Spatial Frameworks seeks to make public space better. For these architectural and public space consultants, the Greek Agora is timeless inspiration in the face of modern challenges.
As brand managers we helped coin the name, designed the logotype, stationery and website. We provide ongoing communication coaching and strategic consulting services on a range of academic, private and public sector projects.

The art is not Minimalist but the business cards are.
They make a striking impression with economy of means.
Subject, name and dot com are one.
Less information, more curiosity.
People find them fun.

We designed the posters and did a social media, email and real world marketing campaign for Stuart Barnes Art Workshops. The workshop series has a focus on a fun and open approach to art that encourages free flowing expression in a variety of media. The first workshop was held at iNyonini Guest Farm in 2011, set in a serene bushveld environment with a beautiful thatched roof event venue. It was a learning success and all round fun experience for everyone involved.

- Clear typography and layout
- Simple elegance and ease of use
- Successful communication in style
These are the goals for the new TH Designs Architectural Studio website.
We managed the project, directed the photography, designed the interface and wrote the copy and code.
It’s always nice and rewarding to be involved in creating a brand name and logo and following it through with content and design for printed material and online media.
While photographing homes we were met by many happy clients who love living in Tracy Hepburn Designs. Well received work and good relationships are always an inspiration.

STUART BARNES DESIGN coined the name, designed the logo and manages the brand.

STUART BARNES DESIGN was commissioned to develop the corporate identity and branding for London based communications consultancy Lucid. The objective was to develop a brand that represents the clear, concise and precise communication principles and reputation of the company. We agreed on a minimal and elegant no-nonsense graphic language and designed a striking and unique logo set against clean, spacious layouts with fresh, vibrant colours and clear contrasts. The bold continuous lucid line of the logo runs through all stationery and branded products. It is instantly recognizable and achieves good legibility with economy of means.

We were approached by architectural design studio Tracy Hepburn Designs to create their logo and develop their brand. Their studio is based in the heart of the Garden Route region of South Africa and they work for a wide range of clients locally and globally. They take pride in strong relationships and have a special interest in timber homes that marry flawless functional design and attention to detail with a homely personal touch. The logo fuses classic home iconography with bold architectural graphic lines and contemporary typography.


Our business cards are fresh off the press. We went for a spacious, classic, minimal style.
