Craft Ales Candles represents a new start-up brand targeting the growing craft ale market and a gap in the market for candles for men.

The West Country founders wanted to produce a range of scented soy wax candles that appeal to men, with fragrances that are fun and different, tapping in to the creative naming and styling of modern craft ale beer; youthful with bags of personality, some might say “scandleous!”

The resulting brand explores playful language and incorporates the candle within the logotype (‘A’ letterform). Typography is supported with themed illustrations and a bright, quirky colour palette.

It’s brilliant when project comes along that combines the creative skill and knowledge in the studio with our passion for sport and in particular cricket!

Royal Cricket approached the Lost & Found team to help them create a solid brand that can evolve and grow with the business. The brand identity will be applied to all aspects of this new business venture and the core challenge has been to create a brand identity that works in isolation, yet can evolve to formulate a supporting product range – a range of cricket bats for all shapes, sizes and ages.

We really look forward to seeing this new business grow and develop and we look forward to supporting them every step of the way.

Strange name right?! That’s what we thought. A little bit silly perhaps, but why not?! Nothing about this company is conventional so why have a name that is?

Racing Bananas is a secure lock up facility for collectable and high-value cars. They approached Lost & Found to brand the business, giving them a premium, “sport classic” look and feel. They loved the Roger Federer look and approach to sports branding. We like to think this is what we gave them!

Out and about in the Cotswolds? Be sure to look out for their merchandise, in particular the banana yellow scarfs – a marketing piece that had a whole illustrative campaign to support it. A lovely project to work on.

We have recently won a competition with Artsreach to design a set of promotional Jute bags to help promote their services and offering across Dorset.

Artsreach is a registered charity that brings high quality performances of live theatre, music, dance and family shows to the heart of rural communities.

The objective of the project was to promote professional arts events in local venues and communities. Our fun copy concept was entitled “Bags of…” exploring audience feedback. For example “bags of entertainment”, “bags of creativity” and “bags of laughter”.

Ink-based typography was combined with simple character illustration to represent “The rural crowd”.

We can’t wait to see this popping up around the county.
