Tip Tuesday - Flip your type
Here’s a simple trick I use when fine tuning type, particularly logotypes and short headlines.

Flip it upside down.

When you stop reading the words, you start seeing the shapes and spaces between the characters. Those little gaps and inconsistencies become much easier to see.

It’s not a rule, and I’m certainly not suggesting you flip an entire paragraph upside down to kern it. 😂 For body copy, I trust my eye and use whatever settings work best for the design.

But when you’re obsessing over a logotype and trying to get every little detail right, it’s a handy trick to have.

Designed in Adelaide. Now live in New Zealand. 🇦🇺 → 🇳🇿
A recent creative campaign we created for Stratco New Zealand, covering outdoor, print, digital and direct mail.
We developed the campaign artwork and adapted the creative across all the different formats.

It’s always satisfying seeing something you’ve designed on screen turn up in the real world.

Sometimes the best rebrand starts with a name change.
What began as a rebrand for Daylight Breaks evolved into something much bigger.

Through brand discovery workshops, the team recognised an opportunity to bring two businesses together under a new name. The result was TACTIC. A brand that better reflects their strategic approach, collaborative mindset and future direction.

This first of three carousel posts explores the story behind the rebrand and the thinking that shaped the new identity.

Bringing the brand to life.
A successful brand doesn’t stop at the logo.

It comes to life through every interaction, from stationery and signage to social media, presentations and advertising. Every touchpoint is an opportunity to reinforce the same story and create a consistent brand experience.

This carousel showcases how the TACTIC identity was designed to work in the real world.

A brand built for what’s next.
A successful branding project isn’t measured by the logo alone. It’s measured by the confidence it gives a business moving forward.

Seeing TACTIC launch its new identity and hearing the team’s feedback made this project especially rewarding.

Thanks to the entire TACTIC team for trusting Red5 Creative with such an important chapter in your journey.
If you’re thinking about refreshing your brand or repositioning your business, I’d love to help.

Good design isn’t about adding visual elements for the sake of it. Every colour, typeface, shape and layout choice should have a purpose and meaning. When every decision supports the message, the design just works.

One comment from my time at university has stayed with me throughout my career.

A lecturer once described some student work (maybe it was mine 😂) as a “meaningless application of art.”

At the time, it sounded harsh. Looking back, I understand exactly what he meant.

It’s a principle that’s shaped the way I ’ve approached every project ever since.

It’s been a while between posts.

The past few months have been a whirlwind of moving into our new home and working on some exciting client projects. Things are finally settling down, which means it’s time to share some of the work that’s been keeping us busy.

The new Red5 studio is starting to take shape too.
And yes... the chair had to be red.

Taking a look back through the Red5 logo archive, and jumping on the Logo Archive trend.

Some of these marks were designed recently. Others are over 20 years old and still holding up today.
Different industries. Different challenges. Different stories behind every one.

The goal has always stayed the same though. Create logos that are clear, memorable and built to last.
And guess what? None of them were designed with AI.

‘38 Days’ Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz by Hastwell & Lightfoot

Produced from estate-grown old vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from McLaren Vale, the wine takes its name from the 38 days of extended maceration used to build depth, complexity and structure.

Designed to sit within Hastwell & Lightfoot’s premium range, the label follows a restrained and considered visual approach that reflects the character of the wine itself.

The concept centres around 38 circles, each representing one day of the extended maceration process. Progressively darkening across the label, they symbolise the wine’s slow development of depth, richness and intensity over time.

Metallic silver foil and high build clear varnish add subtle contrast and texture, reinforcing a premium finish.
