We had a lot of fun in creating the branding material for up-and-coming progressive rock band, King Willow; a 3-piece group hailing from England.
Along with creating the logo and artwork for the band's independently produced demo release, "Introductions & Demonstrations", we also designed their website and the promotional photography
to go alongside press releases and marketing.
Check out more of the work in the Work section above and be sure to listen to the band's demo and catch them at a live venue near you!

We often get the opportunity to work with various industries and sectors and one of the most exciting fields (which we are passionate about) is architecture. We appreciate architecture's pivotal role in shaping the world around us with design as a whole and we share a passion for the visual aesthetic, the function of form and the effect it has on people.
One such progressive architecture firm is, Kiü Architecture. Based in
South Africa, they tackle each new project with an elevated degree of innovation, custom design and forward thinking.
We are working on their website and their rebranding to reflect their professionalism and enhance their international appeal, but, in the meantime, here is a taster of things to come...

It's been awhile since our last update but De Zuiden has been busy with new clients and exciting projects with much in the pipeline. One exciting development in recent months has been the completion of the rebranding of Newspepper. Working closely with the founder, Hermione Way, De Zuiden has helped bring the brand to a global stage and make it more appealing to an international market.
We designed the new logo, video top & tail ident (watch in the Work section above or down below), website and corporate identity, in conjunction with the brains at Decode who developed the site's back-end and CMS.

De Zuiden has been fortunate enough to post-produce the latest music video from the artist, Marina Celeste of Nouvelle Vague fame. Utilising raw digital footage of Marina performing in front of a green screen and incorporating animated hand-made illustrations as well as Super 8 film footage, Love is the First Born takes the viewer on a nostalgic journey through suggested emotions and dreamlike wheatfield imagery.
De Zuiden edited, animated and colour graded the video which can be seen below via Vimeo, or can be seen above in the Work section.

We were fortunate enough to be the prefered design partners for the upcoming independent feature film, 'RU-486'. A topical drama produced in the United Kingdom by Xylomancy Films, this film tackles the sensitive and controversial issue surrounding abortion and how it affects the lives of those involved.
Superbly directed by Irene Maffei, De Zuiden's challenge was to capture the essence and the mood of the film and translate it into promotional material. We designed the film's title logo, the one-sheet (theatrical poster) and the accompanying website. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Eliot and his team so keep an eye out for the release, coming in 2010.

When things come together nicely and a plan is executed well, a pat on the back is in order. Such is the ongoing success of Newspepper, an Internet video production company started by the entrepreneurial talents of Hermione Way.
De Zuiden provided the ident for Newspepper's online videos. We dabbled in a bit of sound design for this project as well. It's hot (pun intended and utterly shameless).
See it in our Work section, or head on over to newspepper.com for more information on this great start-up...

Our business cards have arrived and we're ever so proud. Isn't it curious how the phenomenon of the business card design has become a sort of sub-culture of cool and identity? A statement of, "Here we are. We mean business! Now, can we have some please?"
Since we like gold, we thought we'd foil ours a bit on the top, and keep the bottom minimal. It helps maintain our mysteriousness. Please don't throw ours away. They cost a bit.

Gears are an important part of our lives: they make our cars fast, help our watches tell the time and make it easier to climb a hill on a bicycle.
De Zuiden identifies with the efficiency and importance of a well-oiled gearing system which is reflected in our latest branding spot. Take a look in the Work section to see what we mean.
