The South West is one of the leading areas in the UK for solar electric installation. Thanks to the new Feed-in Tariff for domestic customers, a typical household could benefit from a saving of over £1,000 per year, paying back the initial investment in only eight years.

With bulk purchasing power PITS are able to provide reduced installion costs that will provide 43.3p for every unit of energy the panels generate earning up to £17k a year on a 4kWp system.
The Solar Club logo needed to convey the simplicity of the concept using PITS longstanding tag \’Invest in a brighter future\’. th diamonds incorporated within the logo are representative of the design on the particular panels offered within the Solar Club.

Penzance based, all girls surf school \’Siren Surf\’, are due to launch in May, with a great new concept behind their not-for-profit business.
Jessica Ferin wanted to create a surf school with a difference, to be able to provide surf lessons to females that are suffering from mental health issues in order to build their confidence in a fun filled and positive way.
The business is entirely female-led with a community interest encouraging girls and women who wouldn\’t normally get the chance, to try surfing.
The logo has been a 3 month project involving an external illustrator to create an inspiring female of the sea in the form of a mermaid, to encourage other ladies to feel less scared or intimidated by the sea. The curves of the mermaid and the \’S\’ are another representation of the female form.
Other marketing material and rash vests are currently being designed so watch this space for more details!
