Nigel is celebrating the big 50 today and everyone here at ICON net would like to wish him a very happy birthday!

We recently had the challenge of creating a spanking new brand for our long term clients, SEA.

The aim was to create a new brand and logo that was non sector specific, as well as being modern and striking within their business field.

Working with their internal marketing team we helped to produce various items for the brand launch, including stationery, report covers, data sheets/case study templates, coasters and mouse mats.

Along with the printed design material we also updated the website to fit the new brand guidelines and produced a mobile friendly version of the site.

Some of the product specific promotional material carry QR codes which link to mobile friendly pages, allowing for more information to be available on the go! The beauty of this is that SEA can update this information using our content management system; making sure their technical information is always up to date.

If your business could benefit from a unique, fully rounded digital solution then contact us today!

Our studio off College street, Gloucester, is a great creative base and the year has just flown by, although it feels as if we’ve been here forever. The memories of connecting broadband, carrying boxes and shifting around desks now seem very distant!

This year also sees us reach a major milestone, as we celebrate 15 years trading as a limited company!

We’ll keep you posted with the details.

The recently launched interactive microsite has several dynamic features to help the user to get involved with the new building and really immerse themselves with what’s happening via a live webcam, an interactive cross section of the museum, as well as a virtual walkthrough.

Our marketing campaign is not just digital however, we’ve also produced several innovative printed solutions for the Art Gallery & Museum, including flyers, banners and bespoke business card wraps, featuring a QR code that takes you straight to the mobile friendly microsite, when scanned with a smart phone.

Pauline is retiring in a couple of weeks and popped in to bid farewell (chocolates in hand) and things got a little emotional as we presented her with a lovely bunch of flowers and nice box of chocolates.

We have worked with SEA and Pauline for over 12 years and will be sad to see her leave but are now looking forward to working closely with Nadia her replacement, as work continues on projects for SEA.

Best wishes on your retirement Pauline, enjoy yourself!

Following the much anticipated draw, Anita Holford of Writing Services was the winner and recipient of a brand new, streamline mobile website. The mobile version features content from the main website, in a more compact and easily accessible mobile format.

We hope you enjoy your new handheld site Anita!

It’s true! With most of our recent blog entries focusing on the slick new websites and all things digital that we’ve been creating, you may have forgotten that we are just as talented at print design. Our print design team have been busy of late and have produced an array of print material for a number of long standing, as well as new clients, ranging from large global corporates, to SMEs and start up ventures.

These successful marketing campaigns have been produced for GKN, IABM Training Academy, Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres, Ash & Co, SEA, Metalock, Leafield, Safer Gloucester, SCS Ltd and Baroque Ardor. As well as brochures, advertisements, leaflets and newsletters (including foreign language and American Quarto page size versions), we also create stunning banners for exhibitions, helping our clients stand out in their field. They come to us with a wide range of branding criteria, some with a blank canvas; allowing us a great creative license, and some with strict brand guidelines; having to work closely with their marketing team to achieve the best possible results.

If you feel that your business could benefit from any of these print based marketing materials get in touch today, to see how we can help.

The office is winding down this afternoon for our Christmas break, hoping not to get any last minute requests for Christmas themed home pages!

From everyone here at ICON.net, have a Merry Christmas and a cracking new year.

See you in 2012! the 3rd of January, to be precise – when the office is open again for hopefully another busy year.

Take care indulging people.

The eCommerce site is run by our OTPS Content Management system that features product options including gift wrapping, inscriptions and personalisation; to really give the website a well rounded, exclusive feel.

Our relationship with Halcyon Days has always been a productively creative one – as you can see from this previous post from over 2 years ago!

For our latest update we’re going to show you the re-design of the the new Healthworks Recruitment website, which is now established within the Healthcare world.

Healthwork’s aim is to forge strong, knowledge based working partnerships with their clients and candidates in both the NHS and Healthcare sectors. They are a key Healthcare recruitment agency and offer an important platform between the potential employers and employees.

The new site runs on our own OTPS content management system that allows Healthworks to easily update the content on the website, add client testimonials and includes a members only area. Our system even integrates with a third party recruitment package that allows all of the jobs on the site to stay seamlessly synced.
