If you've ever received a trophy or medal in the North East of Scotland, there's a good chance it came from Tannadice Trophies & Engraving.

Over time, the business had outgrown its website and logo, and it was one of the major things we changed.

New logo: The old circular badge in cursive script was replaced with a bold double-T monogram in gold and silver, with an engraving tool burst beneath it. It signals the name and the craft, and it scales from a favicon to a shopfront; that is one of the many parts that we love as a business.

New website: The old homepage opened with the tagline "A Winning Combination”, which told visitors nothing. We replaced it with one clear sentence: "The high street trophy shop, since 1985." Everything else followed from there; we simplified navigation, created a user-friendly interface, and handcrafted a website that tells you exactly what the business does the moment you land on the homepage.

Visit tannadicetrophies.co.uk to see for yourself.

One more thing: we love bringing brands to life; we are sure you know that by now.

If your website or brand isn't doing your business justice, let's talk.

Great session yesterday with Darren and Susie from Momentum Warranties Limited, fine-tuning the strategy, branding and website work that's been coming together over the past few months. Can't share details just yet, but watch this space.

Bonus points to the Momentum Warranties team for showing up with a box of Tunnock's Tea Cakes, which sparked a very serious, very unresolved debate about the true King of Biscuits.

Thanks, Darren, and Susie; great things ahead.

A menu that looks as good as the food tastes.

For hospitality, your website is doing a job before anyone's even walked through the door: making people hungry and making the decision to book easy. Salty’s Montrose needed a site that felt as good as the experience of being there, on any device, in seconds.

Mobile-first wasn't optional here. Most people are checking a restaurant site on their phone, standing outside deciding whether to come in.

Take a look at saltys-montrose.co.uk. Running a hospitality business with a website that undersells the experience? We can change that.

Ramsay Ladders came to us needing more than a new logo. They needed a full visual identity system that would hold up whether it was printed on the side of a vehicle, printed on a signage, sitting on a product spec sheet, or loading on a phone screen.

That's the real test of good branding. Not how it looks in isolation, but how it holds together everywhere your business shows up.

That's the kind of consistency we build into every identity system. Want your brand to hold up the same way, everywhere it's seen?

B2B doesn't have to mean boring.

Trade Solutions needed a site that spoke to buyers who know exactly what they want and don't have patience for a slow, cluttered experience. We built it clean, fast, and structured so the right information is never more than a click away.

Good B2B design is about respecting that your visitor's time is worth something and getting them to a decision quickly.

If your website needs to build trust, not just look good, let's talk.

Our World Cup sweepstake champion Jenn Brady got her hands on the ultimate prize, and what a haul it is.

As the only person in the entire competition to back Spain from start to finish, Jenn walked away with:

1. £50 Meal Voucher from Salty’s , Montrose
2. Deluxe Coffee Hamper from Maison Dieu Coffee Roasters - Brechin
3. £50 Meal Voucher from Invercarse Hotel, Dundee

Pictured here with our Joint MD Barry Sellars, who personally went out to deliver the goods. That’s what we call service, and we love the customer interactions we have.

Congratulations, Jenn Brady, you backed the right horse; enjoy every bit of it!

A big thank you again to our incredible sponsors for making this competition one to remember.

Big news: The Astute Group is officially in the Arbroath FC dugout as their new brand, marketing, and media partner!

Sat down with Jon Bruce, Director at Arbroath FC, this week to kick things off, and honestly, the energy in the room said it all. This club has heart, history, and a fanbase that deserves to feel every bit of it online. Our job? Turn that up.

This partnership is all about helping the club connect with its fans in a bigger, better way: stronger social media collaboration, storytelling with a heart, and a proper foundation for digital engagement that reflects everything Arbroath FC is building on and off the pitch.

Proud to be working alongside a club with such a strong community spirit and looking forward to what we can build together.

Welcome to the team, Arbroath Football Club - Official.
