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’.

The Brand Surgery rates Benefit cosmetics packaging as the best cosmetic packaging by far!

OMG! We love Benefit cosmetics packaging! It’s not just fantastically sexy, it delivers what the packaging promises.

Okay, so we’ve been a bit slow updating our blog, the reason is that I have been celebrating my 40th birthday in true style, being Queen Victoria – I received two weeks of birthday celebrations. One of the many gorgeous birthday gifts I received was this Sexy Starlet cosmetic set by Benefit. Now, I have been mesmorised by the Benefit counter in Boots many times – the packaging design draws me in, and I find I just stare at it for yonkie yoodles. How I maintain self-control mystifies me. Or is it that I am determined not to be won over by packaging? I used to wonder if the product inside was as good as the packaging design promises.

FACT: Benefit cosmetics is truly as sexy as it’s packaging

Hooray! For once I have not been disappointed. Benefit cosmetics are as gorgeous as their packaging. The Foundation Faker is orgasmic – it feels lovely when you apply it – it beats my two ‘expensive’ foundations by miles. The CORALista blusher is to die for – the colour lights up my face – even at 40! And the BADgal lash mascara … Well I haven’t tried this yet, as I am using up an older mascara, but I may just have to be a BADgal and bin the old mascaras. Sorry landfill

What is it that makes Benefit packaging so sexy, irresistable and so god damn cute?

Maybe it’s the pink – we all know that The Brand Surgery love a strong dose of bright pink! Now, we constantly educate our clients to keep their branding consistent, yet Benefit packaging design is different on each product. How many different fonts can one brand include on their packaging? Their designers are breaking all the rules of good design – but the broken rules work so incredibly well. I get excited just by looking at the packaging, it hypotises me – it is irresistably retro – and I have now been converted into a 40 year old Benefit girl – that is a Benefit cosmetics girl – not a benefits girl!

The Brand Surgery ranking table has never looked so healthy. The only points lost were due to Benefit not stating whether the products were recyclable. Giving that most the Benefit products being made of card – we guess they can be recycled. If anyone at Benefit reads this – it would be good to have the recycling logo on the box to encourage people to recycle. Having said that, I can’t bring myself to throw away the packaging. I keep all the products in their cute, sexy little boxes Well done to everyone at Benefit!
