Work Journal

We were delighted with these fun and snappy little badges. The sharp cyan blue turtle works wonders with the dome resin finish whilst the rest of the white base just ties the piece up.

For this project we used our Printed Aluminium Clutch Pin Badges (MP15947).

A split of designs equalling a cohesive and collectible set of merch on this job! The white base and black rim, with black print to boot screams retail, but the standout has to be the design work here which is fun, on-brand and well thought out.

For this project we used our 10oz Enamel Mug (MP18888).

We loved this sample we received from this Desktop Garden job! Quite simply the young cyan base pops from the shimmering aluminium can to give the entire composition a lively feel.

For this project we used our Desktop Garden (MP14315).

The contrast of the natural card colour versus Canal & River Trusts royal blue is what gives these nifty notepads the edge here! They even went for a modern twist by adding a strap line to not only make use of the branding area but also hit home the eco qualities these notebooks have.

For this project we used our Recycled A5 Natural Card Cover Notepad (MP14703).

Digitally printed in full colour to the front face, these A6 Postcards we produced for Turnitin's direct mail project came out a treat! With only a low res rastor file to hand our Studio helped redraw the front face with our contact providing the colour profiles and the back was left blank with a Welcome heading ready to be written on for a more authentic finish.

For this project we used our A6 Postcard (MP22021).

Movember sure know how to make the most of their promotional merch, and these bespoke socks just speak volumes! The deep black 'tash towards the top of the sock has high levels of exposure against the soft bright white base. We also just love the design work that went into the card wrap which makes them so much more desirable and premium looking.

For this project we used our Bespoke Sports Socks (MP22106).

Everyone loves Skittles, so this nifty bit of brand partnership between the well known sweets and the University of Leicester for their centenary was a bit of merch mastery! The harmony between the vibrant sweets and the black & gold branding is tremendously striking and bound to draw in wandering eyes, plus hungry tummies!

For this project we used our Sweets in Eco Pot (MP20931).

Look once at these pens seem simple, but on second glance they have an unusual industrial looking aesthetic. This in part is due to the matt white base, but really due to the dark chrome details and stylus. Furthermore the fine print is next to the clip rather than inline - a witty printing area which ensures exposure when in hand.

For this project we used our Crosby Soft Touch Stylus Ballpen (MP20508).

Here we have another couple bit of merch from the big HSBC job we did earlier in the year, and oh boy we are so pleased with them! The retail packaging gives each cup a gifty outlook whilst the soft bodies where printed with the logo to the front and message to the back for maximum exposure.

For this project we used our Ecoffee Cup® 8oz (MP21710).

The screen printed artwork to the front face of the barrels contrasts vividly against its matt black counterpart. The smooth black pens are a delight to hold with the artwork striking when in hand.

For this project we used our Senator Bio Skeye Ballpen (MP21115).

This premium Champagne Flute we produced for HSBC has come out an utter treat! On this occasion we finely laser engraved their logo which sits subtly to the front face and has a gorgeous level of sophistication against its clear base. Cheers HSBC! (Moet and Truffles not included).

For this project we used our Michael Angelo Crystal Champagne Flute (MP18429).

Here is a sneak peak of one of our self-promo items for '23, the Moleskine Cahier. We've gone white, big and bold on this addition which will also come with a sleeve, meaning that our logo will still pop out from either side and give our brand a bit more of a boost over the next 12 months.

For this project we used our Moleskine Cahier Journal - Pocket (MP15658).

We love how these Corkley Speakers have been produced to look blatantly eco with their rustic cork outer, natural face and black speaker with HSBC's finely printed artwork just popping off the lower segment.

For this project we used our Xoopar Corkley Speaker (MP22851).

Here we have another set of merch for our friends over at Movember, this time some on-brand BIC pens. The wrap around print on the barrel has given their bold branding huge levels of hierarchy with the white on the jet back pens given an extra pop!

For this project we used our BIC Grip Roller Chrome (MP11590).

This is a perfect example of colour co-ordination! HSBC selected 3 similar bottles to their own brand colours with each complimenting the succinct laser engraved artwork to a tee!

For this project we used our Middleton Colour Burst Bottle (MP22880).
