Our sister blog – curious casa has been nominated for the Blog Awards Ireland 2013! We are honoured to have also made it onto the long list.

Our category is The Best Blog of an SME business, sponsored by Sage.

The blogging community in Ireland continues to grow and blossom, we have such a wealth of blogging talent for our little size!

Congratulations to all the other bloggers who were long listed. We can’t wait to find out who will make it onto the short list.

Some good advice about logo design from will.i.am, although I think he got a little lost in India!

Here is an example of a new logo that we have just finished working on for our lovely client Stewart from Noctor Furniture. We think it ticks all the right boxes.

Stewart’s new website launched today, congratulations Stewart!

I was delighted to be interviewed recently by the Wicklow Enterprise Board for the “hot seat” series on their blog. You can read the full interview here

At curious we like doing things a little differently, so instead of a New Years offer, we’d like to share the love and celebrate Valentine’s Day by offering a special 10% discount off all new jobs until the first of March.

Simply mention this blog post when booking in your job and you can get 10% off the design of your new logo, website, business cards, signage, brochure, newsletter – whatever takes your fancy!

To find out more send us an email at hello@curiousdesign.ie, or give us a call on 01 453 7907 – we’d love to hear from you!

PS – this offer IS transferable, so if you know someone in search of a new design partner send them our way!

Offer available on all new projects booked in by deposit between February 14th -March 1st 2013. Quotes older than six months may need to be reissued. Discount applies to design services only.

Why begin a new year in the coldest month when spirits are a little low after Christmas? January should be a month reserved for snuggling up and not a whole lot more! February on the other hand is full of excitement and promise. Flowers are beginning to bloom, the evenings are getting brighter and the nip in the air is warming up.

To celebrate our new year beginning today, we have decided to do a little house keeping and spring cleaning in our curious world. The first project to get a polish and a chance to shine is a website we have just recently launched for an extremely talented wedding cinematographer – Rodolphe from Best Day Productions.

Here is one of his beautiful films, visit his site for more video candy!
