Countdown to Bluhalo's new branding launch

The days are counting down now until the official launch of Bluhalo's new-look branding. Everything from our logo through our client case studies to our internal flow charts are now showing the new branding - final checks are being carried out as I type with the official launch scheduled for office move day! All the branding updates have been carried out by our dedicated digital design team who have worked many hours ensuring everything is looking as it should (super cool of course!) for the UK's fastest growing design and build agency!

The Statement of Capability has received its finishing touches this morning. It is a fantastic document that provides prospective clients with everything they would need to know about Bluhalo. It begins with Bluhalo's history, culture, brand values and financial statement, touching upon each of our service areas including design, web services, multimedia, ecommerce, content management, CRM, usability and accessibility and even covers our history, key players and processes. If you'd like to have a look - just give us a shout!

The new stationery is off to the printers today, so we'll expect our shiny new business cards back next week when all the pieces should fall nicely into place! The current website www.bluhalo.com will be showing the new logo imminently. Watch this space for more exciting updates!

Bluhalo Visitor Experience

One of the reasons that Bluhalo decided to move to The Hub was because of the excellent first impressions that you get when arriving at the building.

Spencer Gallagher felt that the thought and care taken during the redevelopment were of a high standard that reflects Bluhalo's own philosophy and approach to our clients' work; and that the two side by side will give a great visitor experience:



Close up of The Hub's sign



Fountains and sign at the entrance to The Hub



Exterior view of Aviators and the fountains at the front of The Hub; an area that Bluhalo will be taking advantage of not just for staff but clients as well!




The Hub's Reception Area



Informal seating area at the front of the building



View down the corridor at the front of The Hub

More on Bluhalo's rebrand

The wheels on the well-oiled cogs of what is Bluhalo's team of digital website design and build experts have been turning, and Bluhalo's rebrand is fast approaching launch day.

With the business cards and stationery ready to go to print and our client case studies looking very nice indeed - and with clients such as Subaru World Rally Team (http://www.swrt.com/), Tottenham Hotspur (http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/), Richard Ward (http://www.richardward.co.uk/), Geraldonline (http://www.geraldonline.com/) and Prodrive (http://www.prodrive.com/) - it's also always a pleasure to work on their case studies!

The final piece to fall into place is the current website, which will show the new branding shortly, with the official branding launch date the 3rd September to coincide with the office move.

There will also be a brand new http://www.bluhalo.com/ coming soon, so watch this space!
