Web site footwear

The footer, as if to warrant its physical position in life, can often be left until last during the design process, like some sort of digital outcast. To the contrary, the footer deserves so much more attention than that. It can often be the next port of call in the event of a site’s navigation lacking a link that a user feels should be there (most commonly, this is a link to contact details). It can reinforce a brand, offer up exciting tools and just simply finish of a page in an aesthetic way. Read the rest of this entry »

Dusted and the credit crunch

It is pretty hard to ignore the rising panic amongst banks, consumers and Gordon Brown as Britain’s economy (allegedly) plummets uncontrollably into decline.

Separated at birth: Dusted and DairyCo?

New DairyCo Logo

Today’s Design Week revealed a fresh new (and apparently, less expensive) identity for the DairyCo – the new name for the Milk Development Council (MDC). According to the agency behind it, the new logo is “… about promoting openness and freshness in its bright colour scheme…” though we think it bears a slight resemblance to our own ‘D’ logo – what do you think?

Terra Firma voted BVCA Site of the Month

The BVCA (British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association) today voted the Terra Firma web site, Site of the Month, April 2008. The BVCA each month highlights a web site from the private equity and venture capital industry. They went onto commend the recently published Annual Review, saying “Terra Firma’s Annual Report published earlier this month is an impressive reflection of the way buy-out houses are becoming much more open and responsive to wider audiences.”
