We are excited to announce our brand new shiny offices in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter! As we’ve been in business now for six years, we thought it was high time we had a change of scene.

With more office space to spread out and more wall-space to display our work and lots of lovely natural light, we’re very much looking forward to this next phase for Two Thirds Design. We’re conveniently located, with easy access to Birmingham’s main railway stations, client parking, lots of cafes and a two-minute stroll from St Paul’s Square.

Please pop in for tea and biscuits – we have parking!!

Wildlife Road Show

Full brand development for outdoor summer roadshow designed to attract interest and curiosity at busy venues. An intriguing campaign of postcards, magnets, posters, branded seed packets and large format imagery.

It’s about time…

It’s a case of busman’s holiday really. Carly got married last summer, (a big congratulations to the now Mrs Mills!) and because of this name change, we decided it was high time we re-designed our new business cards. But it’s taken us a whole nine months to get around to re-designing them, what with one thing or another, but at last, here they are in all their finished glory. It’s involved a lot of looking at pantone swatches, sifting through lovely GF Smith paper samples, and discussing print processes such as de-bossing and foil-blocking with Team Impression, who were very helpful and patient as ever.

And we’re very happy with the results!

How Wild is Your Life?

Good question. It’s what Julia Morris and her team from the Black Country Living Landscape will be asking members of the public over the coming summer months. So if you spy some strange looking wildlife at these venues, we’re sure you’ll be intrigued enough to find out more…

Sunday 7th August – Northycote Farm, Wolverhampton
Wednesday 10th August – Moorcroft Wood LNR, Walsall
Sunday 14th August – Sandwell Park Farm, Sandwell
Tuesday 16th August – Bumble Hole LNR, Dudley

So at Two Thirds we’ve been helping them put together an intriguing campaign of postcards, magnets, posters and imagery – you’ll be amazed what wildness you’ll find out there!

Raising the Barr

gill — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 14:07:58 +0000

The restoration of Barr Beacon’s historic features and community pride.

We’ve been a bit quiet on our blog posts of late, the main reason being that at the Two Thirds office we’ve been heads down helping out Jeff McBride, Countryside Project Development Officer from Walsall Council with an exciting new Heritage Lottery Funding application. This could mean exciting changes to Barr Beacon over the coming couple of years, involving the public with all sorts of exciting events using new technologies. We’ve provided Jeff with research into development of multi-platform educational resources, public consultation and information gathering solutions along with a white paper on the suitability a mobile interactive application.

So watch this space for progress updates…

The Feast new web site

We’ve been working recently with Tim Fawssett, Project Manager from The Feast and we’re happy to announce their brand new fully customised WordPress site.

We have worked closely with Tim to completely re-brand and re-structure their site andTim has thrown himself into fully using and understanding the WordPress technology. It’s been a pleasure to work with The Feast and we are happy that they are getting great feedback on their new site.

Golden Hillock Secondary School

carly — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:51:13 +0000

Golden Hillock is a good example of how some of our design ideas can make a difference and enhance the identity of a school. Pupils and teachers, pictures, thoughts and questions were used to create engaging displays and inspirational backdrops.

St John’s School – History Project

Geraint — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:46:02 +0000

This school has a long and interesting history which became a focus of many school projects, involving the pupils and staff as researchers, creative writing, collections, thoughts and ideas. So that the work was not lost our brief was to create a permanent resource for the school and a starting point for further projects.

It includes vinyl on to glass, a display with 3D canvases, a booklet and a domed display area for 3D objects. As well as a bespoke cabinet created from acrylic with vinyl graphics, and interactive rotating magnetic cube display and transparent hanging ‘thought bubbles’.

The end result is a wow factor reception which not only showcases the school project but promotes further investigation and questions.

St Saviours – School Identity

carly — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:43:11 +0000

A school working hard to develop and enhance it’s environment for a growing community. The school already had an existing strong identity in place and felt the need to upgrade the quality of their logo’s design and presentation. A new version of the school badge was created alongside a clean and contemporary application of it to all the school branding.
