Our clients.

Here is a small selection of projects we have worked on with our clients.

One brand identity design for ONMSD’s 30 entities.

The Office of the Nursing and Midwifery Services Director (ONMSD) works to strategically lead and support nurses and midwives to deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care. The ONMSD includes 8 Nursing and Midwifery Planning and Development Units (NMPDUs), 20 HSE Centres of Nursing and Midwifery Education (CNMEs) and The National Clinical Leadership Centre.

All these entities used to have their own brand identity design, which could make communication challenging. Now they all share the same icon. The circle denotes continuity and the N & M letters signify the importance of the connectivity between the two professions. In order to symbolise Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland, these words are made prominent in the logo.

As well as the brand identity design we have designed a wide variety of posters, infographics and brochures for The Office of the Nursing and Midwifery Services Director. Here's a few examples:

May was great to work with from the start to the finish of our project. She sat and listened, designed and listened again and then redesigned until we got our logo right for the organisation! We are really happy with the end result.

Branding Design to communicate the craft and skill of cooking.

Tracy Rennie is a Michelin-trained chef and has worked at the prestigious Cellars Hohenhort (Relais Chateuax), Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud and La Maison des Gourmets. As a chef she has catered for private clients in London, Berlin, Scotland, South Africa and Antigua.

Tracy’s sole aim is to maximise taste and depth of flavour whether cooking the simplest or the most refined dishes. She believes in the craft and skill of cooking and is not a fan of gimmicks.

Hence this clear and clean brand identity design. No colours to distract from the food photography, just a simple black and white design, with an icon that illustrates the delicious aroma from the food.

Testimonial
May is wonderful to work with, she has a fantastic clear and precise vision and a totally can-do attitude. She has great ability to hear what you need as a client and then create beautifully. I highly recommend May.

Brand new name and look for the most experienced skin clinic in Dublin.

A significant business change led to us developing a new name and brand identity design for a Medical Aesthetic ‘clinic’ to replace the current Nuala Woulfe Beauty Salon on Glasthule Road in Sandycove.

A new word, a new meaning; ‘NU’ are the first two letters in Nuala Woulfe’s name. It also sounds like the word NEW which works well for this clinic as that’s how you will feel after a treatment! The logo communicates a clean and professional environment and both the interior and the exterior had a makeover also.

Here’s a ‘before and after’ photograph of the exterior for NU:

Serenity Day Spa has been a sanctuary from stress since 2005 but it needed a proper facelift to complement the brand new Nu. These two businesses are quite different, NU is all about research and results and Serenity Spa is all about relaxation and wellbeing. The brand identity design share the circle element and the colours compliment one another, but they communicate the different USPs.

Two press ads to feature in Irish Tatler:

I requested May to come up with some ideas re name, branding & logo for my clinic Nu Aesthetics in Glasthule. I found May very professional to deal with. She listened to the brief and designed a logo to match. I can happily recommend May.

Brand identity design for National Nutrition Alliance.

National Nutrition Alliance (NNA) is a collaboration of organisations working towards evidence based information on nutrition and diet. A lot of my logo designs reflect my love for typography. Here I think the letter ‘A’ works well as a triangle shape which is the shape of the classic food pyramid.

Testimonial
May designed a new logo for us at the National Nutrition Alliance. She was fantastic to deal with and we love the end result incorporating the Irish Food Pyramid into the design. I have no hesitation recommending May for all your branding project needs.
Louise Reynolds, Communications Manager at INDI

We have designed several posters, brochures etc. for the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute (INDI) over the years. Here's an infographic banner to celebrate their 60th anniversary.

Branding design to communicate peace of mind.

PacSana is an unobtrusive aide that records unexpected or sudden changes in movement patterns in the home, enabling active elderly to extend their independence. The product is a silicone wrist band that remains in constant contact with two or more gateways located around the home.

The name Pacsana is a made-up name. The idea came from the two latin words Pax and Sana. Pax means peace. Sana means mind. Using the ‘x’ in the name did not sound reassuring enough in my opinion, though, so we changed it to a ‘c’.

The font we used for the logo communicates "peace of mind" and the “p’ in the logo is shaped as a bracelet.

Here's a large banner design.

Testimonial
May did a terrific job for us. She was great to work with. She got the brief immediately and produced a stunning logo and supporting materials that clearly identify the brand we are creating. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Feargal Duignan, CEO PacSana

A brand identity design with a photography focus.

Matt Jones is an award winning wood turner. After five years in business he needed a fresh approach which communicated his credentials, awards and new products along with his ethical stance, his story and personality in such a way that it attracted new customers and strengthened the relationship with his existing customers.

I wanted to let the beautiful wood work speak for itself with a simple wood shaped brand identity design. We also provided direction on how to photograph his products in order to sell online.

Testimonial
Penny and May recently helped me conceive a new business plan. Included in this was a marketing strategy, a new logo and website. I’m very happy with all the work Trumpet did for me. Penny and May are very thorough, committed and easy to work with.
Matt Jones, wood turner

May did a great job designing a logo for our new veterinary practice. May gave us a fabulous recommendation on the colours in particular; and we love the modern twist and fresh, friendly, and yet professional end result.
Fionnuala Rogers, Park Pets

I was at the beginning of starting up my business and needed a brand identity and a logo. A friend recommended I talk to May Sivertsen of Trumpet. I met with May and immediately knew I had made the right decision. May explored many areas of my brand with me and really took the time to fully understand my brand proposition, my objectives and indeed help develop my brand story.

May dug deep to understand the personality of my brand and how I saw it differently to competitors. May digested all of the information and the result was a beautiful simple clean logo. May really took the time to understand what I really wanted to convey and reflected that into one simple piece of design. May was so enthusiastic and willing throughout the whole process, her passion for design and brands & attention to detail is inspiring and I would have no hesitation in recommending May.

Having worked with Trumpet on the creation of our new corporate logo, brochure and redesign of our corporate stationery, the next logical step for us was to upgrade our website.

It’s been hassle-free from start to finish, safe in the hands of Trumpet! We look forward to working with them for many more years.
