Horsforth WW1 Trail Map

As part of the World War I commemorative events taking place in Horsforth, Aldred Design has created this trail map for client Saville Communications. The self-guided trail leads to information boards (also designed by Aldred Design) placed in shop windows and other locations, that link people and events in WWI to them. The event takes place from Saturday 2nd August to Sunday 10th August and will be run again from Saturday 1st November to Sunday 9th November to coincide with  Remembrance Day and Armistice Day memorial services.

University Technical Colleges Guide

A new 12-page guide to University Technical Colleges (UTCs) and their ability to attract more female students has recently been completed for client WISE on behalf of the Royal Academy of Engineering. The guide states the case for increased female admissions into UTCs and offers a useful checklist for those managing these institutions to gauge their effectiveness in appealing to females entering the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The document also features a page of infographics that illustrates some surprising statistics relating to females in the STEM industries.

Arnavon - Helping People Grow

A new identity has recently been completed for Arnavon, an integrated urban agriculture project based in Tucson, Arizona. The logo design (the name is a translation for 'rabbit' in Hebrew) communicates elements of the agriculture programme itself by incorporating illustrations of a rabbit, hen, fish, bees, fruits and flowers within the letter forms. Initially, the logo has been used on banners to advertise the organisation at local produce fairs and farmer's markets but will eventually be included on packaging labels and will form the visual base for a new website.

New logo identity for touchscreen development company

A new logo has recently been completed for Blueperb, a company specialising in delivering high definition digital display solutions for the real estate, restaurant, construction and other industries. The company already had a simple logo that had acted as a placeholder on its new website but required an identity that expressed visually the products and services it offers. From a number of initial concepts presented, a design that showed the initial B of the company name drawn to resemble a hand activating a touch screen was the route chosen to be developed into the finalised logo. The 'hand/b' icon will also be used independently from the rest of the company name to act as a branding device on the company's hardware products.
