Fuse having recently received delivery of their new business cards with new branding. We have to say that we are very pleased with our new cards, they look great and we’ll be posting a picture of them up here once we launch our new branding in the coming weeks.

But, having said that we’ll be sad to see the old ones go, as we have found them to be extremely popular, they have cropped up on various design blogs, website galleries and have been published in two books.

Lets hope the new cards will be just as successful!

Fuse Design have recently created the new identity and business cards for Nottingham based networking group – ING.

The Independent Networking Group is unlike other networking groups. They have a collection of individuals from various different industries dedicated to networking without the strings and financial investments. The group generates a healthy source of leads in an atmosphere of mutual support without the need for substitutes, joining fees, pressure to bring any type of referral or attend every week.

The group meets at 07:15, Thursday mornings at Edwalton Golf Club. They run a ‘Pay as you go’ system. There is no joining fee, no membership fee and your first visit to our breakfast meetings will be free. If your interested in becoming a member or finding out more please email info@independentnetworking.co.uk.

Just had delivery of our samples of the Scott Prenn Business Cards, that we created for the new members of the Scott Prenn team.

The cards where printed using 2 spot colours onto a 400gsm board and where square rather than the conventional business card size of 88mm x 55mm, making them a little different!

Fuse have again been asked by Scott Prenn to create their latest clients, 24 page Funding Review Document.

The client is Vision for a Nation, who run an innovative program to provide universal access to eyeglasses, starting in Rwanda. For more details check out their site – www.visionforanation.org.

We’ll add a few images to our blog once the artwork has been approved and printed!

Fuse have recently returned from a great visit to Copenhagen.

You would expect Copenhagen and its surroundings to have something rather special up its sleeve in the art and design department and we were not disappointed. Copenhagen’s architectural richness is one of the first things that strikes you in city. From the delightful 17th century Dutch-style town houses that line the quay at Nyhavn to the dynamic modern extensions to venerable old buildings. The museums house impressive collections of both classic and modern Danish and international art and design, which was right up our street.

One of the highlights of the trip was the Danish Design Centre (DDC). The main exhibition on at the time was the ‘10+ Design Forecast’ which takes stock of Danish design in the first ten years of the new millennium and examines which design trends have a big role to play in the years to come.

If you’re interested in any aspect of design, then Copenhagen is certainly the place for you.

The Ghost Forest funding report covers where delivered to the client a few weeks ago. The covers which are to hold a report created by Scott Prenn, will be send to sponsors to gain funding for the Ghost Forests exhibition in Oxford this year.

The Mohawk stock which the covers where printed on, was kindly supplied from GF Smith, and was chosen due to its carbon neutral and environmental accreditations.

For more details on the forthcoming exhibition please visit the Ghost Forest website.

The PK Group have recently received delivery of their new corporate folder designed by Fuse.

The 2,000, 7 mm capacity folders where printed in 2 spot colours and had a matt lamination throughout and a gloss spot UV of their corporate pattern onto the outer cover.  The folders which used a bespoke cutting form, were very well received by all at the PK Group.

Up next, their new website!

Fuse have just designed and print managed Invitations for the Gorilla Organization.

The short print run of invites where digitally printed onto Tinteretto Gesso from Fedrigoni, and turned quickly around to meet a tight deadline.

The invitations where for the Chairman and Trustees of the Gorilla Organization, inviting their guests to a Summer Cocktail Reception in central London.

Fuse have just designed the logo and branding for a new online food hall where you can order your weekly shop directly from a range of chefs and cooks. The website is currently being designed and built by Fuse, but if this is something that interests you, whether you are a customer or a chef who is looking to get involved, visit www.gourmandie.com

Ghost Forest is a major art installation consisting of 10 primary rainforest tree stumps which were brought to Europe from Ghana, Western Africa by the artist Angela Palmer.

Working along side Scott Prenn, Fuse has been asked to create covers to a document that will generate interest and sponsorship for the forth coming 12 month exhibition at the Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum. The Exhibition that has previously been in Trafalgar Square and also Copenhagen, starts in July and is well worth a visit.

GF Smith have kindly provided paper for this Project, which is to be printed on their carbon neutral Mohawk range.
