Thomas Design gets a facelift

It maybe a little overdue but Thomas Design finally gets a new logo and a much needed facelift. Like any business it inevitably has to adapt to keep with the times and where our core services have expanded and modernised to meet the demands of our customers, our logo and stationery was seriously slacking behind! Our aim was to create a simplistic, modern style logo that could easily be adapted to suit most requirements and clearly portray the type of business we are; and the diverse services we are now able to offer.
