Lovehate Design

We’ve been working with our beloved client @sober_in_the_country on their inaugural national fundraiser, The Big Shout … soon to be the “Movember” of February. ⠀ Head to thebigshout.org to check out this playful appeal tackling a serious issue by channelling the great Aussie tradition of shouting a mate a round into shouting a virtual round instead. You can donate the $$$ equivalent of a 6 pack, a keg, a carton or even a pallet to provide real support for rural and remote Australians doing it tough with booze. ⠀ We created this logo for The Big Shout … isn’t it cute? It captures the heart of Sober in the Country and their love for rural Australians. And you may be wondering why a charity with “sober” in their name is proudly using a beer can as its logo… it’s because they’re all about inclusion, supporting their mates no matter the kind of drink in their hand. If you can enjoy a few beers safely, great. But if a mate wants to cut back or cut out booze, Sober in the Country is right there offering life saving connection and support. ⠀ Before working with Shan, Flip and the team, we had no idea how deeply alcohol harm is tied to some of the most serious issues in rural Australia – from farm accidents and su***de to preventable early deaths – or how hard it is for people in the bush to access help. And if you’ve ever felt pressured to drink when you’ve said ‘no thanks’ out on the town, just imagine how much harder that is in country communities where drinking is woven into every part of life. ⠀ If you can afford to shout a virtual round for a bush mate doing it tough, head to thebigshout.org we’d so appreciate you supporting this beautiful charity that is literally saving lives. ⠀ (And if you’re doing it tough, yourself, have a look around their website soberinthecountry.org … you’ll find lots of resources and recommended organisations for support also.) * * * #lovehatedesign #lovehatedesginandbrand #graphicdesign #signage #graphicdesigner #logo #logodesign #branding #brisbanegraphicdesign #typography #brand #creative #design #communication #creative #branding101 #brandingstrategy #brandstrategy #portfolio #logosuite #soberinthecountry #fundraising #thebigshout

Looks like a slight agenda change this afternoon at Lovehate Design+Brand.

Mao the studio cat just added himself to today’s urgent projects list, exemplifying at least the “stand out” and “be heard” portions of our brand strapline: Stand out. Be heard. Grow.

So how could we say no? 😂🐈📋☑️

This was a fun one for @floutsoftware_au One of Flout’s brand qualities is “Positive Disruptors” ... and that’s in full effect in this banner. No other brand in the geotech software space is as bright, colourful and engaging as Flout. On a busy trade show floor, this pull-up banner helps Flout grab attention and stand out from their competitors. * * * #lovehatedesign #lovehatedesginandbrand #graphicdesign #portablesignage #signage #graphicdesigner #logo #logodesign #exposignage #pullupbanner #branding #brisbanegraphicdesign #typography #brand #creative #design #communication #printdesign #wayfindingdesign #wayfinding #creative #branding101 #brandingstrategy #brandstrategy #portfolio #strapline #copywriting #attentiongrab * * * Royalty Free Music: Bensound.com/royalty-free-music License code: H9JOEFUKJ5FMEMZU

We’ve been so busy looking after our clients’ marketing the past few years that we’ve neglected our own. And it’s time we gave Lovehate some of the love.
Starting with an oldie but a goodie

…another project for where we summarised their eco-friendly Trolley Truck in just 2 pages. This project was an exercise in succinctness. We were handed a huge pile of info to communicate…but we set out to capture attention first and then inform (but not drown the reader in detail!).

And was the client happy with the end result? Check out the last slide to see what they had to say.

Wishing all our lovely clients a restoring and fun Christmas break.

We close tonight and will reopen on the 23rd of January. See you in 2023!

Our incredibly talented photographer, Agi, at work capturing portraits using natural light and studio lights. Today she’s photographing headshots for a regular client - but for our website and the sites for many of our clients she has also contributed beautiful “at work”, product and scenery photography as well. If your bio and other photos for your website aren’t showing you and your brand in your best light, get in touch.

Don’t waste an opportunity to stand out: branded packing tape makes even the most well-used recycled boxes look schmick. We love how it instantly turns something utilitarian, tired and functional into an effective promo piece for any brand. Plus, our packing tape is eco-friendly – made from reinforced kraft paper – and has fibreglass strips to make it super strong too.

Get in touch if you’d like our help to stand out, be heard and grow.

We’re launching our rebrand today. Huzzah! So, it’s out with the classic, moody black and in with energetic and uplifting cyan and magenta.

After a rigorous rebranding process, we’re excited to reintroduce ourselves to you as Lovehate Design+Brand…because everything we write and design is backed by brand strategy to help our clients stand out, be heard and grow.

This post is a sneak peek of our new website https://www.lovehatedesign.com.au/ and our new logo and strapline.

We’ll post more about the elements of our rebrand in the next couple of weeks and will introduce you to some of our team as well. Stay tuned!

Windows are a great spot to display your logo and stake your claim…and they don’t have to block out the view or sunlight either. Check out some of the wayfinding and branding signage we created for the regional office.

We think PowerPoint gets a bad rap! PowerPoint slides CAN be an asset to your brand, but only if they’re all the good words, like “stylish”, “professional”, “engaging”… “inspiring” even. Here are a handful of the 119 slides we designed to accompany a 20-minute presentation we wrote for Economic Development Queensland.

The speech was to celebrate Carseldine Village’s recent 5-Star Green Star Communities certified rating at Green Building Day 2021 last week.
