Meyer Von Weilligh

Meyer Von Weilligh – Design and Photography

Colin Stephenson was privileged to work closely with Abrie von Wielligh and Norman Meyer from Meyer Von Wielligh Garden Route, in establishing their new corporate identity. Starting with the branding and logo design we defined a new direction for their marketing materials and translated this through graphic design into their corporate stationery as well as their portfolio website and corporate marketing cards.

The branding was created and illustrated by hand to communicate the company ethos of unique handmade furniture. We combined the illustrated feel of the new logo with a strong modern approach to the corporate stationery and website in order to demonstrate the modern cutting edge approach to technology, furniture design and mixed media techniques implored by the company.

MVW commissioned Colin Stephenson to develop a set of 14 corporate marketing cards. The cards were to demonstrate the MVW product range through a classic sophisticated graphic design style. The series was designed to continue the graphic design style set through the branding and portfolio website and in this was forms part of seamless marketing campaign that is unique to MVW.
The MVW website has been designed using the product photography captured by Colin Stephenson Photography in their professional graphic design and photography studio.

Branding, Graphic Design – Rudi’s Choice

Colin Stephenson advertising agency has worked with International Slab Sales (ISS) on various brands since 2009.
In 2011 ISS launched a new national brand for quality natural stone slabs – Rudi’s Choice. Colin Stephenson was appointed as the project manager and advertising studio to conceptualise the look and feel of the new brand as well as the corporate identity encompassing as the marketing materials and advertising campaigns. Colin Stephenson project managed & developed an integrated suite of designed marketing materials and signage.

The logo concept stems from the fact that Rudi Eggers, the Director of ISS has a great reputation for going to the ends of the earth to find and supply clients with the best quality natural stone. If Rudi puts his name on it that seals the quality of the product. The logo thus developed from the idea of using Rudi’s signature as the key element. Colin Stephenson also designed a range of graphic icons to distinguish the stone types as well as a unique creative visual palette of images and illustrations linked to the exotic destinations from which the product originates to round off the corporate identity.

Colin Stephenson developed a set of signature adverts forming a large part of the brand’s launch campaign. The advertising campaign featured nationally and so the new corporate identity for Rudi’s choice was launched. The Colin Stephenson studio created themed adverts which would convey the destinations of origin and place the brand as a unique handpicked quality product. The on-going series of print adverts takes viewers into the exploration process that Rudi goes through to source the best natural stone. The post card look and feel of the advertising campaign was rolled out across other print materials, including a full colour glossy product brochure, corporate stationery as well as car signage, point of sale graphics and exhibition stand graphics.

A national launch of Rudi’s Choice required the Colin Stephenson design team to design large format display graphics and pull-up banners as well as email campaigns and various designed corporate marketing items such as branded bags, wine cases and caps. Along with these Colin Stephenson developed Rudi’s Choice branded vehicle wraps, product labels, in-store graphics and display billboards. Exhibition display graphics were also designed to encompass all the aspects of the advertising campaign and carry the brand values across visually in a unified graphic message.

Branding, Corporate Identity – ISS

ISS international slab sales

Colin Stephenson based in the Garden Route project managed the ISS (International Slab Sales, South Africa) corporate rebrand.

Colin Stephenson started the re-branding process by tackling the logo graphic and modernised and refreshed the corporate colours that are to represent the well-established stone slab suppliers. Once the graphic had been set all the corporate stationery, advertising, store signage, car signage as well as website have been re-design to keep within the brand guidelines of the new corporate identity.

Colin Stephenson website design agency, proposed a content management system driven website to showcase the company’s products, brands as well as galleries and news archive. The data on the site is dynamic and can be controlled by the client to keep all the news and product details current and up to date. The design style of the bespoke content management system again incorporates the new brand DNA and is focused on stylishly representing all the brands and high quality products that ISS represent.

Anmaraté Corporate Identity & Packaging

Anmaraté is a national pharmaceutical company based in the Garden Route, who appointed Colin Stephenson as brand guardian and advertising agency since December 2006.

Our relationship with the management and marketing team at Anmaraté has grown from strength to strength. Colin Stephenson has taken the time to research and understand in detail the products and the target audience that Anmaraté is focusing its business on. This understanding has provided a good basis on which to develop their branding and corporate marketing material.

A big part of our initial role as branding agency on these projects was to redesign the Anmaraté brand in line with their evolved ideas and new corporate identity, as well as packaging design for several of their products. The first Product image that we completely revitalized was Coloprep. The brief was to produce a colourful, strong visual effect which was both modern and cutting edge while still being inviting to the client and professionals.

Then to launch the new look Coloprep packaging and Anmaraté brand, Colin Stephenson developed a print advertising campaign that would really catch the medical professionals attention. Additional printed educational instructions have been designed with illustrated graphic timelines to overcome patient illiteracy and make the product more user friendly.

Colin Stephenson was appointed the website design project manager to design and develop a new website that would bring the Anmaraté brand to life online. The website includes product information, features and industry news. Our on-going relationship with Anmaraté enabled Colin Stephenson to refine marketing concepts and develop new design ideas for advertising and marketing material. This process evolves as they grow and change their business in the Garden Route and Nationally in South Africa.
