Graphic Design in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire

For an Eastwood business it starts with the logo, and then everything it has to go on, which round here means a shop front on Nottingham Road or the side of a van. I’m in Belper, so on paper I’m Derbyshire and you’re Notts, but nobody in Eastwood works to that line, and neither do I. I’ll come over and sort it.

Who does small business branding in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire?

North Bear Media does. Norton Hunt runs it from Belper, just over the Derbyshire border, and designs logos and branding for small businesses in Eastwood and across Broxtowe, including shop sign and van wrap artwork. He has done graphic design since his live events days. Projects are priced once scoped, and the £295 Marketing MOT is the usual start.

Eastwood’s on the border, so a lot of your brand gets seen out on the road.

A lot of Eastwood trades work both sides of the Notts and Derbyshire line without a second thought, so the first time somebody sees you is often the van at the lights, not anything online.

For the shops along Nottingham Road it’s the front and the A-board out on the pavement. People walk past those every day, and they decide whether you look established long before they’ve ever been in.

So for an Eastwood business I design the logo, then make it work at every size it has to go, tiny on a business card and massive on the side of a van, without the green turning into a slightly different green every time somebody else prints it. If you’re a retailer or you make something locally, I do the labels and the packaging too, because that’s what people take home.

One thing people don’t expect is that it helps with search too. When the name and the logo on your Google listing match the ones on your website, Google and ChatGPT can tell it’s all one business. It’s one piece of being found, and it’s a piece I get right while I’m doing the design anyway.

So how would paying for a logo or a rebrand actually work?

It’s a project. I find out what the job is, give you a price for it, and nothing starts until you’ve said yes.

There’s no design price list on here, because a logo for somebody just setting up and the artwork for a shop with a couple of vans are different jobs. I’ll come and look and give you one proper price. It’s a lot cheaper than hiring a designer: no salary, no training, and I bring the software and the know-how.

If the branding isn’t the problem and it’s more that the enquiries have dropped off, start with the Marketing MOT. It’s £295 and you can buy it on here without talking to me. It’s six checks on how you’re getting found, ChatGPT first and then Google, with two competitors near you scored the same way, back in 48 hours.

Found & Filmed is my standard monthly package, at £995 a month, rolling with 30 days’ notice. That’s being found on Google and in AI search, with a filming day at yours every quarter, so a new logo is always priced as its own job.

How a logo for an Eastwood business usually comes together.

Here’s how it runs, whether it’s brand new or a tidy up of something you’ve had for years.

  1. 01 //

    A chat first

    You tell me who buys from you and where the logo’s going to live, and send me a few brands you like the look of, from any trade.

  2. 02 //

    More than one idea

    I come back with a few different directions, because design comes down to taste and it’s your taste that counts here.

  3. 03 //

    Adjusting it

    We pick one and I keep refining it with you until you’d be proud to see it on a van going down Nottingham Road.

  4. 04 //

    The files

    You get print-ready versions for the sign maker and smaller ones for the website and Facebook, with a short guide to your colours and fonts.

A farm shop in Matlock, a recovery firm in Alfreton and an electric van company. Three trades, and I’ve made each of them look the part.

Common questions about graphic design in Eastwood.

How much does graphic design cost in Eastwood?

Graphic design is priced as a project, so I scope the job and give you a price before any work starts. There’s no fixed list, because a single logo and a rebrand with a shop sign and van artwork are different jobs. To check your marketing more widely first, the Marketing MOT is £295, and Found & Filmed, my monthly retainer, is £995 a month with no design in it.

How long does a logo design take?

That comes down to the brief and how quickly you pick a direction, and I set a timeline when I scope it. A logo on its own is quicker than a full identity with signs and print to follow, and I’ll keep it moving.

What files do I get?

You get the logo as print-ready vector files, which is what sign makers and printers ask for, and PNGs for your website and social media. A short brand guide covering your colours and fonts comes with them.

Can you refresh my existing branding?

Yes, I can refresh what you’ve already got instead of starting again. Sometimes that’s a tidy up of the logo and colours and sometimes it needs a full rebrand, and I’ll tell you straight which one you need.

Do you design for print and digital?

Yes, I design for both. The same logo and colours go on your shop sign and van as on your website and Facebook page, with the files set up properly for each.

Do you work in Nottinghamshire?

Yes. I’m based in Belper, Derbyshire, and I work with businesses in Eastwood and the rest of Broxtowe. I come out to your place, or we do it on a call.
