our approach

Design for the real world

What kind of designers are we? Sensitive, creative, expert, attentive and absolutely professional, say clients.

When you work with Calverts, you're not buying a Calverts house style. You're tapping into a flexible resource of experience, creativity and project management know how which will deliver your visuals, campaigns, publications, websites and marketing collateral on time, on budget and on brand.

Designing for the real world means developing solutions that are not just beautiful and engaging, but also mindful of resources and people. We work with our clients to deliver printed and electronic communications that are financially and environmentaly sustainable. To us, this means no wasted words, no wasted materials and no wasted effort; or, as someone once said, designing on the principle that 'less is more'.

Little Press

Logo design

Client: School of Advanced Study / University of London
Project: Logo design

- This is our main logotype design for The University of London's School of Advanced Study, a humanities and social sciences postgraduate research institution comprised of ten specialist Institutes.

We were asked to create a strong, distinctive visual brand for the School which would represent and express its scholarly reputation and prestigious standing.

We really enjoyed working on the project, and the new identity was successfully launched in December, with positive feedback from all stakeholders - not something we could take for granted, given that SAS has ten fiercely independent academic centres.

We've also been working on the design of the School's publishing imprint and events marketing materials, including posters, e-flyers and an annual report.
