Sharcore Constructions

Sharcore Construction - Logo and Brand Design

DESIGN BRIEF

Create an unique brand mark that sets “Sharcore Constructions” apart from their opposition.

New logo design is to be; bold, eye-catching and clearly identifiable from a distance. The design needs to be versatile as vehicle signage must work on both light (White) and dark (Charcoal) coloured vehicles & trailers.

It was suggested to keep existing corporate colours of; Orange, Black/Grey & White although, consideration will be give to other colour options if presented. The design and/or elements of the design need to work as social media icon for consistent branding. EG. Facebook Circular Icon

Consideration to be given to the fact that 'Sharcore' is sometimes referred to as 'Share-Core'.


The Solution

The new, ‘Sharcore Constructions’ logo has been designed to be clean, bold and easily recognisable. Using clean lines and striking colour creates impact. A ‘house’ icon was designed to add a visual element that is easily identifiable. Also splitting the word Sharcore helps readability of the words ‘Shar’ and ‘Core’ hopefully reduce the misinterpretation of ‘Share-care’.

The design is strong, bold and versatile which works well on both light and dark backgrounds.

Shepp Show Branding

In 2015, the Shepparton Agricultural Society wanted to rejuvenate their annual show with a focus on bringing back more agricultural for families to enjoy. The goal was to provide a family friendly atmosphere with hands-on displays showcasing local food, agriculture and entertainment. 


– THE BRIEF –

I was asked to develop a new identity for the 'Shepparton Agricultural Show' that was fun, energetic and represents the region's agriculture industry. 

– The solution –

The new logo was designed to be cheerful and inviting with a focus on engaging with families. A cheerful cow mascot was designed to add personality that also links to the region's agricultural industry. In my research I found that most people referred to the show as simply 'Shepp Show'. It was decided to run with this keeping the name short and punchy.


A 'name the mascot' competition was held to promote the new brand and generate interest in the upcoming show. It was a great success and the new name was chosen...

'Maisie Moo'

iProperty Indonesia

I was requested to develop branding for a new Indonesian Real Estate business called 'iProperty Indonesia'.

I was requested to develop branding for a new Indonesian Real Estate business called 'iProperty Indonesia'.

Indonesia is a very popular tourist destination located between North West Australia and South East Asia and has a population of around 255 Million. 

 

– The DESIGN brief –

The client wanted a fresh, modern design that would appeal to property buyers located outside of Indonesia.

– THE SOLUTION – 

I developed a logo that resembles a map location pin that incorporates an opening door giving the design a homely / dwelling feel. The negative space of the door and circular pin creates the letter 'i' for 'iProperty'. The result in bringing these elements together creates a unique, easily recognisable icon. Red was chosen for it's boldness and strength and is also used in the Indonesian flag.

– THE BRIEF –

BondPro wanted to re-energise their brand with an updated look. The brief was to create a new logo that could boldly represent the external cladding systems they install on the outside of buildings. The client also requested that the new design needed to continue to use their corporate colours as they had heavily invested in incorporating these colour throughout their business.
