Local sonic samurai, Danny Atkinson Music has been crushing gigs around Queenstown for a number of years and needed a signature logo that he could use on his new fresh socials and website.

Flowing custom script typeface with Dannys favourite personalised letter-forms included.

Killer logo mark (Modernist simple Stripey D with drop A and the string of the guitar over the top giving the effect of a guitar's sound hole)

Colour palette takes hues and values from Dannys favourite Stratocaster and works on a multitude of backgrounds and materials.

Be sure to catch this polyphonic prophet playing a plethora from his playlist in pubs and premises around our piece of paradise.

All round great guy, Ricky Lawrence has gone solo after over 30 years as a paramedic (amongst other things) and set up his own company that offers consultancy in both medical and equality training. We worked together on his concept to have a badge logo including iconic imagery from the healthcare sector (rod of Asclepius / Caduceus anyone?)

Starting as always in black and white to make sure these can work on any media we brainstormed ideas and initial designs before deciding to move forward with these.
Couple of variations of main logo and reduced R letter form for a profile pic.
Customised typography and colour palette to suit the health sector included.

You Looking at me? What are you pointing at?

Digital art challenge accepted!
Adam Bouglas (Local legend and manager of a great slice of Ireland down under, Pog Mahones Irish Pub) wanted something fun to go in the Gents and came up with a great idea…Cue some good old Guinness-inspired art homage to John Gilroy’s famous adverts.

Hand-drawn in Pro-create, painted to scale in Photoshop, tidied up in Illustrator and printed by the magicians at Print Central Queenstown.

Are you looking sharp and professional point of sale imagery?

Skycity and Lion NZ needed some tent cards to highlight their “wines of the month”

Pig and Whistle QTN has some fresh new winter stylings outside the bar.

Lion NZ and Bombay Sapphire NZ commissioned me to renew this iconic bars front windows again… with something more seasonally suitable.

With some cheeky copy, relaxing imagery, Bombay’s innovative branding and a smattering of photoshop editing…this was the final outcome.

Clean, fresh and oh how I’d like to be there right now….

Mario Pasquale D'Angelo wanted to re-brand since taking over his company in 2019. This new, clean badge can work in mono-tone or, with the chosen red. The red, as well as the negative space dragon pays homage to his Welsh heritage and creates a distinct monogram mark that is both powerful and instantly recognisable no matter the size. Be sure to check out the new page ( D.Rend Solutions ) and some of his excellent work, including the facade of the new Southern Cross Hospital in Shotover country.

VECTOR! VECTOR! VECTOR!

Do you have or need a workable vector of your promotional materials, stationary or signage?

Vector based imagery can be infinitely scaled with no loss in image quality. For clean, professional, corporate design, it is the digital standard and your business should be sure to have workable vector versions of all you branding assets ready for printing or signage.

Canyon brewing has 4 amazing pictures in their restaurant that shows the brewing process in their establishment however somewhere along the lines the workable files were lost. They commissioned me to re-vector the entire process…which I did (with a couple of cheeky updates). Now they have a fresh digital Vectored version that they can use for tour pamphlets, merchandise, clothing and any additional signage they might require.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or are looking to get your branding assets up to date and vectored!

Emblem logo involving 2 dichotomous wolves, light/dark, night/ day - Josh definitely set the challenge for his personal training business and recent stomped qualification. We included the norse runes for health and healing/ recovery (tenets of Josh's philosophy) and also relating to the legend of Skolll and Hati, I drew the final logo by hand in Procreate then vectored and polished in Illustrator. Turned out super clean when printing too. If you're ever in the Halifax area and wanna get ripped, this is the guy to go see!

We updated their outside menus whilst trying to to stop salivating over another exquisite menu from head chef Ben Norfolk.
Drop in for a cheeky few drinks (Co**se reviver No.2 anyone?) and check out the new additions.

QTN Pizza Legends, Fat Badgers Pizza Bar Queenstown team wanted to refresh their outside area, manager extraordinaire Zoe came up with the idea to riff on Cassius Marcellus Coolidges famous dogs playing poker paintings.... So I set about getting drawing badgers.... 7 individual Badgers later, those talented folks at Print Central Queenstown had it up and looking crisp as always. Composited in Illustrator with a mix of vector and hand painted (in photoshop) illustrations, we were super stoked on how it turned out.
