New and rolling design trends of 2015

There is little more essential to a branding agency than a strong brand. Imagine trying to sell windows from a boarded up shop and you’ll see what I mean.

So here’s our story, it’s been ten years in the making…

A huge thank you to everyone that attended and helped to make our 10th birthday such a special one!

Ezra, Ez, Easy-E, Crazy Frog, Newest Recruit of the designdough posse – welcome!

You may or may not remember this hideously tacky Christmas film we made last year…

In the summer of 2015, we were honoured to be approached by BadWolf and developed a bold and daring brand strategy and visual in order to further establish them within South Wales and beyond…

We launched our current website on 8th April 2016 – that’s 580 days ago.

In usual designdough fashion, we got carried away with Christmas festivities, projects, marketing and…er hum…parties, that our December blog fell by the wayside.

After wheezing our way through 2017, we decided that 2018 should be our year to get out of our comfort zones (and comfortable waist-bands) and try something brand new.

Our new site gives users an immersive experience of what it’s like to work with the Cardiff, Wales-based creative design firm.

Reminisce with us for a second, if you will, and join us in feeling hideously old…

Mount Stuart House in Cardiff Bay has been our home for the last four years, but the building was recently sold. This meant one thing: We’re moving!

It was time to start the design process and put forward a recognisable, progressive and contemporary visual identity that still honoured the organisations rich background and heritage.

Win a beautifully designed and considered brand and website for your start-up

Long. Time. No. See.

Get used to never feeling comfortable ever again. Saying that, it’s the most fulfilling, enjoyable and exciting journey I’ve ever been on.

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new lifeeeee, for our website. And we’re feeling goooood!

It’s been a rather unconventional start for Michael and us – he’s been with us for a month but we’ve only met him twice…

We are excited today to launch Brand Labs 2020. A competition that offers one Welsh business (three years or younger) the opportunity to win a brand and web-package worth well over £10,000.

The Brand Labs finalists who blew our socks off!

“I give myself daily reminders to remain realistic, practical, strategic and to not buy-in to ‘grind culture’. Your worth is not measured by your productivity.”

It’s finally time for us to introduce you to our new team members; four amazing people with a very particular set of skills…

To mark International Week of Happiness at Work, we want to tell you about Officevibe and the reasons we vibe with it.

It’s time for another team choice blog from us at designdough. What would our last meals be if we had the choice? Read on if you’re morbidly curious…we won’t judge!

We’ve tried lots of communication platforms in our time, but Slack well and truly won our hearts a few years ago. And here’s why…

We’re shaking things up a little this Christmas…   As the festive season rolls around, the air in the designdough…
