We would like to wish all our clients and suppliers a happy and prosperous new year. A big thanks to all the ‘regulars’ (you know who you are) for choosing SCC again and again, without you our continued success would never have been possible.
We at Slightly Curved Cube would like to express a huge thank you to all our clients and suppliers for making 2009 a very successful year. We managed to work on some of the most exciting projects to date and met every deadline, and without your help and support – this would not have been possible.
So we bid you a happy Festive Period and a prosperous New Year!
If you ever need our services in 2010, do not hesitate to contact us.
From the SCC Team!
OliveOilSoap.com based in the USA asked us to redesign their company logo a couple of months ago. They didn’t really have a logo prior to this, so we decided to look at their product range and came up with this design which they loved.
Because of our fantastic design work on their logo, we have secured two e-commerce websites (design and development).
Design is not art
Every designer will tell you ‘we do not create for self-expression’, we use graphic design to evoke a service to solve communication problems within a B2B or B2C marketplace – this therefore helps market a product or service.
Graphic Design – The World’s most underrated profession
Clients always think graphic design is easy and will want us (designers) to work for nothing. Purchasing Adobe’s Creative Suite will not make you a designer, nor will it make you a better graphic designer. Most clients will not appreciate good design, marketing or advertising. What good designers do is lengthy and poised with problem solving – getting the end user to be evoked into a call-to-action is not easy.
Designers are always on the move as the world in which we live in is constantly changing and a designers …
Travel Innovations asked if SCC could redesign and build their website. We said yes – obviously!
Our client required a site that would appeal purely on a B2B level, utilising the hues and tones from the original website (left), and bringing the new site (on the right) into line with todays web-marketing requirements. As with all our web-builds; it is 100% hand-coded, W3C ‘XHTML’ and ‘CSS’ compliant and has ‘friendly URL’s’. Our standard is premium!
You can see the results here.

As you are probably aware by now, SCC love branding and rebranding for businesses and organisations world-wide, and this branding exercise was no different to the numerous requests we get on a weekly basis.
As you can see from the examples above, the old logo / brand (left) looked as if it had been designed in Microsoft Word (oo-er). After a consultation with our client, they were adamant that we redesign the logo and rebrand RTRPO.
When asked by one of our resellers to create a simple yet communicative logo for one of their clients, Slightly Curved Cube once again sprung into action.
As with all our logo and branding projects, we sent out a questionnaire to find out a little more of what os required. Here are the questions and feedback:

A. Blue and white.
Q. What are the attributes you hold that you would like the logo to reflect?

Slightly Curved Cube were asked to brand the new ‘Anglo-Polska’ telecom company Polfonik – who are a telecom company offering call services for individual and business clients and is dedicated to the Polish community living in the UK – to design their logo for use on their website and other printed and electronic marketing collateral.
THE BRAND is:
Polish – we advertise in Polish and our support lines are all in Polish. It’s a strong USP for people who fear english accents on the phone
Simple – people fear complexity with changing phone service
Helpful – our brand is to be positioned with a helpful, solid and trustworthy feel
Great value – our headline broadband rate is cheaper than ‘Talk Talk’
The colors for the project are: red, grey (light), white, where red it the main one as it is related to Polish …
