Envisage Design and Zealand Media launched The Brand Box in October 2010. Since the launch, we have branded over 10 new and established companies. Obviously, our fixed-price design offering has been extremely popular with businesses that want a fresh new look. View the growing portfolio of works.

The difference with The Brand Box fixed-pricing offer is in our personal service and premium design. Most companies that offer a fixed price service are either copyhouses, printers or web design and hosting companies. And although we have over 35 years combined specialist design knowledge, The Brand Box is not a design supermarket, it’s freelance duo Sajid Choudhary and Simon Owen.  That is to say, when a client books a job, they deal directly with us creatives. We don’t outsource the work, we do completely ourselves. Also, we encourage the client to be involved in the design process, every step of the way. Talk about cosy.

Over the past few weeks we have refinded our service offering, resulting in the new Brand Box website. It’s pretty snappy.  http://www.thebrandbox.biz

Envisage Design has just finished working on the branding for New Zealand Education Connection (NZEC). This project was undertaken through my new fixed price design offering, The Brand Box.

The NZEC office is based in the burgeoning student city of Palmerston North, New Zealand and specialises in consultancy for international students. New Zealand is a very appealing study destination and the NZCE brand reflects this.

I designed NZCE’s logo to have a very clean and fresh look, just like the natural New Zealand landscape. We added a stylised fern to give a kiwiana feel. The result is dynamic, modern and professional.

Next up, stationery; premium business cards, letterhead, electronic templates and pre-printed envelopes. These there designed in Adobe Illustrator CS5. I do believe that drop-dead gorgeous corporate stationery is very important!

Finally, Envisage designed the NZEC website. Worth noting is that Envisage hosts all of our client’s sites. We also help to set-up any email requirements. The NZCE site is presented in 2 languages; English and Vietnamese. Using a clever plugin module called WPML, more languages can be added to the site at a later stage.

This WordPress site has a ‘latest news’ feature (blog) that the NZCE staff can easily keep up-to-date themelves. The finished result is elegant and easy to navigate.

Envisage and The Brand Box wish NZEC all the very best in delivering quality advice and on-going consultancy to international students who choose to study in New Zealand.
