Branding for Street Design by Birdhouse Design Limited
Branding for Street Design by Birdhouse Design Limited

Street Design

Established in 1986, Street Design manufacture a range of distinctive external landscape products, for both the public and private sector. The main product categories are planters, outdoor seating, external street furniture and bespoke outdoor products.

We have been working with Street Design since our inception. In 2016 they asked us to look at their identity. As they manufacture modular, 3 dimensional products we wanted their logo to reflect this and thus looked at angular ‘constructed’ ideas. They liked this approach and finally settled on the image you see here. Below is the branding the new logo replaced.

Bespoke Pub Menus

Everards Brewery openly encourage their pub tenants to be independent and follow their own path, to this end they are known as ‘Business Owners’. Many of the pub buildings are old and interesting and have been beautifully refurbished. This needs to be reflected in their promotional material (there’s no desire for the ‘managed house’ look these days). Here are a few examples of menus that we have designed in the past year or so.

Vepro Engineering

We were involved with Vepro from their conception in the late 1990’s until their acquisition by Ricardo Engineering in 2015. We created their identity, stationery, brochures, website and many graphic for both external exhibitions and  for display in their office. Vepro mainly designed motorcycles. We needed to convey their experience in all aspects of motorcycle design including engine, chassis electrics and product homologation. To this end we created a complex image of a deconstructed motorcycle. We photographed a typical bike and rider then worked closely with their engineers to build up a multi-layered image that examined the working of the entire machine.
