We were approached by Vaughn Benniman , of North Devon Surf Hire, to work with him in updating his company image for the new season.

From the outset, we decided with Vaughn that although the existing company name was very descriptive, it didn’t offer a punchy, memorable & marketable identity for them. As North Devon Surf Hire is one of the longest established surf hire businesses in Devon, starting out in Saunton Sands in the late sixties, we knew that we wanted to play on this strength with the new branding. As well as this, it would be great to link into the ‘local’ and ‘established’ roots of the company. Ultimately, Vaughn wanted to create a ‘brand’ around the business, that then had the potential for future growth as surfwear, merchandise, etc.

goto11 were then tasked to put all these required elements together. Here’s what we came up with!

goto11 have been involved with the British Schools Comp for years now, since back in the …Lost Enterprises days when Mat worked as the UK marketing guy & sponsored it. We still work with them designing the posters & here’s the version for 2008.

A selection of the more interesting section page intros from the 2008 Fall catalog we designed for …Lost Europe. As a little bit of trivia, all the little toys you see in the artwork were borrowed from my little boy Sam.

This was a quick freebie poster for the 10th Anniversary Ganzo Memorial Surf Party, held at The Red Barn, Woolacombe.
