🫣👀 First look at a simple, but smart Logo System for a Brand that’s gearing up to deliver simple and intelligent electrical and refrigeration solutions for Bundy businesses and homes. 💪

Keep an eye out for this crew over the coming months as they get to work, building towards the launch of a local business that “dares” to be different. 😉

The powerhouse duo behind Dare Project Solutions approached the Tudgee Bear with a goal to launch their business and brand with the appropriate impact that comes from a professionally designed Logo. Catch-ya “Chat”, the people have spoken. No AI here.

Not every Brand launch needs to start with a Full Brand Identity Design Package - every seasoned Entrepreneur will tell you that just simply starting is what’s most important. But that doesn’t mean that a Logo System Project is delivered without Strategic Vision and Planning (a view for what the Brand is and will become).

Whether it’s a Logo System, Visual Identity, or Brand Identity Project, Tudgee starts every one of these Projects with a Brand Strategy Workshop, Client Workbook, and Creative Direction Presentation, to ensure what I deliver has been strategically designed with the Brand in mind.

Alex and Bree at DARE understand that simple, intelligent electrical and refrigeration solutions, are the difference between a system that works for the long term and one that doesn’t. Regular emergency and urgent call-outs are avoided when the appropriate time and care is taken at the beginning on first install. Work smarter, not harder - as the saying goes.

The DARE Logo needed to communicate this message simple, safe, smart, precise, and professional. No BS, no excuses, no fluff. It simply works. ⚡️

It was a pleasure to work with the legends in the DARE engine room, and I’m looking forward to seeing the official launch! 🚀 Stay tuned, everybody!

Some more custom illustration work from my recent project with Bundaberg Tourism ✍️

These cute little cartoon illustrations were developed for a series of 3 custom self-inking Passport stamps for our region’s Visitor Information Centres.

Our Info Centres started seeing tourists arrive with the , an awesome novelty travel passport by Jo Rothwell and you know we had to make sure our beautiful region was the map - stamps ready for excited travellers to have a little something to remember their time in what I reckon has to be one of the greatest places to live, work and play!

Add us to the list Rothwell! You know the Southern Great Barrier Reef well and truly has the goods! 😉

Thanks again to Bundaberg Tourism, for giving Tudgee the opportunity to develop some creative treasures for our Aussie Adventurers! I got the opportunity to see the Childers stamp get used in the passport for the first time last week and I couldn’t contain myself. You’d think I’d never seen a stamp before. 😂

And to all the adventurers passing through our region, make sure you collect them all and check out everything we have to offer. 😀

Super proud of this one! 🤙

Bundaberg Region, Queensland (Bundaberg Tourism) recently reached out to me to refresh the Childers Historical Walk brochure.

Right from the get-go I knew I wanted to add some gamification to it - make it feel like a little bit of a scavenger hunt and turn it into something you felt you could keep to remember your time visiting our beautiful town perched in the hills of the Bundaberg region.

A real opportunity to not just to “redesign a brochure”, but create some sweet illustrations that make it feel like more than just something you pick up, use once and toss away. You know me, I love an opportunity to actually create, not just design.

Thankfully Katherine, Ellie and the team and Bundy Tourism were fully on board with the dream - just one catch…. There’s a specific illustration style in the Brand Guidelines for the launch of the new Tourism brand.

Hewls yeah! Challenge accepted! The existing Brand Illustration style developed was a hand-drawn, doodle-like style with selective grey watercolour treatment.

It was definitely a challenge for me to try and restrain this crazy creative anarchist. Haha! In the end, I think I got pretty close to the original Brand Designer’s intention and I’m super happy with these.

A huge thank-you to Bundy Tourism for giving the little Tudgee-meister the opportunity to deliver this project. It was a pleasure!

Shout out to my Dad, Mark Tedge for lending me his Photo skills for some of the photos in this post too! A true Tedge Family Project!

Lastly, a shout out to Grand Hotel Childers , The Federal Hotel and Paragon Theatre & Espresso bar - Just a few of our town’s heritage buildings featured in the brochure that still stand and operate as they did way back when, thanks to the committed and passionate owners and families throughout the buildings’ histories.

Looking forward to seeing this one in the hands of tourists everywhere around town! 😉

Stand back! Bluey got an edgy glow-up! 😜

Introducing Blue Dogs Tiling & Waterproofing, based right here in Childers!

Ryan, from Blue Dogs, recently moved to Childers with his lovely young family aiming to find another regional town that could offer a better lifestyle for his growing family. At the same time, Ryan has been biting at the bit to use his expertise in his own Tiling and Waterproofing Biz.

In the short time Ive gotten to know Ryan, I’ve found him to be a true legend that lives up to the qualities of cattle Farmer’s best mate, the trusted Bluey. Hard-working, loyal, caring, and an eagle-eye for detail and quality.

Having seen some of his recent waterproofing work around town, he has to be the cleanest, most fastidious Tradie this side of the Aussie bite.

If you need waterproofing and tiling done well in the Childers, Bundaberg and surrounding regions, it’s time to call on the dogs… the Blue Dogs!

PS - You know Tudgee loves a good mascot project!! 😉 Next Bucket List item, a footy mascot and emblem! Holla if your team’s mascot needs an upgrade!

Welcome to the fam, Arna Lane - Spinal Flow Practitioner 🙌

Arcana Healing (previously Spinal Flow Pro), started as a Website and Small Business Design Package. But after we started refining the Creative Direction, we knew there needed to be a little Logo Love as well.

With Spinal Flow Pro looking to grow and expand beyond Spinal Flow services, the brand needed to start grow alongside the business.

Within a week Arcana Healing was born and the rest just fell into place.

The Project included a refreshed Tri-Fold Brochure for Spinal Flow, new Business Card and A-Frame Sign Designs, and the launch of a new website.

Very excited to see Arcana Healing capturing the spirit of the lovely Arna, as she steps into her new Brand with some fresh Marketing Assets.

Have you been wondering where Tudgee’s been hiding every Wednesday morning? 🤷‍♂️

For the last few month’s I’ve been helping Childers National Seniors Social Branch, facilitating Digital Skills Workshops every week.

Over the 3 months we’ve gone through topics including:

✅ Scam Awareness and Security
✅ Setting up and using MyGov
✅ Google Maps
✅ Researching Family History Online
✅ Photography and Photo Storage
✅ Tips and Tricks for Searching on Google
✅ Making and taking Video Calls
The list goes on!

In addition to supporting a valuable local initiative, this gave the shy but crazy Tudgee Bear an opportunity to start practising public speaking again - something I’ve struggled with since having my first panic attack (some years ago now).

In the short time, I feel blessed to have met some amazing Childers locals.

Together we helped each other! 🙌❤️

I was more than happy to help share some of the digital skills I’ve acquired over the years, and they provided a supportive environment and care for me to start rebuilding my confidence.

Today marks our last day for the year and Graduation Day, and you know I had to quickly grab a Trademark Tudgee Crazy Selfie taken in a mad rush.

Crew, it's officially time!... I'm locking in my first "New-FY, New Me" goal! 🔒

As a creative, anytime I need to stock back up on sketch pads, I usually end up buying the typical Mon Marte pads from the nearest "cheap shop".

Eventually, after travelling everywhere with me in my back-pack, it becomes a crumpled up mess of paper. 🫩

All that time and effort sketching out works of art (or even not-so-works-of-art 😂) from every weird corner and crevice of my crazy mind, and what am I left with as a memento for all my passion?.... the dirty, crumpled mess you find at the end of kid's school day.

Okay, I may be a complete child at heart (So what 🤷‍♂️). But this time I wanted something that I could fill up over a longer period of time and end up with something special I can put on the shelf and look back on.

Not everything I sketch out on one sheet is worth a place in my portfolio, but that doesn't make it any less important - it's still a small piece of me and my journey that I should be able to appreciate.

Enter my new Field Book! This week I invested in this beautiful hand-made, 100% Genuine Leather Field Book, made by Jaaneman Art by Jane Marin.

Jane is another fellow creative in the area. Not only is she a talented artist, but these Journals, Art and Field Books, are just beautiful to hold.

My plan coming into the new Financial Year, is to be adding a new illustration into my Field Book every day, not matter where I am, and by the end of another year doing what I love, have a full book I can look back on.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the ultimate F.U. to A.I. Give me something real and meaningful any day of the weak.

If you need a sweet and juicy inoculation from all the fast-paced, techy hubub and appreciate a quality handmade product like me - you can grab one of these at Paragon Theatre & Espresso Bar's Perfectly Imperfect Collective, Thursday to Sunday.

We can be Field Book Buddies! 🤪

Does your brand fuel a culture!? 🤘🙂‍↕️🤘

Check it!...
Coral Auto Detailing reached out to me with a solid goal in mind. Soon after buying the business from its previous owner they found that the business was operating well, but it was missing something - community!

Layni, the absolute legend behind the wheel at Coral Auto Detailing (soon to be Ghostline) realised quickly that the existing brand wasn't bringing the tribe together - the Car Club Members, Car Enthusiasts, and Motor Minds whose wheels mean more than just A2B or a daily commute.

Layni understood something that many in business will go their whole lives without ever knowing... the best brands bring people together! Amen! 🙏

The Brand needed to bring the crew back together! It needed an icon and a symbol that the community could rally behind. 🫡

The Ghostline Komainu (Japanese Lion Dog) symbolises the brand's protection of its crew and the vehicles they consider part of the family.

Traditionally placed at the entrance of temples to protect those who attend to worship, Ghostline's Komainu is our Gearhead Guardian!!

The Japanese characters pictured alongside the Gearhead Guardian in some of the Logo Lock-Ups reads "family" and further symbolises Ghostline's Motor Mantra to Protect the Crew!

Welcome back home, crew!

Logo System Project Complete, Gearhead Guardian activated.

Don’t walk - F***ing Run! 🙂‍↕️✊

Primary School: I want to be a Comedian
High School: I want to go to NIDA and be an Actor
First Job: I just want to make money
Second Job: Banks are where the money is - literally

Somewhere along the line that little, arty kid with a knack for making people laugh stopped getting a say in my life.

20 years on I realise that little kid had it right the whole time.

There’s no respawning to the nearest checkpoint, no second chances, no restart button. When the time is right for you, don’t walk to what is right, f***ing run!!

Your worries, your fears, your second guessing, they are nothing, when you could be exactly where you want to be.
