As part of the Designing Demand programme run by the Design Council in London, Vivid were intoroduced to Eric Twigg Foods. Traditionally servicing fast food bars and cafes with brands such as PukKa, Eric Twigg wanted to embrace a healthy foods menu that could be sold into the schools market. Vivid entered a three way pitch to convince the client we had the perfect credentials for the project and a relationship for the future. Vivid came out head and shoulders above our competitors - demonstrating a great commerical track record and an in depth understanding of the schools market.

One of the highest profile government reports of 2010 has been safely delivered into the hands of Gordon Brown, thanks to an enormous team effort between Vivid and UKCES.

The National Strategic Skills Audit, provides a comprehensive and authoritative evidence base for government, providers, RDAs employers and individuals, informing their decisions about investment in education and training.

THANK YOU VIVID CREATIVE!!!

for a really great piece of work. Both Joanne and Dan H deserve medals, they’ve handled the job really professionally and have been unflappable. I know our Research colleagues have also found the service to be ace.

When Vivid were asked by Carrs Silver to create a catalogue to showcase their Sheffield made EPNS and Sterling Silver cutlery to Harrods customers, naturally we were ecstatic but also apprehensive about the enormity of the task presented. Regardless, Vivid's creative team excelled themselves and delivered a beautiful, contemporary design concept using watercolours.

Bag It Don't Bin It produce bespoke Eco Bags for brands such as Paul Smith and Liberty London. Owner, Julia Gash saw a great opportunity in the market to launch a Kids Eco Bag and chose Vivid to create product design, branding and packaging to launch the new brand to market. Vivid's process involved contacting two local nurseries and working with groups of children to establish which product illustrations were most appealing across the various age ranges. We then researched packaging concepts with the aim of delivering maximum impact with minimum cost to the environment and the bottom line.

The deliverables included a POS counter display made from a miniature hessian eco bag and a one-piece card packaging solution (housing four crayons). The new brand was launched at an exhibition in Harrogate and success was clear, following sales orders received from small and large retailers across the country.

At a recent wine tasting event held by Vivid's client Boutinot, Gerry and Dan were lucky enough to meet the legendary Mr Paul Boutinot who is now custodian of Waterkloof Wines. The picture says it all really, there was not much time for small talk, quaffing and spitting was the order of the day.

Vivid have delivered a new brand name and logo for Sheffield Technology Park - now called Stadia Technology Park. The name was generated from a long list of excellent suggestions, however, Stadia was a clear winner due to the proximity of the park to both Don Valley and Woodburn Road stadiums. Whilst the main website build is underway a holding page for the Stadia Technology Park has been published.

Tuiffa, the equine footwear brand, asked Vivid to produce their catalogue following on from the success of the Battles equine catalogue which featured their products.
