Consistency is what turns a logo into a brand. After refreshing the ACADS identity, we extended the new look across their footpath sign and website, creating a cohesive experience across both physical and digital assets.

As part of the ACADS brand refresh, we redesigned the brochure to better communicate current services while creating a more welcoming, positive and contemporary feel that aligned with the refreshed brand.

Sometimes a brand doesn’t need reinventing. It just needs ‘refining’.

For ACADS, we modernised the existing logo by removing the outdated yellow accent and heavy black (that we created back in 2017!), introducing a single, positive teal colour and updating the tagline to better reflect the organisation’s current services. We then carried the refreshed identity through to crisp, professional stationery.

Serious about good design?
So are we.

We make sure your design is smart, strategic and built to work.

It starts with understanding the bigger picture, finding the right message and creating visual systems that help your business or organisation communicate clearly.

We combine strategic thinking with standout visuals. No fluff, just purposeful creativity across campaigns, communications, digital, print and signage.

So... what do we actually do?

We organise complex information, so people actually read it.

If you’ve got a beast of a document that needs beating into shape, we can help.

From proposals and reports to stakeholder communications and strategic documents, we transform complex content into clear, professional communication that’s easy to navigate and simple to understand.

We also create the supporting brand assets, marketing campaigns, signage, templates and digital communication tools that help your organisation communicate consistently.

If you’re looking for a design partner who can bring clarity to complexity, let’s talk.

A little glow up... ✨

We’ve been burning the midnight oil over the past few weeks, and this time it wasn’t for a client.

We’ve taken the opportunity to step back, refine our own brand, and reposition Crispin Design to better reflect who we are, how we work, and where we’re headed.

The new look is only part of the story. Behind it is a clearer focus on practical branding, strategic design, and creating systems that help businesses and organisations communicate consistently and confidently.

Same values. Same attention to detail. Just a sharper direction.

Welcome to the next chapter of Crispin Design.

Today marks the end of an era at Crispin Design 🎨👩🏼‍💻👋

After 12 years with our design team (and three maternity leaves along the way!), we’re saying a very big thank you and farewell to Amy Harvey as she heads off to pursue a new career in primary school teaching.

Amy has been an integral part of Crispin Design over the years.

From managing client projects and smashing out lightning-fast adverts, to somehow creating concepts at speed while still making them look polished to perfection.

Her attention to detail, calm nature, and deep understanding of our clients and their brands are something that simply can’t be replaced.

We’ll definitely miss her positive energy, ‘can-do’ attitude, honest feedback, and our regular phone chats throughout the week.

She’s been my design 2IC for so many years, and we honestly couldn’t have built the business to where it is today without her support, loyalty, and hard work.

While we’re incredibly sad to see her go, we know she’s going to thrive in this next chapter, and those primary school kids are about to learn a thing or two about creating epic posters, colour palettes, and perfectly aligned content.

Although… her patience may be tested more than ever!

Thank you for everything, Amy 🤍
