				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>AIB Merchant Services Rebrand</h2>
<p>QBF were asked to develop a distinctive rebrand for AIB Merchant Services and implement it across their range of stationary, marketing literature, promotional material and web site.</p>
<h2>Corporate Colour</h2>
<p>A key element of the AIB Merchant Services rebrand was the use of the AIB “yellow” corporate colour which we used extensively in conjunction with a credit card shaped graphics. An image library and the creative appplication of images helps create the unique style.</p>
<p><strong>Brand Guidelines</strong></p>
<p>The guidelines clearly define the application of the identity.</p>
<h2><strong>AIB Merchants Services web site</strong></h2>
<p>The new branding was applied to the AIBMS web site which was build to deliver information and support to agents via a secure members area.</p>
<h2>Advertising</h2>
<p>The flexibility of the design allowed us create advertisements that integrated with the new branding.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Branding Forans</h2>
<p>The key challenge to redesigning the Foran branding was to acknowledge the brands rich history and at the same time develop a mark that represents a modern and progressive company with strong international links.</p>
<p>The final mark borrows greatly from the original but we streamlined the shapes and lines to create a more defined and modern identity.</p>
<p>With the introduction of a new image library, clearly defined rules governing the use of colours, fonts and graphic elements etc, QBF delivered a comprehensive branding solution.</p>
<h2>Labeling</h2>
<p>Forans export throughout the world and package labeling is a critical medium to promote the brand and build brand recognition. The new packaging template was created to allow for font and colour variations so stronger selling products can be easily recognised on the shelf.</p>
<h2>Animal Health Logo</h2>
<p>A subdivision of Foran Equine Products is Foran Animal Health, set up to promote products aimed specifically at farm animals other then horses. A new identity was designed with the focus on &#8220;other animals&#8221;, using the same shape and graphical elements as the original Forans logo.</p>
<h2>Advertising</h2>
<p>The same visual language is maintained throughout the corporate advertising.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many years Dublin Crystal have supplied the finest cut crystal gifts, trophies and awards from their showrooms in Dundrum. Now, with the help of QBF, they are global. In September 2012 we launched their new Dublin Crystal ecommerce website which they manage and control themselves. As well as redesigning the site we developed a content management area in Magento which plugs seemlessly into an ecommerce gateway.</p>
<p>We wish them every success in their new venture.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Graphic Design for Drumcondra Credit Union</h1>
<p>As part of an ongoing drive to develop business in the local <strong>Drumcondra Credit Union</strong> <strong>Graphic Design consultants Quick Brown Fox</strong> were asked to develop a campaign that can be run out over the year to build awareness of the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Drumcondra Credit Union" href="http://www.drumcondracu.ie"><strong>credit union</strong></a> and their <strong>services</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Upper Drumcondra Road</strong> attracts a lot of passing traffic and we wanted a concept that would catch drivers attention as they wait for the traffic lights to change. &#8220;Loan Zone&#8221; is the first of four concepts to be launched &#8211; beginning on the first week of July.</p>
<p>The campaign is applied throughout the branch on window graphics, pop up displays and TV graphics.</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;</strong><em>QBF were engaged by Friends First as part of its major re-brand project. This was more than just a name change or <a title="Branding &amp; Identity - Web &amp; Graphic Design" href="http://www.qbf.ie/portfolio/logos.html">identity</a> generation as the business was moving from a sub office culture of another business to becoming a standalone autonomous business and all that follows from that. QBF developed a full suite for the complex needs of the business across nearly a dozen product categories and approximately 300 different pieces of collateral. The outcome was superb with a clear differentiated suite that allowed us make a statement internally and externally in the marketplace. Hot on the heels of that re-brand came the year 2000 changeover and then the introduction of the Financial Regulator and the resultant need for a further revamp to be compliant. On each occasion QBF secured the business on merit. Their attention to the brief and final</em><br />
<em>delivery was second to none. Deadlines were always met, complex requests sorted and final designs were first rate.</em><strong>&#8220;</strong></p>

<p><em></em><strong>&#8220;</strong><em>When I moved into Musgraves at the beginning of ‘08 I was happy to recommend the services of Quick Brown Fox in light of the successful relationship we had build up in my previous career. Their professional approach to projects both large and small along with a practical understanding of the Musgraves brand allow us explore and visualise concepts in an effordless way. Projects have always moved smoothly and we look forward to working with QBF into 2009.</em><strong>&#8220;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&#8220;</strong><em>My target market is blue-chip companies so I wanted a website that projects quality and a professional approach as well as freshness and warmth. </em></p>
<p><em>QBF did an excellent job for me and I get a lot of positive feedback on the website. The difference it makes to my business is that potential clients are more willing to take the time to meet me once they have seen the website &#8211; and that gives me a much better chance to make a sale. It is not easy developing a website from scratch but QBF were always fun to deal with and were very patient with my many, many changes.</em><strong>&#8220;</strong></p>

<p>The original brochure and poster, that you designed for the association has been sent to every GP in the country ,each year, for the past three years. We are continually being complemented on this and on the web-site which you look after for us.<br />
Your input to the quarterly newsletter has been invaluable.<br />
I wish you and your fantastic staff contined success.<strong>&#8220;</strong></p>

<p><strong>&#8220;</strong><em>When General Lighting&#8217;s website became dull &amp; dreary, Quick Brown Fox presented us with a solution&#8230;.. &#8220;Simplicity&#8221;, why complicate or try to change a name which quite simply says it all. This was probably the most honest and the most sensible answer we had received during the time we ourselves had spent trying to come up with an idea for redesigning our site. Often we cannot see what is quite obvious and this is what Quick Brown Fox offer, they are a company which don&#8217;t just see the payment at the end of the job but they see the company, the people and the product which results in a creative innovative redesign of an otherwise very standard website. General Lighting are grateful to all at Quick Brown Fox who were involved in providing our company with a new <a title="Identity &amp; Branding - Web &amp; Graphic Design" href="http://www.qbf.ie/portfolio/logos.html">identity</a> and a website which is now both functional and professional and we certainly look forward to working with Quick Brown fox again on future <a title="Client Projects - Graphic &amp; Web Design" href="http://www.qbf.ie/client-projects">projects</a>.</em><strong>&#8220;</strong></p>
