Great to see you feature local work David. McCadden Design has been producing great work for many years. You might like to check out Triplicate Design http://triplicatedesign.com/ too – their offices are equally wonderful! :-)

Belfast has come a long way since 1996, Matthew. I hope you’ll have another chance to visit one day, and I’m glad you found it a nice place to see.

Cheers, Stephen. I’ll showcase more local studios in the near future.

Thanks for everyone’s other comments, too.

Some great examples here from a well-known designers. I’d have to say their design style is very evident in each of the logos, you can see their input on each, however they are all equally unique and interesting.

I particularly like the Titanic Quarter design, with the name and funnels it is immediately evident what the design is referencing, yet it is a modern take and actually rather simplistic.

The Capella logo is also particularly good, it doesn’t take any reading of the company description to work out they are related to sciences in some manner. Again this shares the same approach as Titanic Quarter, as it’s relatively simple design and usage of a single colour shows the trademarks of McCadden.
Looking forward to more company profiles in the near future.

I spent a week in Belfast in 1996 and was struck by the incredible energy and creative spirit. Nice to see that the design work more than exceeds any expectations I had from my brief stay. Great work (and a beautiful city).

After doing logo design after logo design the last few weeks I have to say I now appreciate more than ever the work that goes into simple logos like these that convey a message.

When we see simple logos it is easy to say “I could have done that!” But it takes a great designer to be able to distill the feeling of a company into a single logo. These are great.
