At Sputnik we don't believe every company's brand should look the same, nor should appeal to the same target markets. Since 1993 the designers at Sputnik have created logos, corporate identity, stationery, printed materials, packaging and promotional items for hundreds of companies. We have worked with startups, SMEs, and large corporations - all with unique styling, applied to a variety of budgets.
Having also had printing experience, we have a thorough understanding of the best technologies for each job, and can advise on cost-saving solutions.

As a regular supplier of design services to Anglesey County Council, Sputnik was commissioned to develop the brand for the new Anglesey Airport, open to the public from March 2007. A full branding usage guidelines document was developed for future use of the visual identity. Sputnik has also been contracted for the design and provision of posters and a bilingual, fully accessible and web standards-compliant website which is currently in development.
Having been recommissioned for 2007 after designing the 2006 travel brochure, Sputnik implemented further features for easy reference and a colour coding system for the accommodation listings.
Having designed a number of press adverts as well as some smaller publication for Anglesey Tourist Board, Sputnik were commissioned to design the 2006 Travel Planner. A number of usability improvements were identified at the start, including a fold out map in the front cover for easy reference and listing accommodation in alphabetical order by town (saving the Tourist Board a total of 1.4 million pages of print). We designed a strong layout which was carried consistently throughout the brochure, which also made the best use of beautiful imagery to maximise the impact of Anglesey's magnificent landscape. We subsequently reproduced the same brochure in Welsh.
A preferred supplier for Anglesey Tourist Board, Sputnik was contracted to provide the design for the cover and main spreads for the Island's events and activities guide for 2005. The guide had was produced simultaneously in Welsh and English and the inside pages needed to be printed in one colour for cost saving.
The Anglesey Tourist Board occasionally has the need for the development of promotional products, and Sputnik have been commissioned for the design of wine labels to be presented to the Silesian Delegation on their official visit to Wales in May 2005. Sputnik was also contracted to design carrier bags to be distributed from the Island's two Tourist Information Centres in Holyhead and Llanfairpwll.
PlanLabs offer a unique product allowing companies such as property developers and serviced offices to display availability information in an easy to understand, graphical format. Sputnik helped in the design not only of their corporate identity and website, but in the products themselves.
Agilent, a $1bn relative of Hewlett Packard, wanted to develop a brand for their Customer Centric product, a strong differentiator to their competitors' products which focused on technical problems with mobile phone networks. The logo needed to be unique, but still reflect the Agilent Technologies main brand.
Fibrous Ltd has been supplying the funeral industry in the UK for over 50 years and has since also branched into exhibition display and hook-and-loop supply. Sputnik came up with a solution that is traditional, while still contemporary, and that can be applied to any number of its sub-brands.
St Trophime is an olive orchard in the foothills of the Alps in the south-east of France, producing several varieties of extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil. Currently sold to local markets, the client is looking to expand to national and international markets and an ecommerce website is currently in development.
Calderdale Computers is a fast-growing computer sales, maintenance and repair company serving a wide area between Calder Valley, Bury and Manchester. Requirements for the visual identity were to have a clean, "techy" feel, yet corporate and also approachable. As a small business we also felt that the logo and collateral material could be printed in two colours if necessary, to save on costs.
Caledonian Organics is a farmer owned co-operative dedicated to the independent marketing of organic lamb and beef to the meat, working directly with the processors for Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer. As well as revamped their existing logo and branding, Sputnik also designed their website.
Courants d'Airs is a music festival held each year in the heart of Provence, and showcasing a variety of vocal classical music in local churches, castles and cathedrals. Several years running we have been commissioned to create the poster, website and programs using a aesthetic solutions that expressed the connection between the famed local winds and singing voices. All illustrations were custom created.
Indibindi is an online travel portal for the many regions of India. The target audience are young adventurers seeking travel information, businesses, and tips, and wishing meet like-minded travellers. The logo needed to be vibrant and colourful, and incoporate the cultural experience of India using only a few elements and colours. The logo could be easily procuded in two colours for saving on printing costs.
