We Are Phoenix – Design for print and web in Bristol

Action Coach has received their new banner stands, new outcome being that Adrian Collins message is coming across loud and clear.

The old style banners are very sports orientated, leading prospective clients to believe that Adrian was a sports coach, not a business coach. The new design needed to be clean and clear using the Action Coach colours of red and blue.

After coming up with 5 different initial designs, two were chosen and taken further, tweaking until they were both exactly what Adrian was looking for.

Now his message is clear, gone are the action sports and people now know from a quick glance exactly what his business does.

Loving this testimonial…had a really good day today and this was the icing on the cake!

“I have used Joanne on a number of occasions and her quality of work is outstanding. I see all manner of businesses in my field and she stands out as having one of the most positive and supportive work ethics I have come across. The work she has undertaken for me has been of the highest quality and her approach to customer service is second to none. She keeps you fully updated on progress and is an expert in her field. I recommend Joanne without hesitation to clients and associates.”

I had a lovely email yesterday from 80 Twenty Projects, it couldn’t get much better than this!

‘80 Twenty Projects have used Jo Bray from We Are Phoenix Design on several occasions for different projects. Every time she has come up trumps with good visual design at an affordable price. She has that inate knack of being able to lend her hand to different media, with equal levels of success. I would say that we stuck lucky appointing her for our design work. Thanks Jo…’

Bristol Telecom Solutions approached me to look at their corporate identity. After a discussion with the director, Phoenix had a definite direction to follow.

6 designs were initially produced, finally whittling it down to two logos. After a few tweaks the final version was chosen. The company now have a brand which is being implemented across the board.

And today I received a lovely letter from the director…

Bradley Stoke Small Business Forum has a new look website. The existing site was looking tired and needed refreshing. It needed to be easier to navigate and easier to find members. Using the graphics that already existed on banner stands etc, Phoenix came up with a new concept, which finally went live in May. What do you think?

Jo has hung up her running shoes for a change and is taking to the pool for another sponsered event!

The swimathon took place on Saturday 6th March at the Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre. A team of six had to  swim in a relay for an hour to see how many lengths they can clock up. They finally managed 117 between them!

The charity chosen is Bristol based The Jessie May Trust, who provide nursing care at home for children with a terminal illness in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire areas.

The team have managed to smash the target of £500, hitting the £700 mark. It would be nice to help them to reach £1000, visit http://www.justgiving.com/Bradley-Stoke-Swimathon to sponsor them!

Phoenix has joined a local business group called Bradley Stoke Small Business Forum. It’ll be great to keep in contact with other local businesses in the area, keep up to date with what is going on and look forward to any networking opportunities that arise. Its a great group, for more information visit www.bssbf.co.uk.
