitude of projects we're handling at the moment, we recently received a surprising request from none other than Microsoft, to brand and style an office area for one of their UK teams based in Reading. We have been working with Brainstorm Communications on the identity, event organisation, (to roll out the ident to their 80+ strong team), on-screen graphics and the office decor. It's been a rewarding project for all involved, and in a recent trip to view their office space we got to see a buzzing office environment, (with the Xbox floor area an attractive highlight of the redesign).

Our work will be a surprise install with the team being introduced to their new identity on a forthcoming Friday. Over the weekend we install window, wall, pillar and door graphics with possible meeting room graphics to follow for the team to walk into work on the Monday to a hopefully pleasant surprise.

We'll update more on Leap activities soon, but surfing & socialising is needed now.
