Changes to branding of the Design Consultancy were put into place to address the new target market. The previous 'Art Design' focus of the KITTENBAGRIVER.NET concept branding no longer applied. The 'Professional Design' branding of ERVIN-WARD.COM was developed to communicate the practice of effective & affordable design solutions for small business.
The resulting identity illustrates a cohesive visual style without the need for a logo. Bold use of all-caps font with a bright colour pallet communicates the positive & active nature of the Consultancy. The business cards & community press ads below illustrate this branding style.
