A trusted IT
partnership,
built to last

entrustIT are an independently owned IT management partner with unrivalled expertise, values and ambition. This makes a trusted long term IT partner, not just another MSP looking for a quick buck.

They came to us looking for a full brand refresh and a new website that brings clarity, confidence and authenticity to their digital presence.

The Challenge

The business had evolved into a modern, strategic IT partner, but their identity didn’t reflect the scale of their work or their position in the market. The result was a disconnect between how good they actually were and how they showed up online.

They needed a clearer, more human brand. One that could explain complex technical services without sounding like an instruction manual, build trust quickly, and support the next phase of growth without constant caveats or explanations.

In short: less jargon, more confidence, and a digital presence that felt like it belonged to the business they are now.

The Solution

We created a refined visual identity that feels confident, calm and approachable, avoiding anything cold or overly corporate. This included a distinctive logo system, a purposeful colour palette and a cohesive design language that works consistently across all touchpoints.

We then translated the brand into a clean, structured website built around clarity and usability, making complex IT services easier to understand while positioning entrust IT as a dependable, strategic partner.

The Solution

The Result

Poole Musuem

Luke DaMann — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:10:53 +0000

Shaped by
the sea

How do we capture a town and a people shaped by the sea? A place of shipwrecks and stories, myths and makers. Poole Museum wanted a brand that could bring all of that to life, reflecting its ever-changing character, vibrant community and the sea’s enduring pull.

The Challenge

Bringing Poole Museum to life in a modern and impactful way, creating a brand experience that felt unique and unmistakably “Poole.”

The identity needed to reflect a town and community shaped by the sea: dynamic, layered, and full of character. But Poole isn’t just about heritage, it’s a place where creativity meets industry, where the expected gives way to the unexpected.

Our challenge was to capture that fusion of influences. The maritime, the cultural, and the contemporary, translating it into a visual and verbal language that could anchor the museum’s next chapter.

The Solution

We built a brand that reflects the town’s rich mix of people, industry and influence. It’s full of character and a touch of the unexpected.

Our colours take their cues from Poole, industry, and the coastline, with names drawn from the water and the working harbour town. Weathered circle motifs echo the marks left by time and tide. The typography system utilises an array of weights and varied type widths in stacked layouts mirroring the craftsmanship and blend of cultures that define the place.

Together, all these elements create a brand that feels fresh, layered and full of life, designed to spark that instant Ooooo moment of curiosity and connection that Poole inspires.

The Result

The brand has been praised by key stakeholders throughout Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch council, and we’re proud to have played a role in the launch of such a fantastic venue. It’s early days, but after a huge investment the museum has opened to a wave of public interest and media attention, with over 5000 visitors in it’s first week.

The Result

“We love our colours, our new personality, it is US! Zap worked seamlessly as part of our large internal team, they were responsive, skillful, creative, and could translate what was in our brains onto the page! A critical part of our Museum Maker team.”

Visualising marketing
for industry

As a marketing communications agency specialising in support for industrial manufacturing companies, Coda needed an identity that would creatively resonate with its clients’ subject matter while celebrating the beauty of precision.

The Challenge

Coda needed an identity that positioned it as the creative specialist in an industry driven by precision and excellence. Their existing branding had become somewhat disjointed and lacked a cohesive voice. The challenge was to craft a new identity that balanced accuracy with their passion for the sector, while enabling the creation of consistently voiced assets.

The Solution

We created a brand language based on a unique combination of line weights, called the Coda Code, which could be duplicated, stacked, and manipulated to generate endless patterns and backgrounds. These ‘remixes’ could exist independently or within imagery, interacting with both subjects and scenes.

This approach gave Coda a distinctive visual language – perfect for a sector focussed on repetition and accuracy.

The Result

ESAS

Zap Team — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 16:12:12 +0000

Seeing the environment differently

ESAS (Environmental Science at Southampton University) are a University department full of sector leading expertise and specialist equipment, and were looking to make a commercial offering to the industry. Their unique setup gave them a fantastic springboard, but they needed a brand and website to effectively communicate their offer to industry.

The Challenge

To create a standout brand and website for an organisation who are driven by a search for knowledge, not funds. Their commercial interests are secondary to their intelectual interests. This gave ESAS a unique identity as thought leaders who can afford to ask the questions others don’t.

The Solution

The ESAS logo features a fingerprint brandmark that integrates both natural and tech elements. Elements such as a leaf and tree rings weave together alongside the technological features such as sonar. There’s also a nod to ESAS’ pioneering nature with the leaf veins positioned to signify forward movement. The full name is featured in the primary logo to ensure people know and understand who ESAS are.

Services Provided

• Branding
• Website design
• 3D Rendering & Visualisations

The Result

The ESAS brand and refreshed WordPress website has successfully launched to companies in the UK, and is helping to bring in funding to the department to support their academic and intelectual ambitions.

The Result

“Our journey started with brand discovery and development and continued through to website creation and delivery. Zap have been simply superb throughout. Communication is excellent, the project was delivered in a timely fashion, but most importantly the brand and website are impactful and capture the essence of our commercial offering. If you are reading this, don’t hesitate – work with them!”

Vizst

Zap Team — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:20:42 +0000

An IT brand that puts people first

Vizst are IT experts who prioritise the client experience. They believe in continuous innovation, and the building of trusted relationships, with a human‑centric approach.

The Challenge

A lot of IT organistations are technically focussed, but Vizst wanted to buck the trend and focus more on the customer experience. Our challenge was to create a brand identity that conveys our company’s ethos of being truly client-focused, conveying the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your IT is in the hands of highly capable and approachable experts.

The Solution

We created a very different look for an IT brand, and deliberately avoided vibrant colours and technical imagery. A palette of muted Greens was employed to evoke a feeling of reassurance and security. The existing Vizst icon is integrated throughout, either alongside imagery or to add texture to white space, while rounded shapes inspired by the logo emphasize the brand’s soft human-centric nature. A new typeface was introduced to convey authority, honesty, and expertise, and imagery was focussed on the thriving people who are supported by Vizst’s expertise.

The Solution

The brand identity for Vizst adopts a premium and reassuring approach with a focus on people. Imagery showcases individuals thriving in their workplaces, reflecting Vizst’s supportive impact. A serif typeface is used to convey authority, honesty, and expertise. Greens are employed to evoke reassurance and security, with vibrant green adding energy. The existing Vizst logo is integrated throughout, either alongside imagery or to add texture to white space, while rounded shapes inspired by the logo emphasize the brand’s human-centric nature.

Services Provided

• Packaging design
• POS
• 3D Rendering & Visualisations
• Social Media Content

The Result

The identity we created for Vizst deliberately steers them away from a typical IT company positioning, by encapsulating the company’s client service focus and human-centric mindset. This circle frames imagery, overlays visuals to convey protection, and guides viewers’ attention to important information. Rounded corners on multiple images reference the circle, adding approachability and warmth.

The Result

“I’ve worked with James and the team for years and they never fail to impress. Zap truly understood the vision for the rebrand and helped us capture this and execute it perfectly.”

ABP – Ready For Tomorrow

Zap Team — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 23:24:37 +0000

Making net zero a reality for UK ports

ABP, the UK’s leading ports group, had ambitions to make their operations in an industry with an extremely heavy carbon footprint, net zero for carbon emissions by 2040. This is no small task, and required incredible levels of innovation and investment. Under the campaign theme ‘Ready For Tomorrow’, they needed an interactive website to showcase their activity and educate their audiences.

The Challenge

We needed to both tell the story of ABP’s net zero strategy and investment, as well as allowing users to interact with the content to discover.

The Solution

We produced an immersive microsite that used Javascript interactive modules and allowed users to explore the level of investment by ABP in an informative and visually engaging way. A series of videos and Lottie JS animations and videos helped to bring the messages to life on the site.

The Result

The benchmark campaign has been a huge success, with consistent publicity and ABP remains on target it hit it’s ambitious 2040 net zero objective.

Beaulieu Campaign

Zap Team — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 09:43:33 +0000

The art of
togetherness

There’s no other place on Earth that has Beaulieu’s unique collection of attractions together in one place. The National Motor Museum, Palace House, the Abbey Ruins, World of Top Gear, Little Beaulieu play area, the Monorail, the living history characters and the beautiful gardens. Beaulieu is, quite simply, the sum of its parts.

The Challenge

A brilliant day out is all about spending quality time together. At Beaulieu there’s something for everyone, with their unique and eclectic range of attractions together in one place, no one is compromising on their day out. Beaulieu wanted a hard-hitting creative campaign that resonated with family members of all ages, and visually articulated the theme of togetherness, while showcasing the range of attractions.

The Solution

We created an abstract montage using a range of bespoke photography, which showcased all the attractions in a vibrant, charming and slightly surreal way, demonstrating an individual quality that’s quintessentially Beaulieu. The montage was extremely flexible and adapted to fit a wide range of sizes and formats, for maximum impact.
