Bob’s Business
Posted by: | Comments
Recently completed the design work on a new set of logos for Bob’s Business.
Bob’s Business is an eLearning tool which offers a quirky, appealing way of helping employees understand the importance of information security.
For a subject matter as serious as Information Security, it’s quite refreshing that Bob’s Business uses funny, animated cartoons as the main vehicle for delivering their training exercises. This playfulness was something I aimed to carry on through their new identity.
Alongside their new logo, I have also redesigned their stationery and I’m currently in the process of designing their new, main website. Watch this space…

Blast from the past

Way back in 2003, before I officially started trading under the name Kreative Bomb, Creative Bomb(s) was merely the title of a series of self-promotional postcards I handed out to prospective clients.
Besides the postcards and website, the ultimate in self-promotion was the Creative Bomb Smart car I hammered up and down the M62 as I freelanced my arse off. Granted, ‘The Bomb’ was always an easy target for stick and ridicule but it never failed in drawing attention and starting conversations.
Here is a nostalgic look back at some of those ‘Creative Bomb(s)’

Purchased a few design books recently – in readiness for the cold, dark winter nights when I’m curled up in front of the fire.
Only one problem. I don’t have a fire.
Will have to make do curled up on the sofa under my wife’s Slanket.

A logo I recently completed design work on for rc-raceboats.de
RC-Raceboats.de is a website aimed at enthusiasts of high-end radio controlled raceboats.
As someone who enjoyed mucking around with radio controlled cars when I was younger, I was delighted to have an opportunity to work on a logo such as this. I’m really looking forward to seeing it live on their website soon.
Below are a couple of the original pencils sketches I drew when coming up with the ‘speeding boat’ graphic…
