We started the process by brainstorming some ideas:
We then picked a number of these ideas and started to develop them into viable options. It was decided between ourselves and Oxford PV that we should go with the more technical and natural looking options.
We then picked a range of fonts and colours that would work with the chosen concepts:
Four distinctive options were then presented to the client. They liked the two designs on the right hand side but wanted us to use a more specific blue and green in the logo.

We then created the brand guidelines which included the use of the logo on stationery, presentations, Word document templates, email signatures and branded patterns.
We are currently in the process of designing a new website for Oxford PV, but in the meantime we have created a holding page for the site which has been generating a lot of enquiries from potential investors and those interested in the product.
We have since presented two distinctive options for the website design to the client:
And the client has chosen the second design, which we are currently in the process of creating! Look out for the finished Oxford PV website coming in the next few weeks
