About The Brand

Mark Norris and told me a beautiful story about an immigrant who migrated to Dorset in the 1950's and opened up a fishmongers. He was talking about his father. While Mark's father is not longer with us, Mark was keen to continue in his footsteps. So, in 2015, alongside his friend and business partner, Jose Alba, they formed Norris & Alba.
Business has been booming so much for the duo, they have decided to take a leap into a slightly different market, extending their successful fishmongers into a seafood restaurant.

Project Goal

We were tasked to recreate this business identity from scratch. A new logo, customised typography and brand guidelines for Norris & Alba to implement moving forward, were required. Norris & Alba wanted us to capture an essence of the old school, traditional fish monger that Norris's father loved, whilst also applying a modern twist to their identity for connecting with the younger demographic.

Project Deliverables

After we created an identity system, we were then tasked to create some extra assets that would play a massive role in driving the identity home. These assets included a menu design, coasters and a mural which would then be hand drawn with chalk at a later date by artist Andrew Miller.

Final Thoughts

“Working with Scott on our new brand has been an absolute pleasure. He went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. We couldn’t be happier with the way it’s turned out and we’ve had so many complements from the locals on how it looks. My father would be proud!”
