Actium – the ones that got away

Having just completed the rebranding for Actium Design we thought you might be interested in seeing some of the ideas that slipped through the net. As many design agencies will testify some of the best ideas are often left on the cutting room floor. See December news for chosen logo.

New identity for Chinese restaurant

Blossom is a Chinese restaurant based in Gloucester. Working closely with interior designer Stephen Quiddington we created a fresh and modern brand identity which complements the new chic interior. The symbol is based on geometric patterns prevalent in Chinese graphic design. We are currently working on menus and signage.

Three Peaks Challenge 2012

On 18th May 2012 myself and my three brothers will be climbing the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in 24 hours (including travelling between the three mountains)! We may even run the final mountain, energy permitting. We’re doing this to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and in memory of our brother Philip who died in 1989 of a heart complication. If you’d like to sponsor me you can do so at our virginmoney fund raising page.

New identity for interior designers

Actium Design is a multi-disciplinary design consultancy, whose work ranges from major architectural projects to interior and furniture design. Actium focuses on three core areas: the client’s needs and expectations; the integrity of the design; and the functionality of the completed project.

We’ve created an identity which draws inspiration from this philosophy and is inspired by architectural forms, with the logo resembling both an elevation and a plan. Dark blues and silver reflect the prestigious nature of the company’s designs. We are currently working on stationery, a case bound book and a website.
