DSD won an open competition to provide a large, local firm with creative and design input for a corporate rebranding exercise. Dan took the company's aspirations and turned them into a unique and enduring design scheme - all work completed on time and according to a competitive budget.
We would definitely recommend DSD to any company serious about the visual aspects of their business's physical and online presence.

I first used Dan (DSD) back in 2019 when I set up my business. He developed my logo, branding, website design and was patient when making tweaks and changes to the initial options. Since then Dan has helped create company stationery and adverts/flyers and they have always looked extremely professional and been of good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DSD to anyone either setting up their business or looking to rebrand.

We have been using Dan Summers Design for the last couple of years now, we use them for business cards, letter heads, and our seasonal magazine that we have both in print and digital. Dan is always responsive and works hard to understand our needs. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their brand or looking for a great quality design / print service.
Thanks for all you hard work Dan,

We have been working closely with Dan for 5 years now. From inception to final design, I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. Honest and hard working, he always delivers on time and with great results. We started our journey initially with updating the Branding and have since moved onto 2x Product Guides, Full Website Refresh, Full Marketing Literature and numerous Adverts. Its safe to say Dan knows what we want before we do.

Having researched and spoken with several designers before choosing DSD, I was looking for the reassurance that the designer not only understood my ideas and was on the same wave length, but was also enthusiastic, professional and thorough.
The designs that Dan produced were fantastic, they completely encapsulated the exact style and design that I was looking for in my brand.
Dan is professional, talented and with a wonderful ability to interpret the design brief and produce high quality work.
I would highly recommend DSD!

Dan designed a logo, other branding material for me, as well as a set of pages for a new website.
Dan is talented, creative, fast and importantly very easy to work with. Being flexible and easy to work with is critical but Dan is also able to be definite and clear about a design if he is sure it is the right thing to do.
I was really pleased with the end result and will definitely contract Dan again when I have more work for him. I won't be looking for anyone else.
Great work!

Dan Summers Design is a great company. Dan is so easy to work with, he listens to what you have in mind, gives you loads of options and helps you until you're happy. Dan designed my logo and after all these years I still love it! Now he is helping me design a logo for being in business for 10 years. Could not recommend him more. Thanks Dan!

Having had a really bad experience with a previous Designer, Dan reassured me when I met him that he would restore my faith in Designers. Well he certainly did that. He is a real Expert at what he does and his service is professional and reliable. Dan really knows how to translate a brief you give him into a design that is top class. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. It is a truly enjoyable experience working with Dan.

DSD produce amazing adverts for our company and never ceases to disappoint. We have been working closely with Dan for about 4 years, he helped us re-brand as well as making sure we have a continuity with all our advertising, very approachable and understands what customers want to see and what the companies want to put out there! 5 stars all the way, always does a brilliant job!
