First impressions can say a lot, and the first time we met with Mike and his family we weren’t disappointed. Their passion for their craft enlightened, while their confidence in their quality was reassuring to say the least.

Over the years we’ve had many business owners asking us to polish (excuse the pun), however Mike’s ambitions were clear. He wanted a 21st century business and to compete at the highest level.

Sales have never been better.

Mike tells us.

Passion for what you do and how you do it is something that isn’t celebrated enough. The work we have produced for Ferry & Sons with their rebrand gets that across in a professional and warm way.

Designer Notes

For those designers who may be interested, there are many components to the Ferry brand. The logo itself is created from curved angle bevels that are often found on worktops produced by the firm; while the ligature in the F is designed to represent both the F and the S.

Complementary elements of the brand include a suite of bevels which have been converted into fine stroke lines which represent the delicate nature of the craftmanship thats involved with every worktop be it marble or quartz. These bevel details can be overplayed over images and flat colours.

The serif typeface for the headlines is Libre Baskerville. Selected for its craftsman style qualities and human approachability. While headlines are sans serif to represent the clean and modern approach of the business.

Colour palettes are simple and contemporary, with a heritage nod. Also the blue is a modernisation of the previous logo type.

Portrait and interior shots were taken by Award winning photographer Dan Kenyon.
