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.

A new 12 page quarto size brochure designed by us for GKN Land Systems was unveiled at the international AgConnect exhibition held recently in Atlanta, Georgia.

The brochure updates and supercedes the previous edition which we originally produced some 12 months ago and will shortly appear as an A4 version for pan-European distribution.

Also launched at the show was a new set of agricultural wheels product data sheets designed by us on behalf of GKN Wheels, the world’s leading manufacturer of off highway wheels for the global agricultural, mining and construction industries.

ICON account director, Geoffrey Ainsworth admits the production schedule was extremely tight on both these projects.

“Thanks to the very close co-operation of the client, our creative team and our printers we were able to overcome the considerable difficulties of the weather and the Christmas and New Year holiday to get these jobs printed, despatched and delivered in time for the opening day of the exhibition on 7 Jan.”

The Gloucester Ski & Snowboard Centre in Matson Lane is a popular year round venue, but at this time of year what better way is there to celebrate the office party than with a thrilling downhill tubing session!

This redesigned promotional leaflet is one of many we’ve designed for the Centre over a number of years. Unfortunately the Ski Centre didn’t have any new photography, so we had to come up with a stylised approach to give the leaflet a new fresh look and feel.

Look out for their newly printed price list and A5 folder coming soon!

With facilities in over 30 countries and over 5000 employees, GKN Land Systems is a world leading manufacturer and component supplier of off highway wheels, drive shafts, tractor attachment systems, clutches, gearboxes and structural assemblies, and a key business within the international engineering group GKN plc.

This new portable display is part of a wider project we are engaged in to design and produce some 14 banner systems for use worldwide.

Our latest, updated brochure is about to go to print and will be ready shortly.

We’ve been excitedly but carefully checking the proofs with the same professional eye for detail that we apply to all our work. The format follows in the footsteps of the highly successful layout we first adopted two years ago and comprises five loose inserts enclosed within a pocket folder.

Each of the inserts is devoted to our key specialisations: design, branding and internet with additional inserts featuring a profile/introduction and our OTPS v5.0 content management system.

If you would like a copy of our new brochure as soon as it’s published, please call Geoffrey Ainsworth on 01452 305303 or email geoffrey.ainsworth@iconnet.co.uk

We have been working closely with the Cheltenham AG&M for some time now and you can see examples of our creative work in print and online.

Manufactured from 100% recycled material, Linpac Environmental’s Twin Bin has been
designed to meet the growing demand for responsible disposal of waste with its twin
apertures – one for mixed recyclables and one for landfill.

This leaflet is part of a wide range of product promotion material, both online as well as
in print, that we have recently produced on behelf of this client.

A new direct mail piece designed by us on behalf of client Linpac Environmental,
features a range of specialist products aimed at the food processing industry.

Ingredients tubs and dispensing units, bakery trays, wheeled containers and dollies all
feature in this 6 page mailer which incorporates a perforated pre-paid reply section.

This mailer follows hard on the heels of a recently designed all-new product brochure
emphasising Linpac Enviromental’s solutions for the food processing industry.

The May – August edition of the Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum brochure is out now. It features ‘A City on a Hill’ by Josselin Bodley on the cover (1968).

For the leaflet announcing their forthcoming centenary annual general meeting and conference,
the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers wanted a striking and distinctive design; it needed
to have gravitas to be in keeping with the business in hand, to be informative and professional, yet
incorporating creative flair and style.

Our solution was a full colour six page A5 leaflet with an original front cover design feature and clean, crisp typography throughout. The result? A delighted client.
