It is a source of great pride that our work continues to be validated by industry peers and more importantly, by our clients who consistently refuse to junk exciting ideas to satisfy cautious critics.

The winning work will be published in the Chinese design journal ‘New Graphic’. Edited & planned by Seecoo Culture Communication, since 2004, ‘New Graphic’ has become representative of influential design in China.

The first is a monogram for financial consultant, Mark Vella Bonanno. It is formed from his initials – MVB.

Gestalt Psychotherapist – Linda Åklundh approached us to create a new identity that would communicate the benefits of her new ‘business coaching’ venture. Our solution was to develop a composition of stick figures – working in harmony towards a shared goal. At the same time, the new symbol suggests the Swedish letter Å.

Of the 3, my personal favourite is a proposed symbol for the European Bully Kennel Club. It is created from 5 kennel symbols arranged in such a way that they also suggest a 5 pointed star. The identity needed to be versatile and legible, as it would also be used in conjunction with other graphic components – at various sizes.

The island has been taken to the European Court of Justice for allowing the spring hunting of Turtle Dove and Quail since it joined the EU in 2004 but the authorities have still failed to convince local hunters to honour international bird protection laws. From a political standpoint, this issue is a nightmare as hunting association memberships are sizeable enough to wield significant influence through their collective voting power.

Our pro bono work for Birdlife Malta was designed to stimulate social conscience about this issue, allow people to demonstrate support and help raise vital funding. While  payment for this work won’t show up in our bank account, this does not mean we did not get paid – the pride and satisfaction gained from helping such a worthy cause is the kind of reward money just can’t buy.

Our solution was to create an image immediately associated with hairdressing; that is also visual shorthand for Cheri’s nationality.

When giftware chain – Eyespy asked Bulldog to help with this problem, we suggested using an alternative approach. By combining different items into loosely related groups, housing them in this custom made package and selling them as stand alone sets, our client not only drastically reduced his excess stock but also turned a healthy profit.

If you’ve spent the day reviewing portfolios, it’s not impossible that you could be seduced by miracles of presentation and glossy style. Not so with logos – these only really work when execution and content are inseparably fused – making the execution part of the content. It’s rare but you’ll know when you see it.

We saw it when looking at Herb Lubalin’s Mother & Child logo for the first time, almost 20 years ago. It could be argued that all our creative endeavors to date, have been a reaction to the envy we felt at that time. It’s with baited breath that we grudgingly concede we may never reach the heights scaled by a giant like Mr Lubalin but by measuring ourselves against him, we’ve probably raised our level.

We hope you enjoy this selection of logos designed by Bulldog.

Bulldog immediately realised that the solution to Linda’s problem would lie in our ability to reduce a seemingly complex message down to a memorable, engaging idea. Once we decided that what Linda does is: ‘sort out puzzles in people’s heads’, this logo just sort of drew itself.

Linda says that she just can’t stop handing out her new business cards, “The change in peoples’ faces as they figure out the meaning for themselves is priceless.” We couldn’t agree more – in our opinion, the best communications leave room for audience participation.
