Arnica Gardens logo

Logo for new gardening business

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design

A new gardening business, ‘Arnica Gardens‘ has just started up in B.C. Canada and I was asked to design the logo for it. It’s inspired by the Arnica flower and the client wanted to keep it looking joyful and bright by using the pops of colour in this flower within the logo. I travelled some areas of Canada, B.C. in particular, a few years ago and the colours that arrive at certain times of the year are really bright and gorgeous. This was a really enjoyable project. Read more below.

I use flowers and nature to inspire a lot of my work and also really enjoy drawing and painting these natural forms. Flowers, plants and other elements in nature can be seen in lots of my prints and graphics, mostly used in fashion and product. I have a section in my portfolio purely for flowers and plants, take a look by clicking here.

Perks logo for NOWCA

graphic design

I recently designed a perks logo for NOWCA – the UK’s largest network of safe open water swimming venues. This is being used on their website at the moment, you can see it here.

I drew lots of options for this logo. The final artwork was a lot simpler than what I envisioned, but it looks great and I am pleased with the result. Here are all my drawings prior to finalising the artwork.

I love creating artwork for swimming related brands and companies, as it’s my favourite sport and I have swam competitively since the age of about 13. I also love open water swimming and surfing.

I was asked recently to design a logo for a new outdoor lifestyle brand based in Wales. The brand is called Môrabryn, a blend of “Môr” meaning sea and “Bryn” for hill. Inspired by the coastal and mountainous elements of Wales.

I started with some hand drawn sketches for this logo, see below:

Swimming badges

graphic design

I am excited to announce that my first project with NOWCA (National Open Water Coaching Association) is now live. NOWCA is the UK’s largest network of safe open water swimming venues. I was asked to design the acheivement badges for their winter swimming sub 10 club 2024/25. This is when swimmers submerge into water below 10 degrees in the winter months. See images below of the designs and where they have been used on social media and NOWCA’s website.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Logo creation for health & fitness business

graphic design

I was recently asked to create a logo for ‘Isle Achieve‘, a health & fitness business on the Isle of Wight. I spent some of the earlier years of my childhood on the Isle of Wight, so this was a great project for me as it brought back some great memories of growing up on this lovely little Island. The brief was to incorporate an element that represented achievement with the shape of the Island. I had fun coming up with lots of options for this. You can see the final design below.

I’d love to design a logo for your business or personal project. Please get in touch via my email, paigecritchley@hotmail.co.uk, or through my contact page on my website.

3 Peaks Rentals logo

graphic design

I’ve had the amazing opportunity to design a logo for a rental company in a ski resort in Canada, BC. I have gained a lot inspiration from living and working in Canada for the last few months and this particular ski resort is so beautiful. I am very lucky to be experiencing such a wonderful place. This logo is going to be on the company’s branded t-shirts and hats as well as their website and other marketing purposes. See pics below.
