DESIGN A NEW LOGO CHALLENGE

JARRE UK Logo

JARRE UK has gone through at least 4 redesigns in its 14 year history, but the one thing that has never had a refresh is our logo.

Originally designed by Robin Hosgood, the current logo has served us well, but with a change of focus for the website, I am looking for a new logo that reflects the JARRE UK brand, that is vibrant and fresh but still maintains its UK identity, hence the original flag in the UK part of the current logo.

Therefore I am throwing it open to you, and would welcome any designs or ideas that you might have to help us achieve this goal.

We are available either by using the Contact Form in the side panel, or through our Facebook page, the link to which is tabbed above.

Kind regards,

Dunkie

TESTING A NEW HOME

As some of you are already aware, the JARRE UK website was hacked just before Christmas 2013, resulting in a large amount of phishing code being embedded into the website in numerous places that was difficult to locate and remove.

After several threats from security firms acting on behalf of global banks, I had no choice but to close the website down and look for a viable method of getting the website up-and-running again.

I had toyed with the idea of just running JARRE UK through Facebook, but some fans expressed the need for a web presence, to have something other than a Facebook page, sighting that not everyone uses or likes Facebook.

As a result of this, I am trialling Blogger as a new home, although I am not sure that this will do exactly what I want, but it's a start whilst I find a way of rebuilding the website and finding a cost effective and easy way to deliver and run it.

Ideas and suggestions are always welcomed, but please be patient, as the time I have to spend on this project is very limited due to other commitments.

I will endeavour to do my best.

Kind regards,

Dunkie
