This week sees the launch of the ‘Swim for free’ campaign, a joint initiative between Manchester City Council and Manchester Sports and Leisure Trust (MSLT).

Anybody under the age of 16 or over 60 is eligible to swim for free at any of Manchester’s eleven swimming pools.

Pixel8 created graphic designs for leaflets and exhibition banner stands for each location and added additional pages on the MSLT website, with accompanying online resources for swimmers to download and register. The Manchester Sports and Leisure Trust website design was developed by Pixel8 in 2008.

Pop in to any of Manchester’s swimming pools to see the campaign designed by Pixel8, or to register for free swimming in Manchester!

This month sees the start of a new Pixel8 in-house marketing campaign and website redesign.

The new website will show our expanded range of design and marketing services as we continue to help companies beat the credit crunch with a little more ‘WOMGE for your wonga’; WOMGE being Web Design, Online Marketing, Multimedia, Graphic Design and Exhibition Design.

In the current economic climate, we know that to survive the credit crunch your company has to turn heads, and we can help you to maintain a high profile and stand out from the crowd both online and in print advertising.

Give us a call today on 0161 228 6489 or 0845 230 1336 to see how we can help your business tackle market difficulties head on.

Beat-The-Agent approached Pixel8 with the proposition of developing their new corporate brand identity and to design a new website for their direct ‘cutting out the middle man’ holiday homes abroad company.

The brand design needed to be clear and effective in communicating the ethos of the business, with a look and feel that could be continued throughout the new website. Following a series of workshops, we were able to put together a development proposition that featured new logo design options, website homepage and subsequent webpage designs, a brand guide and also a series of exhibition banner designs.

We were delighted to be able to be involved in an international corporation and hope to continue to evolve this brand even further in the near future.

Coinciding with a truly diverse sporting weekend hosting the UCI World Track Cup and the 1st BTCB British International Taekwondo Open, Manchester Sport and Leisure Trust officially launched its new brand design and new website design that were both developed by the Pixel8 design and marketing agency in Manchester.

The new website brings together 19 indoor sport and leisure facilities on behalf of Manchester City Council and is one of the most significant collections of sporting venues in the UK, including Sportcity; the largest concentration of sporting venues in Europe and a permanent legacy from the Manchester XVII Commonwealth Games 2002.

Even with the emergence of the internet, exhibitions continue to be an important sales channel for many businesses. Exhibitions offer an opportunity to promote services to a focussed group in a very short space of time.

As well as our corporate rebranding work, we design print and supply complete exhibition stands, pop up exhibition banners, and rollup banner designs. We can even remove the exhibition stand when the show is over, as we often provide our clients with complete exhibition stand services from concept to clean up!

See our exhibition design portfolios for brand name clients including Kellogg’s, Interflora and Manchester United and for small business companies such as Boxfresh Organics.

Our in-house full colour large print and laminator facilities make us unique amongst Manchester design agencies. This enables us to manage the process through from initial concept to construction of the exhibition stands.
