20 Years – 20 Logos

Robertson Creative is celebrating twenty years of business in 2022. To capture my journey, and mark this important milestone, I’ve collected together twenty logo designs. 

Looking back, I’m very satisfied with the work I’ve delivered, the visual brands I’ve built, and the people I’ve been able to work with in that time. I am so thankful to every single person who has contributed to my business. I have been fortunate to work with true visionaries – inspiring entrepreneurs and skilled business managers, passionate suppliers and enthusiastic students. It has been a rewarding journey. 

Back in 2002, I was super grateful for my Power Macintosh, Deskjet printer and trusty fax machine, keen to become self-employed but with no guarantees. Little did I know I would reach a twenty-year anniversary. In that time, my business has evolved and refined but not expanded and that was always the plan; to build a sustainable business that would allow me to be flexible enough to move with the industry and to ride any wave, and there certainly were waves. 2004 tested my health with the arrival of a preemie baby, the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, and the difficulties we have faced over the past 18 months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I’ve completed endless hours of work that I am incredibly proud of; had a lot of pleasure working with diverse and stimulating people, and navigated my way through a great deal of change in design practice. Looking towards the future I feel that the drive I had to rid my environment of ugliness is still present. Therefore I am excited to continue designing and to complete more creatively challenging projects.
