Written by the company
We design big brands from a little boat. We are a Brand Design Studio founded in 2020 by our lead designer Zoë. Cruising around the UK, we work on the move from our 54 foot narrowboat studio. We like to work across a variety of sectors and enjoy working with people from all different areas. Our environment is constantly changing, as are our clients, so we adapt to change with them. We think this bolsters our creativity and ability to problem solve.

Fantastic experience and final product
Working with this Zoë and Alex was an outstanding professional experience. From the start, they listened carefully to my brief, picking up on minor remarks to build unique, deeply personal design concepts. The entire process was efficient and stress-free. Their communication was quick, revisions were simple, and the final assets were delivered ahead of schedule and under the quoted timeframe. Their post-project support has been excellent.
I chose this agency to get away from the cliches in my industry and I wasn't let down.
I am incredibly proud of the final brand they created and highly recommend their services.
A Fresh Brand
I was looking to refresh my branding for my photography business.
Zoe and Alex took the time to discover exactly where I wanted to take the brand.
I'm delighted with the final outcome of the rebrand and have ended up with a completely new logo and coherent set of brand guidelines that I know we serve me for a long time to come.
I look forward to working with Studio Ümlaut on all of my future Graphic Design requirements.
Thanks guys!
Incredibly creative duo!
First of all two very nice people that are clearly passionate about what they do, but also show a real interest in what you do and go to great lengths to gain an understanding of what you are looking to achieve before entering into any project.
Although my brief was vague and not overly detailed they managed to interpret my vision into something far beyond what I could never have expected.
A joy to work with from the start to finish, our project produced incredible results with great communication throughout the process.
I cannot recommend highly enough.
Nod Sero suicide awareness & prevention campaign
Alex and Zoe were a true pleasure to work with. We needed a logo, branding, and a website to be simple and playful, impactful and eye-catching, informative and easily accessible, without taking away from the seriousness and delicate nature of the subject matter. Our brief wasn't exactly an easy one, being a suicide awareness and prevention campaign, but Studio Umlaut absolutely nailed it, and then some. Communication throughout the process was clear and responsive, and the project was managed perfectly from start to finish. We had complete trust in them. The final product far exceeded our expectations and initial ideas. I can't recommend Studio Umlaut highly enough.

WOW - I couldn't have picked a better graphic designer!
I am completely over the moon with all the work Studio Umlaut has done for my bushcraft and rewilding business, Retreat Wild.
As a very small business I was apprehensive of hiring a graphic designer due to finances but I knew I wanted to make my branding stand out as I understand how powerful marketing is these days. After a call with Zoe and Alex, going over my ideas, I knew they were the ones to give my branding the glow up it deserves.
Every step of the way has been easy and fun. Zoe nailed everything I asked for and more. Strangely put, it's as if she understood my requirements and brain more than me.
Zoe worked on a rebrand and marketing collateral and already I am thinking, 'what else can she work on' as I am so pleased with everything.
I highly recommend Studio Umlaut, thank you, I truly appreciate everything you have done!

I have a wonderful new brand that I am in love with!
I have a wonderful new brand that I am in love with! All thanks to Umlaut. It’s made me excited about my business again and I can’t wait to implement it all on my new website. Zoe & Alex listened to my (far from cohesive!) ideas and somehow made sense of them along the way. It was easy and fun and I would not hesitate to recommend Umlaut. I’ll certainly be using them again in the future. Thank you so much team Umlaut!

They took our specifications and made it look amazing!
We have our own run club and wanted to do our own casual tee shirts for the members. The investment of using Umlaut was so worth it! They designed something that an untrained eye just couldn’t come up with. We let them know what we wanted from the design and they did their own adaptation of it which we loved! We will be using Umlaut again!

Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant. Zoe has given us an amazing new brand which we are really proud of. She listened carefully to what we needed and worked with us really closely to troubleshoot and find the exact match to what we wanted. Zoe has also built us a brilliant new website as well which works perfectly for what we wanted, she is always available to ask questions and to support us with whatever we need. Your only place to go in Chester if you want to support a cracking independent business like we did. Thanks

Good service from Umlaut Media
We asked Umlaut to help us design a product brand and a bottle label (fruit juice) and the result was great. Zoe was fantastic to work with - creative, responsive, professional. The entire experience was smooth and the designs were delivered according to edits agreed, and on time. I would recommend the agency to others, and will definitely use Zoe's services again.

Zoë was so professional
Zoë was so professional and understanding our needs as a new company. She asked lots of questions to get to the bottom of how we wanted our branding to look. We were overwhelmed with the final result. It's perfect. Zoë has captured the essence of our brand really well.
