The best logo designers Newton Abbot?

For today’s blog, we’re keeping it local—right here in Newton Abbot, the home of BOYD Creative. Over the years, I’ve often been asked where to get the best logo designs in town. Like many smaller UK towns, Newton Abbot offers three main routes for logo design, each with its own pros and cons. Let’s break them down.

1) Sign Makers & Large-Scale Printers

The go-to option for many small businesses looking for a quick and easy logo design is their local print shop. These businesses specialise in signage and large-format printing but often offer graphic design services as an add-on.

Pros:

✅ Convenient if you’re already ordering signage (e.g., vehicle wraps, shop fronts)
✅ Quick turnaround

Cons:

❌ Limited creativity—designs are often generic and templated
❌ Focus is on print, not brand strategy
❌ You risk blending in rather than standing out

For businesses focused on long-term growth, a unique and strategic brand identity is key. Otherwise, you could end up looking just like the next burger van down the road.

Examples of print-based design services in Newton Abbot:
• Bayside Signs & Displays
• Lazerpics
• Wotton Printers

2) Web Design Services

Another common route is through web design agencies that offer logo design as part of a package. If your business relies heavily on your website—such as an e-commerce store or service-based business—this might seem like a logical choice.

Pros:

✅ Convenient if you're already investing in a website
✅ Can be cost-effective for small businesses or side hustles

Cons:

❌ Often treated as an afterthought, lacking depth and originality
❌ Focus is on the website, not a well-rounded brand identity
❌ No long-term strategy—just a logo to "tick the box"

If you're looking to build a serious brand that grows with your business, you need more than just a logo as part of a package deal.

Local web design services in Newton Abbot and surrounding areas:
• Invi Design
• r50 Marketing
• Falcon Digital

3) Local Graphic Design Agencies

Now let's look at some more "out and out" graphic design agencies in the area. This is a little closer what BOYD Creative can offer you, but we will explain the vital differences. These are graphic design agencies that can provide branding alongside a wide range of design services, including print materials, advertising, and editorial work.

Pros:

✅ Design services for various marketing needs
✅ Ideal for businesses looking for quick print and digital assets

Cons:

❌ Often project-based rather than a full branding solution
❌ Focus is on individual designs rather than a cohesive brand identity
❌ No long-term brand guidelines to ensure consistency

If all you need is a flyer, banner, or advert, these agencies are a great choice. But if you're after a strategic, long-term brand identity that keeps your business visually and strategically aligned across all platforms, you will need something more.

Graphic design agencies in the area:
• Seen in Design
• Q-Ball Media
• Priority Pixels

So, where does BOYD Creative fit in?

We sit in the sweet spot for startups and growing businesses that want to go beyond the basics and create a brand identity that sets them apart.

If you don’t want to blend into the background—if you want to compete with the big players in your industry with a strong brand identity, professional website, and a strategic marketing approach—then we’re the studio for you.
