Celebrating 15 Years of Picture Smiths

As Picture Smiths approaches 15 years in business, not only can we hardly believe where that time has gone, but we’re feeling incredibly proud and a little reflective. This milestone means a lot, not only 15 years of Picture Smiths, but also of great relationships, of a passion for creativity and of the trust by our clients that have brought us to this point. A big thank you to you all.

With some clients having been with us from the very start, we’ve grown and evolved together and fittingly, one of the things we’ve become known for is helping our clients mark their own milestones.

Whether creating a visual identity for an anniversary campaign, refreshing a brand or designing celebratory content, we love nothing more than getting involved and showcasing these proud moments. Over our 15 years we’ve had the pleasure of helping many clients mark the occasion of everything from five to 160 years in business.

Here are just a few of the anniversary projects we’ve been very proud to design:

15 Years of Bolster Moor Farm Shop

This beloved farm shop in the hills above Huddersfield, has become an absolute institution. A destination for great local produce, champion pies, award-winning sausages, a hugely popular coffee shop and a truly likeable team, with a great sense of humour.

The farm shop’s 15th anniversary was an opportunity to celebrate their story, their local community roots and dedication to good honest food. We designed an identity milestone mark that stayed true to their values: warm, welcoming and down-to-earth.

40 Years of Vicon

For 40 years, Vicon has been at the forefront of motion capture, making it the gold standard and world leader in its field. A visionary business that has been pushing boundaries for decades, its DNA can be found in a variety of applications, from  blockbuster films to elite sports analysis, to groundbreaking research projects in life sciences through to the development of games that feature all your favourite characters. Vicon enables motion capture innovation to happen across the globe and its incredible four decades had to be celebrated with slick confidence. We created a visual identity that simply and confidently reflected its iconic position in the world of motion capture today

160 Years of James Hare

This historic British textile brand was formed by James Hare in 1865. Some five generations later James Hare is still run by the same family and is esteemed globally. Celebrating 160 years was no small feat and we felt honoured to work with the business on an identity that paid homage to its astounding heritage, whilst highlighting its continued relevance in today’s world of signature silks and textiles.

5 Years of Kin

Fun and delicious, Kin is a vibrant bubble tea shop with a growing fanbase. It brings colour and flavour in every cup and our branding playfully positions it as a standout high street business. For Kin’s 5^th birthday, we created visuals that leant into their playful energy, allowing both loyal customers and new bubble tea fans to celebrate this sweet success story.

25 Years of The Wedding Shop, Colchester

A quarter of a century of helping brides choose their wedding dress is a milestone to be celebrated! The Wedding Shop in Colchester is a trusted name in bridalwear, having helped create years of memories and thousands of happy brides. Our 25-year anniversary icon captured moment with the steadfast reliability they are known for.

A Shared Appreciation for Longevity

We know that anniversaries and milestones are so much more than just a date in the calendar. In business they represent stories of perseverance, of passion and of people at the heart of it all. After an amazing 15 years in business ourselves at Picture Smiths, we absolutely understand how meaningful these stories are.

So whether you’re marking a year a century or anything in between, we’d love nothing more than to help you celebrate in style. Just as we have for so many others.
