Logo, Brand and Web Design for Porta Lancastrian by Pixel8

Logo Design & Branding

Porta Lancastrian New Brand

Porta Lancastrian required a logo that brought the brand into the 21st Century.

Well established as a leader within their field, it was felt that the logo was outdated and staid. Sensitive to the well known brand name, we set about creating a logo that used elements of the old brand such as the distinctive blue and the use of an arch.

Website Design with CMS

Once the re-brand was established, we set about creating a new web presence. By focusing in on specific parts of the bar fonts we were able to showcase them in an interesting and compelling.

Innovation & design constantly improve, so a full content management system enables Porta to update information quickly & easily.

Stationery Design for Print

Brochure and Business Stationery

Porta Lancastrian required a full compliment of business stationery, which included our full carbon stationery service as well as the usual letterheads, business card designs and compliment slips all designed ready for print and delivered to the door.

Leaflet and Brochure Design

Porta Lancastrian Sales Literature

Sales leaflets and brochures are a key factor for Porta Lancastrian. We designed a number of full colour leaflets, from simple A4 4pp leaflets to A4 8pp brochures.

The lealfets are printed full colour, with each beer font shot printed with a spot UV finish which added emphasis and made the overall look and feel stand out from the rest!

Graphic Design for Print

Porta Lancastrian Sales Literature Folders

To keep all of Porta Lancastrian's brochures and leaflets organised, and looking fresh and professional, we designed their sales literature folders.

The folders were oversize A4 with a double pocket that included slots for business cards. It also had a 5mm gutter which increased the capacity for all the brochures to be simply slotted in to and handed to clients.

Logo Design and Sub Branding

Porta Lancastrian 'Station Creation' Sub Brand Logo Design

Porta's 'Station Creation' sub-brand was a unique selling point for them. This unique facilty allowed clients to combine several individual beer fonts in to one multi-dispense station.

We created the 'Station Creation' sub-brand logo, still keeping Porta's main brand values, but injecting a little bit of fun in to it!

Dedicated Windows Web Hosting

Porta Lancastrians website with content management system required a Windows Server for web hosting due to the website being developed in Microsoft's ASP with an Access database used for user login details.

Product Design and Illustration

Porta Lancastrian Product Illustrations

One of Porta Lancastrian's clients required a unique bespoke beer dispense font. So Porta approached our graphic designers to illustrate various elevations of the beer dispense font, branded with their clients logo.

Exhibition Design and Build

Porta Lancastrian Graphic Design for Exhibitions and Trade Shows

Exhibitions are an essential sales tool for Porta. After successfully re-branding & creating a new web presence, we were tasked with creating a full exhibition suite. Using our large format in-house printers and laminators we were able to construct the stands in our studio first.
