SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PROGRAMME
Approached by the client with their established course, existing name and a request for speedy turnaround. We jumped into the challenge at haste, with our green thumbs on. The brand needed to reflect professionalism and the more formal side of education, while at the same time show the organic process of growth. A good deal of brain storming and jotting down of ideas took place and from the...

Blacksheep sponsor, coordinate the campaign throughout the year and organise the awards night.

IT'S NOT OK
In February this year, there were 246 reported incidents of family violence. That's an appalling statistic made worse by the fact that this figure relates to Manawatu alone.

HEARTS & HOMES

LIMELIGHT
In the Blacksheepdesign office, we love food. So when Expressions Director, Stephanie Cottrill, asked us to build a new brand for her new café. We jumped at the opportunity. Our brief was to create a contemporary and theatrical identity. We set to task with the existing name ‘Limelight' and gathered our creative minds. The outcome is an identity that communicates...
