CARDINAL YACHT CARE

Creating a brand identity for a new business start-up.

About.

Cardinal Yacht Care is a premier yacht detailing and maintenance provider, serving all marinas along the South Coast and Solent - from Lymington to Chichester, and including the Isle of Wight. Their comprehensive services range from routine washdowns to advanced machine compounding, polishing and waxing of hulls and topsides.

Challenge.

As a new business start-up, business owner Andrew enlisted our help to create a brand identity for his venture, including a logo, website and other branded assets to promote Cardinal Yacht Care’s services and to convey their brand image as professional and reliable, delivering excellence and attention to detail.

Solution.

We created a brand identity and logo to reflect their company ethos and then carried this through in their newly-designed website and branded assets. The colour palette of yellow and black was chosen to correspond with the colours of cardinal marks. The use of black also helps to convey the brand image as smart and professional, along with the bold choice of typeface.

Logo Design

The client wanted to draw inspiration for the logo from cardinal marks, which are used to indicate the safest and deepest water for vessels to navigate. We therefore used a colour palette of yellow and black to correspond with those colours. The use of the downward facing triangles/arrows mirror those found on the south cardinal mark, to represent the south coast location of their business.

Website Design

Produced in line with the brief of delivering a professional, friendly and easy to use website to showcase their services. The newly-designed brand logo, typeface and colour palette were applied consistently throughout the site and the layout was simple and easy to navigate. The website was also futureproofed, to allow the start up business to expand it's digital footprint as the business grows.

Mobile Design

As a high proportion of users would be likely to access the website on a mobile device, the mobile version of the website was carefully designed to ensure that it provided users with an easy, functional and engaging user experience across devices.
