Why 1984 was the greatest year for music (in my opinion)

Carl Jones Design is an experienced, business-minded creative consultancy established 15 years ago in 2003. We specialise in strategy-led design for branding – including brochures, websites, packaging and logos.

From our busy creative studio in the picturesque Shropshire Hills, we bring together over 50 years of combined design experience to create compelling brands for a diverse range of sectors. 

We believe great design is about so more than just aesthetics; it’s about understanding your audience, reflecting clear values, shaping perceptions and building instant recognition. 

At Carl Jones Design, we work in close partnership with our clients to understand their ideals, their challenges and their objectives, fusing our creative expertise with a strong focus on strategy and sharp commercial awareness to build inspiring brand personas. 

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do – our goal is to bring brands to life and empower businesses and organisations to successfully compete in their marketplace. 

What is brand design?

Brand design is a tool for improving business effectiveness. It’s that simple.

Brand storytelling

Brands need an authentic story something that connects with people, and we need that story to create successful design.

Creating the extraordinary

Each brand identity or logo that we design is crafted and created with attention to detail. The same applies to brochures, packaging and websites.

Benefit from our experience

We believe that our combined wealth of experience of working in London agencies, on leading brands across a whole range of sectors, is highly applicable and valuable to all types of client.

We are a small team of experienced graphic designers, specialising in brand and logo design, graphic design and brand consulting. We are based near Shrewsbury in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, and serve clients around the UK. We create solutions that are business oriented, with an approach based on research and strategy.

Our company was started in 2003, when we (Carl & Clare) were based in London. Since then we have developed and adapted our business considerably including a move to Shropshire in 2004. During this time we have established Carl Jones Design as one of the Midlands’ most unique graphic design and branding consultancies, with a reputation for clear, well thought-out, branding and graphic design solutions for all types of businesses and organisations around the UK.

Carl Jones Design was born out of our desire to create simple, effective solutions that work.

We bring together Carl’s experience as Design Director at some of London’s top design agencies, and Clare’s experience as a fashion and accessory designer for some of the high street’s biggest names.

Our mix of skills enables us to approach our clients’ requirements from a variety of different angles, and to provide an approach which is individual to their needs. We don’t offer an off the shelf solution, we offer a unique, bespoke approach in everything we do.

So what’s our secret? The first thing we do with any new client is to get to know them. Their business, their customers, their marketplace, their challenges, their requirements and their people. In effect, we become a part of their team! Only when we’ve done this are we able to put together a brief. Once the brief has been agreed, we are then able to start the exciting part – the creative process, coming up with ideas and design concepts. We take a considered, measured approach to our work – our creativity isn’t based on what’s in fashion or the latest trend – it’s about communication, setting our clients apart. 

We are always happy to meet and discuss your requirements and to put together a written proposal, with no obligation.
