Socrates Move Office

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:00:00 GMT

We are very excited here at Socrates, we have finally moved into our new office!

We now have lots of space to grow and as you would expect we designed and networked the office ourselves.

We like our colours at Socrates, so to keep the theme of our website running throughout the office there are lots of smart colours mixed with our cool grey. We love this look and have completed the grey with modern white frames and our lovely signature kids images that reflect each one of us in the team.

All our lovely vinyl wall art has has been supplied and fitted by the fabulous Fast Signs team who have been really helpful in making our visualisations happen quickly and easily.

To make sure the office matches our quirky ways we have sourced all our furniture from various companies taking care to match quality with value. Its the little finishing touches that really make the space come to life.

An office opening wouldn't be the same without a yummy cake that was kindly made by one of our team. Everyone tucked in and we quickly became very settled in our new working home.

We are all looking forward to a colourful and geeky time ahead!

one Rebranding

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:00:00 GMT

In the words of one...

Why we decided to change

1. The company has evolved - for example: after the Ancile MBO, we are now a completely independent claims and assistance company
2. Our company has grown
3. We felt the brand didn't reflect us any more - the old logo incorporated the brand colours of ONE Underwriting Ltd/Ancile
4. The old logo was looking tired
5. As we strive to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace, we felt we could articulate ourselves better
6. We want to stand out from our competitors
7. We identified the need to be even more customer focussed - to Dazzle!
8. It just feels like the right thing to do!

How we went about change

1. We talked to two companies for their advice on what we should do and how we should do it
2. We chose to work with Socrates Systems
3. We spent a lot of time talking with their design team, explaining our core values and what they mean to us and how we are developing as a company and how we want to be perceived in our marketplace
4. Socrates Systems produced a number of different design concepts for us to consider
5. We chose the logo and design concept which we felt best articulated our Vision

Clarifying our position

Our logo now clarifies our position with a strapline that tells people what we are all about:

The logo represents all the people within the company coming together and dazzling as one - the dots on the "star" represent all the individuals within the company.

Our new strapline is ...here to help

We ARE here to help and we WILL Dazzle along the way.
