Insure My Business

Since 2012, Insure My Business has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted providers of specialist insurance — from commercial and landlord cover to niche markets. We created a strong, adaptable identity system — one central logo for the core brand, and six icons for their sub-divisions. A consistent visual language links each offer clearly back to the parent brand, reinforcing trust, experience, and quality.

Building a Moore balanced lifestyle

Moorelife Retreats offer space to breathe. Nestled in the hills of Saddleworth and beyond, their retreats guide you gently back to yourself — through movement, stillness, nourishing food, fresh air, and meaningful connection. We developed a calm and confident brand identity, rooted in nature and shaped by stillness. The logomark evokes balance and flow, while soft, earthy colours and refined type promote trust and clarity. The website reflects the retreats themselves — open, welcoming, and purposefully pared back.

It's Grimm Up North

Grimmfest started back in 2009 as a showcase for independent horror features and short films. Over the years, while the team have hosted hundreds of premieres and celebrity Q&As, the remit has shifted from purely horror to ‘genre film’ in all its many facets. Off the back of this sideways shift we were tasked to rebrand and create a new digital resource for the much loved Manchester institution. A subtle nod to the classic vampire fangs within the logo and a clean and simple web platform provided Grimmfest with the perfect base from which to thrive and expand.

It's Behind You!

For over 90 years, the Plaza Super Cinema and Variety Theatre has been the gem in Stockport's crown. For the last 10 of those years, we have managed all of the theatre's design requirements across digital, print, signage, branding, and much more. Our close working relationship means we can turn around complex projects on short notice and maintain consistently high quality. Currently, we are in the process of revamping the Plaza's website for launch in 2025.

Davey Strange

A bold and bittersweet identity for musician Davey Strange. From vinyl and cassette sleeves to digital platforms, we created a visual world to match the sound — raw, romantic, and unmistakably his. Artwork, posters, merch, social assets, and a fully responsive website all carry the same offbeat charm and emotional punch.

Sing a Simple Song

Root Music is a promoter, producer and all round dynamic force in the world of music and the arts. Based in the Northwest and promoting events nationally, they required a brand and web presence that aligned with their focus on jazz, folk and world music. The song bird encapsulates the purity of the musical themes and, backed by simple, considered typography and a natural colour palette, provided the perfect vehicle for Root Music to grow and grow.

Arrows & Allies

From ESOL to Caring Professionals, every detail speaks to real opportunities and strong local ties.
