After the success of the #MadeInStockport badge to help makers and creatives in the borough showcase their local heritage, Aqua Design Group has now launched similar idents for twenty towns, cities and regions across the UK and Ireland.
Aqua Design Group launched the #MadeInStockport badge in 2017 to help support and promote creatives in Stockport with a badge that could be used on websites, social media and products and featuring the town’s iconic Victorian viaduct.
Through social media, the scheme quickly garnered the attention of artisans and makers across the country, sparking the firm’s Creative Direct, Dylan Moore to design similar graphics, first for Manchester and Wigan, and then for other regions throughout the country. To ensure the designs are clean and visible, they are only produced in black to give a ‘rubber stamp’ feel when used for producing stickers and labels, all featuring symbols or landmarks closely associated with the local area.
Cara-Lou Designs, who first approached Aqua Design Group about a Made In Manchester badge, commented:
“Getting my hands on the Made in Manchester badge from Aqua Design Group allows me to showcase myself as a local independent business woman.”
At present Aqua Design Group have now created badges for 20 towns, cities and regions across the UK and Ireland to help shoppers easily spot locally produced products from independent businesses.
