Costa Oil Illustration and Packaging:

Costa Oil is Proto Restaurant Group’s brand new olive oil and it means a lot to owner Andy Sparsis. The Brand Surgery designed all the packaging and the oil logo to display the pride of the oil and show customers how special it really is.

Balik Spa Branding and Logo Design:

Balik Spa is a new Fish Pedicure Spa in Worthing. They came to The Brand Surgery to create a brand identity, logo design and website design. We have given them a funky website holding page whilst we work on their main website. Check it out here.

Manhattan Website:

Manhattan Furniture hasn’t had a new website for years and they felt it was time to give themselves a bit of an update so they came to The Brand Surgery. We recommend you refresh aspects of your brand every 2-3 years so we were very happy to help. The brand new website is due for launch in the next few weeks and everyone at Manhattan and The Brand Surgery are extremely excited about it.

Stagecoach Publishing and Website:

The Brand Surgery design the Stagecoach Coastliner and Buzz magazines for Stagecoach South. These magazines go out to all bus customers on the Coastliner services and are read by thousands of people. We have also been involved in the design and development of the Coastliner 700 website which gives you all the information you need on the route as well as adverts for various attractions along the way.

While we’re on the subject of success, Vicky Vaughan received her certificate for the NVQ Level 3 in Management she passed earlier on in the year. Everyone at The Brand Surgery is extremely proud of Vicky and we thought we’d share a picture of Vicky with her certificate:

The Brand Surgery has been carrying out lots of work for The Pan Asia Group this week, Carabao Thai Restaurant and Steak House in particular. Having designed The Pan Asia Groups website – including Carabao and Mr. Toys Flying Wok, we were asked to use our branding to create some unique and interesting products for the group.

Notice something different about the background to this blog? That’s what you’ll see when you pick up a menu at Carabao Thai Restaurant and Steak House. We have designed the paper for the menu’s at the restaurant and have produced sheets so that they can re-print their menus in-house whenever they need to make an amendment to prices or dishes – cost effective and simplistic.

The Brand Surgery have also been working on a Van wrap for the new Pan Asia Group vehicle. They wanted something which would stand out, but also look very sleek and professional. Check out our preview below and watch out for this work of art driving out and about very soon indeed.

Now The Brand Surgery brings you an exclusive; The Pan Asia Group is launching it’s very own loyalty card! The card will give holders exclusive offers and discounts at the 3 Pan Asia Group Restaurants – Carabao, Flying Wok and Tuk Tuk. The artwork for the card is now complete and can also be seen below. The Brand Surgery is also working on an upgrade to the Pan Asia Group website to accompany the card so that members can apply for a card online as well as check up on the latest available offers.

Keeping customer loyalty is very key to any successful company and we highly recommend you find a way to retain the business of your customers. Do you think membership cards could help your company?

Proto Restaurant Group owner Andy Sparsis and his family have always been involved in producing high quality food and cuisine and over the last few years have been working hard to achieve European statorship for their land in Cyprus in order to produce ‘Costa Oil’ and as such the oil will be marketed here in the UK.

So here’s a little preview of some of the artwork we have been designing for the oil:

Costa's Liquid Gold Olive Oil

Proto Restaurant Group came to The Brand Surgery for this project as it is something very close to the heart of Andy Sparsis – the groups owner – and they needed a company they could trust to encapsulate the concept of the oil.

The Sparsis family believe the secret of the successful olive oil comes not only from the land, but from the centuries of people whom have devoted their lives to the nurturing and devotion to what they believe, and still believe in today and they wish you to enjoy this oil with your family and friends.

The Brand Surgery have worked closely with Proto on several other projects such as designing and developing their new website as well as continuous blogging as part of our successful SEO scheme so it seemed right for us to continue our fantastic working relationship through the birth of ‘Costa Oil’.

Dateband website has gone live!

Join Date Band and receive a FREE one months membership (first 500 people)

We are pleased to announce the birth of our latest website! Date Band™ – The online dating site with a HUGE difference.

What is the difference? We hear you cry. Well, this is how it all started:

Our client, Lisa was fed up with being the constant shoulder to her friends when their online dating experiences were always going wrong.  Her friends’ complaints all had the same ring to them:

“He was nothing like his picture”
“he was definitely older than his profile said”
“his profile said he was athletic, which is funny because he didn’t look like he had any exercise in a long time”.
And the list goes on …

So, Date Band™ was conceived in the brain of Lisa, who thought there must be another way for her friends to meet people, chat online, and be out in public to be spotted.

So, how does it work? Well, you have lots of choices:-

• Join the website and receive a FREE one months membership (first 500 people)
• Join the website for a 3 day trial, for as little as £4.99, just as an on line member, chat and make friends;
• Upgrade your membership, and get a Date Band™ with the company logo on, and wear to your next BBQ, group run, party, conference, etc and download your ICU cards:
• See that person, always in the same place, each week?  Are they single? Well put a card under their windscreen with the company logo on and your username and let them come find you!;
• Go to a supermarket (for example) with your iPhone, login to the Date Band™ app, and on your profile page under “recent locations” enter your location and whoever is online will know where you are or have been. Perhaps you have been spotted?!?!

It really couldn’t be easier to meet people, with the same interests in your area at the sight of a Date Band™.

The Brand Surgery is proud to be working with Date Band™. We designed the logo, all the branding, the look and feel of the website, the social networking part functionality, the database, CMS and the Date Band™ marketing collateral.

Rebranded Coastliner buses are launched

As you may know, we publish the Coastliners Magazine on behalf of Stagecoach, with our sister company Pulse.

We always work hard to ensure the cover of the magazine will not date – especially as the Coastliners magazine has a shelf-life of six months. Although this magazine ran over Christmas, we didn’t want to make the cover too Christmassy as it had to last through to March 2010.

Hidden illustration talent

The boss – and original Brand Doctor, Vicky Vaughan, decided it was time to unveil her hidden illustration talents and created the above masterpiece! Wow! She illustrated the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and The Brighton Dome, which represented the Coastliner route from end-to-end.  The added benefit of this illustrated cover design, was that the colours Vicky chose, followed the Stagecoach South corporate identity and  branding. The cover was presented to our client, approved, then printed and is actually still in circulation now.

Not long after the magazines were printed, we received a call from Stagecoach South, who were so impressed with Vicky’s illustrations, they commissioned her to illustrate six further landmarks across the south coast in the same style as she created for the cover.

Official launch of illustrations

Illustrations of landmarks along the Coastliners route

We’ve been keeping this work top secret at the request of our client, until now! At last, we have been given permission to tell the world about where the landmarks would appear. As you can see in the photo above, Vicky’s illustrations were part of a design for Coastliner buses.

There are 40 buses in total which will be wrapped in this unique design, and there are four different designs:

• Worthing
• Brighton
• Chichester
• Portsmouth

Vicky says: “I was so proud to see the illustrations in their finished format. The illustrations took a long time, especially the HMS Victory with all it’s ropes, and the Chichester Market Cross with all the fine detail. It was so worth it, so see my illustrations printed so large. I believe these buses will be cruising across from Brighton to Portsmouth for the next few years, and I certainly won’t mind being stuck behind one of the Coastliner buses in future!”

Illustrations can be used for a number of marketing solutions

Now we have unleashed this creative talent from Queen Vic, why not consider commissioning Vicky to do one for you. Illustrations are excellent for:

• Websites
• Brochures and leaflets
• Posters
• Newsletters and magazines
• Books
• Exhibition graphics
• Livery signage
• Packaging
