WDE is an engineering firm in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The company specialises in the rental and repair of fork lift trucks, and it was my role to create a new identity and card design.

Tammy Lenski LLC is a business that deals with conflict resolution in the workplace, and Dr. Tammy Lenski approached me to re-design the company brand identity, business card and letterhead.
I’ve always found it a pleasure doing business with someone I know, and this time was certainly no exception. Read on for a detailed insight into the design process.
The Logo Design Love Awards are open for submission.
It’s a personal project to give exposure to talented graphic designers, and to promote excellence in logo design. There’s a fantastic panel of judges on board, who have kindly donated their time simply because they too have the logo design love.
