About me
Hello, I'm Tom a humble logo design expert. I specialise in logo design, stewarding start-ups and assisting existing companies. To create and breathe new life into business' through effective logo design. From consultation to creating bespoke visual articulations that reflect the brand values and differentiates you from your competitors. Logos that are aesthetically pleasing, gaining recognition quickly, are wonderfully distinct and unique. I have a wealth of experience as a graphic designer (nearly two decades) working in design agencies, marketing agencies, as in-house designer and as a freelance graphic designer. With experience across various sectors; Arts and Culture, Hospitality and Leisure, and Industry and Commerce, creating print and digital assets in every form. I create everything from modern and minimal to illustrative and stylised; crafting beautifully bespoke solutions to engage and inspire.

To celebrate (and set myself a little project), I am going to re-imagine / update / iterate each teams logos. One team per week (across the next 20 weeks)... I'll try and give a little reasoning and rational behind each design with the decisions I make. To kick things off (like what I did there �), I've looked at the P
