§ 01 — Studio
A studio for businesses
that refuse to blend in.
Est. Swansea · 2022

We build brands for the corner café, the high-street florist, the second-album band, the indie that's outgrowing its wordpress site — the businesses corporate agencies no-one else takes seriously.

Web, identity, photography and print under one roof. One brief, one team, one consistent visual system from the screen to the shop window.

No templates. No off-the-shelf solutions. No agency theatre. Every project is built from scratch around what makes you genuinely different.

§ 03 — Capabilities
What we do.
Four disciplines, one studio
A.

Brand Identity

Naming, logo systems, typography, colour, voice, and the rules that hold it all together. A complete identity that survives contact with the real world — packaging, posters, websites, the side of a van.

Logo · Typography · Voice · Guidelines
→ 01 / 04
B.

Web & Digital

From a one-page site that closes the deal to full e-commerce. We design and build everything ourselves, so the thing that ships is the thing we drew. Fast, considered, built to grow.

Marketing site · E-commerce · CMS · Email
→ 02 / 04
C.

Photography & Film

Brand imagery that feels like the brand. Product, lifestyle, on-location, drone, short-form social — shot, graded and delivered as a usable image library, not a one-off folder.

Brand · Product · Editorial · Motion
→ 03 / 04
D.

Print & Object

Books, menus, packaging, posters, signage, business cards that don't feel like business cards. We design it; we project-manage the print partners we trust to do it right, in the UK.

Editorial · Packaging · Signage · Stationery

Dastardly & Muttley — 2026 Studio Statement
§ 04 — Process
How it goes.
A four-stage system
01/

Brief & Discover

A real conversation, not a form. We dig into the business, the market, and what makes you genuinely different from everyone else doing the same thing on your high street.

~ 1 — 2 weeks
02/

Strategy & Direction

Before a pixel moves, we lock the direction. Visual territory, tone, references, competitive landscape — the thinking that makes everything else actually land.

~ 1 week
03/

Design & Build

The full system — logo, colour, type, web, print. Every element built to work together. Nothing off-the-shelf. We iterate until it's exactly right and you can't imagine it any other way.

~ 4 — 8 weeks
04/

Deliver & Launch

A handoff that actually makes sense — files, brand guidelines, and a system you can run yourself. We stay on hand for whatever comes next, because most projects don't end at launch.
