Andrew Swanborough came to us with a requirement to take on a whole new brand and vision for the company, and requested a new brand design for APC initially. After a short period of time, it was considered that while APC was known in the area for the excellent service, the acronym meant nothing to most people who didn’t know what it meant.

Therefore Hawkeye Pest Control was born. A completely unique name, that avoids the common use of Acronyms in the industry where there is a certain bad taste that goes with the world of pest control.

We decided to have a bit of obvious fun with the brand and create something that was really striking, visually punchy, and of course, eye catching. The brand is really unique in the industry as instead of default, rat or pigeon, the eye of the hawk is representative of the ‘always watching’ bird of prey.

Along with the re-brand, Hawkeye also required a website, which was more tailored to work for both domestic and commercial clients. A full glossary of all pests and problems that customers may be facing, along with an openly transparent glossary of pesticides that Hawkeye use.

Jenna put the shout out on Facebook that she was looking a brand, something that was completely unique to her. The brand needed to demonstrate a unique style that captures everything that Jenna’s artistry requires.

It pulls in various elements, including a tribal style blending with a traditional microphone and the inclusion of small creatures. Within all of this, there are tones of the form of feathers, and seated centrally, the character letters J and S. A crown and a rose are also visible in the design.

The brand is heavily created using Illustrator and was output in various colour variations and formats.

Andrew and I have worked on small projects together in the past, and it was a privilege and an honour when Andrew asked me to support him with his design and marketing activities.

We have covered many bases, working to create a website that is elegant, informative and also a direct link into Andrew’s music via Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.

Alongside the website, Andrew also tasked me to create the design and artwork for his album Winter’s Heart. This included the casing of the package, the 12 page book that forms the insert, and the disc design. Not only was it a wonderfully tactile piece of design to work on, but a real sense of achievement to see the artwork appearing on streaming services, where Andrew has been racking up listens in the millions.

In addition to the above, support has also gone into creating poster work and flyers for Andrew’s wonderfully intimate performance’s at some stunning locations across London.

The website needed to really focus on the team of engineers that form the team at Leap while also supporting and promoting the great recruitment opportunities that the company pushes, specifically to graduates looking for that first, all important role.

The website also boasted bespoke functionality, providing the user the option to search for projects. Entering their own postcode would present them with projects that have taken place in their area.

The enquiry made was also submitted to the specific office closest to the users post code.

I have worked with Matt on a number of very different projects and have always found both his design and implementation skills to be second to none, but best of all he’s a really nice guy to work with!

The branding extended across the range of social media, banner artwork, wrist bands and printed flyers.

The website also had to integrate with the Bullhorn recruitment portal that is the critical software that Fryer Miles uses to power their recruitment.
