New look for Facebook? Unlike
Posted by
A concept from Fred Nerby: a new look and concept for Facebook.
He designed it to “…encourag[e] user behaviour and a greater control of data within a responsive grid…” Little does Fred know I don’t need much more encouragement.

Nicework: The SACI
Posted by
The SACI, or The SA Consumer Initiative needed a makeover. Nicework stepped in to give this company a positive new look to help it gain favour in the minds of consumers.
We based the new logo design on the idea of a ‘stamp of quality’, which implies professionalism, quality and trustworthiness. This is how it came out:
We then rolled out the rest of the website following this design cue, keeping it simple yet still visually interesting.

Nicework: Meditech
Posted by
To celebrate three decades in the field of healthcare technology, MEDITECH South Africa wanted something truly special. Nicework took on this challenge, and came up with the idea of ’30 years: 30 stories’.
This idea translated into fun, colourful icon artworks, which tell the stories of how Meditch has impacted the lives of everyday people.
For the event, we curated an innovative exhibition to showcase these stories and celebrate the company’s great achievements.
We also created a website, which continued the line-dot design style we developed for the event branding. You can see the website in action here.

Nicework: DCD
Posted by
Heavy engineering firm DCD needed a new name and consolidated brand identity under which to house their different business divisions. The new brand had to be simple, distinct, identifiable from a distance and versatile in application. Nicework, being the branding pros that we are, stepped up to this weighty challenge.
To get our thinking going on the right tracks, we visited sites and immersed ourselves in the world of heavy engineering. The resultant design became known as ‘The Boiler Plate’ and formed the basis for the rebrand.
This bold, easily legible logotype was then applied across all the divisions of the company. We used colour to give each division its own sub-identity.
The cut off corner became a holding shape for all the design material we created, and one the client could own as a unique feature of their brand identity.

The.Internet.
Posted by
Ever wondered what the internet actually looks like? Most of us use the internet every single day, but it’s more an ubiquitous presence than a tangible entity. Despite this, the internet actually has a ‘face’ so to speak, and this is what “one of the most powerful server networks in the known universe” (Google) looks like:
