Meconopsis make-over

Justin Morgan followed the discussion about the idents, and added some thoughtful comments (see this SimplyDV thread). One thing led to another, and Justin has ended up doing an entire makeover for Meconopsis! Good news indeed.

When the first draft design came through, we just knew this was perfect. He'd taken the Meconopsis idea, thought about the purpose and image of the firm, and produced a simplified, clean design that summed up the kind of image we want to present to the world. So, instead of just a new ident, we've got a whole corporate feel and design - letterheads, business cards, library box and on-disk designs... the whole shebang.


For those who don't know Justin's day job is for a large corporate graphic design company (which I'll mention if he wants me to!) and he's interested in writing scripts and producing his own short films, hence his input into Simply DV. Hopefully he'll go independent some time - in which case the space for his website will go here:

... with a strong recommendation from us. He handled the whole process with consumate professionalism, listened closely to our feedback, incorporated ideas, and above all was able to produce clear clean visual design. As you can tell, we're happy bunnies.



Some feedback:

"That's a lovely piece of graphic design, folks. It gives the business a "million dollar" impression. Excellent! (I'm jealous - looking for more business Justin?).

"Strong, bold, stylish, clean lines, beautiful font, high impact whilst retaining all the classic subtleties you originally aspired to. Shall I go on? (I could (easily) - simple, blue, deep, elegant ...) "
