Who we are
About Design Minds
Over 35 years of building brands that hold up.
For over 35 years, Design Minds has helped Irish and International businesses look like themselves: clearly, confidently, and consistently. We specialise in logo design and brand communications, and we have been at it long enough to know that a mark is only as good as everything built around it.
We are a team of designers and developers, working with everyone from start‑ups to Global Brands. The scale of the project changes; the care does not.
What we do
A mark is only as good as everything built around it.
- 01
Logo design
The mark itself. Researched, drawn and tested until it works at every size, in every medium, for decades rather than seasons.
- 02
Brand identity
Everything the mark needs around it. Palette, type, tone, and the guidelines that keep it consistent long after we hand it over.
- 03
Print & brochure
Brochures, reports, catalogues and point of sale, prepared as print‑ready artwork by people who know what a printer will send back.
- 04
Web design
Sites built brand‑first rather than template‑first, so what you spent on the identity is still visible on the screen.
- 05
Brand communications
Advertising, campaigns, signage and exhibition. The places your brand meets people when you are not in the room.
- 06
Packaging design
Cartons, labels and retail packs that sell from the shelf. Designed in 3D, proofed against real dielines and artworked to the converter’s spec.
How we work
Every project runs on the Double Diamond: diverge, then decide, twice.
- 01Discover
We ask the awkward questions early. Who you are actually for, what you are competing against, and what is genuinely different.
- 02Define
We narrow it to a single clear proposition. Most projects go wrong here, by trying to say everything at once.
- 03Develop
Routes are designed, tested and argued over internally before you ever see them. You get considered options, not a mood board.
- 04Deliver
Final artwork, guidelines and master files. Prepared so the next designer, printer or developer can pick it up cleanly.
The studio
The View, Malahide Marina Village
We are a team of designers and developers, working with everyone from start‑ups to global brands. The scale of the project changes; the care does not.
The team that shapes your identity builds the website it lives on, so nothing is lost between designer and developer. We work on the water in Malahide, ten minutes from the airport and half an hour from the city. Clients are welcome in: most of the best work starts around the table rather than over email.
