After the excitement of Tramlines last week, Sheffield pride continues to grow as the final leg of the British Cycling Elite Circuit Race Series comes to the city for the Sheffield Grand Prix.

Olympic Gold medallist Ed Clancy and a selection of the very best cyclists in the country go head to head in a race around the city.

National television was covering the event and the city turned out to watch the athletes tear up the streets.

Our resident photographer was luckily enough to have V.I.P access and was there to capture every moment. Here are a few shots taken from the shoot.

Congrats to Mark Cavendish for his latest victory in the Le Tour De France.

We have had a keen eye on events over in France, after our recent work updating the CNP website with a SKY PRO Cycling / Tour De France theme.

The plan is to update the site during the event, to coincide with the SKY PRO cycling team’s success. Working closely with SKY we developed various skins to show off the team and cheer on the boys!

Our recent work for Bagot Road Garage, included a complete rebrand of the company, a job were very proud of.

So it was nice to see our lovingly crafted logo attached to the Renault Electric Car ‘Twizy’.

The ultra-compact footprint of Renault Twizy (length: 2,338 millimeters / width: 1,237 millimeters / height: 1,454 millimeters) is ideally suited to city motoring, and eco-friendly as it is electric.

Take a look at these wee beauties, high-end business cards that we have produced for our client edge:media.

After we developed a few concepts, we arrived at ‘the word edge’ and how it is integrated into other words and phrases, they are copywriters after all!

One of the directives we received was to ensure there was a sophisticated image on display, so we decided a GF Smith board and silver foil block was in order.

Were alive!!!

We have been so busy with projects, updating the website, new born babies and operations, we simply have had no time to give the blog / social media any love!

There will be a news article on what we have been up to soon!

In the meantime, we recently did a photoshoot with one of our clients Falles Motor Group, some pretty cool shots emerged, here’s a selection…

design understood stationery

Heres our fantastic new business cards!

We are like kids in a sweet shop, giddy as can be 😀

Our new cards have been designed to be touched, to be looked at and enjoyed. To acheive the look, take GF Smith colorplan pale grey board, mix in embossed dots and add a splash of black foil block for the lettering, not cheap! …but worth it!
