Branding Archives - COS - a design agency in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

Lucanet is a Berlin-based financial software company

It provides Corporate Performance Management solutions for CFOs, covering consolidation, planning, reporting, ESG, and tax. Lucanet serves over 5,000 clients globally. We were asked initially to deploy their new brand, transition existing marketing assets and help develop it across various channels. The relationship has turned into a close and ongoing design support service.

COS Design are such an amazing creative team. It’s always a pleasure and most importantly a healthy and trusted GTM decision. Thanks for the partnership to date!

Rebranding a library of creative assets

We rebranded a huge range of marketing collateral, from business cards and stationery to presentations and report templates, enabling the company to transition to its new brand and continue business as usual on day one of the launch.

AVEVA’s software powers industries across the world, from water and energy to food and infrastructure.

We’ve assisted them through brand transition and growth since 2016. We began working with AVEVA at the beginning of significant change and rapid expansion for the business. In 2017 new branding was deployed, revitalising the look and feel of all its marketing collateral. We worked directly alongside the marketing teams to assist the rollout throughout 30 countries and various industries — helping develop and apply the branding across all channels and areas of contact with its customers.

Exhibitions & office environments.

We helped AVEVA rollout some amazing exhibitions stands for international events in the USA, Germany, Russia and the UAE. We also developed a branding theme for international offices with the same style.

A massive thank you for all the support over the past year. There were many occasions where we would have struggled without the calm, efficient responses and the consistently high quality of work was valued by the whole team.

Infographics, reports, case studies and white papers.

We developed a huge range of functional business materials for AVEVA in various formats — much of the content required data visualisation that enhanced the message and added clarity for the reader.

We have used COS Design for a number of years for all of our marketing, from the website to brochures, logos to newsletters. Not only do they always come up with a design that we are pleased with, but they do so with a responsive and helpful attitude which we really appreciate.

Laxton Properties

A sense of place

Each property development is uniquely named and provided with a distinct logo to differentiate it as a standalone location. These design elements are developed in accordance with the Laxton Properties brand style, ensuring a cohesive and consistent appearance across all projects.

Selling the dream

High-end print collateral is a necessity when selling quality homes. Use of textured and embossed papers, foiling and spacious, elegant layout designs all ensure the right feel is conveyed.

As with many of our clients, we support Proofpoint in a number of ways — creating marketing collateral for customer facing design and print to the development of microsites and branding for internal campaigns.

We have helped create a number of annual, internal sales themes to promote their international sales and marketing activities and recently we have assisted in the launch of a new magazine to drive engagement with existing EMEA customers.

On-brand creative assets for social media campaigns to exhibitions

From exhibitions stand design, animated adverts and videos to infographics and presentations — we serve a huge range of collateral for their different marketing requirements around the globe.

Aquaholic has found a niche market on YouTube, creating first person video tours that explore private yachts which are usually off-limits to the public.

The brief was primarily the creation of a logo that would work within the confines of a social media avatar but could also be used to brand merchandise. The emblem needed to be distinct amongst other YouTube avatars, feature the channel name whilst also capturing a feel for the content it was serving. A tall order, but one we fulfilled successfully.

COS Design developed concepts precisely in line with my requirements. Having chosen my favourite, they produced a range of styles for different applications creating a cohesive, recognisable and professional look across all media. I couldn’t be more pleased with their efforts.

Registering the trademark

COS Design worked with intellectual property specialists, Cole Francis, in the application and protection of registering the name and logo as a trademark along with the necessary classifications for applying it to branded goods.

Andy Pearson is a top-class web developer and has many, many interests.

One of those interests is miniature painting. He developed a web app, Paint Pad, to allow enthusiasts to create, share and discover great “recipes” for their miniatures. The community is growing and needed a brand to support it.

⁠I was blown away by the design and concepts that COS produced for Paint Pad. A truly unique and polished approach to the brand.

The recipe

The branding itself is pared back to allow the images and ‘recipes’ from the community members to add the colour and interest. The coloured circles represent open paint pots and, in the app UI, can be generated from the recipes of the current user so that their experience is personalised.

More than a lick of paint

We created concepts for logos with animation and audio branding, overall visual identity, web app UI and merch such as t-shirts. Andy loved the result and plans to implement the brand on Paint Pad as the community grows.
