I was recently approached by a newcomer in the record label field, asking if I could assist with their logo design.

When approached to design a new brand identity for Miskeeto, I was given some background info about the company. It went a little something like this.
Myeloma UK is a Scottish-based cancer charity, helping thousands of people every year throughout the UK. Myeloma is a cancer of the bone marrow, mainly affecting older-aged people.
I was recently approached to design a brand-identity logo for StressWell™, for use in web and print-based promotional materials.
StressWell™ is a holistic stress management and wellness program, and my client wished to include a seahorse visual in the final logo design. The rationale for the seahorse inclusion is as follows:
Drumryden is a new architectural firm in Scotland. The client asked for a simplistic, solid and angular text logo that symbolised the strength behind their developments. Red was stipulated as the colour of choice.
I was approached by the established Scottish locksmith, Trevor Davidson, who was in need of a fresh identity to match his strong reputation and to replace his dated corporate appearance.
The brief stated that a padlock or key icon was to remain in some shape or form, and I wanted to unify the name and mark in a way that wasn’t seen in the old logo design.
