Space Ninjas crash website launch
What better way to launch a new website than to make a game of it?
We reckon a game of custom-designed Space Invaders is the perfect way to launch the new Orion website, and we want you to play! Dust off your old arcade-era know-how, flex your space bar and pit your skills against the tenacious invading aliens. And if you can do it better than anyone else, you’ll win $500!*. Competition closes November 1.
Harmony collection rocks Ontera
Working alongside Kevin Harkin, Jeremy Mead and the Ontera team on the campaign for Harmony Collection has been great fun. The Harmony Collection is a range of carpet designs inspired by nature. We fully realised this connection to nature right across the campaign; from website to signage, logo design, brochures, photography, package design, email marketing, stationery, printing, and video production. We developed for the client a number of techniques to streamline the efficiency of the campaign and minimise costs for the client; a dedicated in-house photography studio (with magic powers) was one such technique.
This won’t hurt, we promise!
An eye-catching illustration often lingers in the mind of a customer along with its message.
Several of our graphic designers are also skilled illustrators who delight in the chance to get out their coloured pencils to help clients get a message across.
Think Orion for your video needs
Did you know we now have our own green screen set up? It’s an exciting new acquisition for us that means we can swap in film backgrounds and create fancy scenes easily.
We’re Sprinting Uphill with TechnoGym
How does running on a treadmill at a 15 degree incline for ten minutes sound? Yeah, we thought so.
What is graphic design…and where is it headed?
In non-geek speak, graphic design is used to assist businesses in developing communications tools to represent them. Telling the crowds we are engineers or artists is a little misleading, we are in the business of communicating business. User-interface is becoming more commonly user-friendly and communications are being unified to send consistent messages to the consumer. Graphic designers make messages easier to digest and unify business messages.
Need a new logo? Orion can do that.
We understand that a new logo can seem daunting, as the logo for your business typically appears across your website, uniforms, marketing communications and on all your sales collateral. So, at Orion, we work with you to make the process simple, from design through to implementation. Here’s how we did just that for Electra-Loom.
Baa baa baa, baa baa the Rams
With 4 sporting divisions (Netball, Cricket, Little Athletics and Soccer), over 1500 registered players, and each sporting division boasting their own committee, the Rouse Hill Rams has evolved from an idea at a local pub, into a unique sporting model not seen anywhere in Australia.
Orion has sponsored the Sports Club since inception in 2006, and along with a handful of genuine sports mad Dads and Mums, have helped shape its dynamic setup into a recognisable sporting service provider within the Hills community.
Getting a little burlesque
At Orion, we’re totally down for doing work when it comes to helping others, and when it’s for a great cause. Our most recent work was for the Philippine Australian Medical Association (PAMA), an association of doctors, surgeons and health specialists that undertake Medical Missions to the Philippines annually. It is here where Australian and Filipino doctors educate the local community and serve patients by undertaking major surgeries including cleft lip and palate repairs, burn reconstructions, down to the very basics of health education to the local community and providing a free toothbrush.
We are creating new and exciting problems
I know that it sounds a little bit like a weird title, but it is true.
As we are getting better and progressing with the ever evolving web design and development universe, we are creating a richer user experience and more interesting elements within our designs and development processes. Problem is, we are also creating more problems.
