CHROME PLATTED AND BURR WALNUT - CREATED USING ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR AND PHOTOSHOP |
When I was a toddler our next door neighbours and my god father Uncle Stan Collard used to take us kids to Sunday school and other outings in his loving restored Lagonda Mk.1 Saloon.

The first that I remember had metallic silver coach work with a cream leather, chrome and burr walnut interior. As a boy of about four or five I felt like a king being driven about In the big beautiful silver Lagonda.

Basically I've kept the original brand but have given it wings. It’s a purely self indulgent mission but I am really pleased with the outcome. Just a bit of fun, a mash up of the Aston, Lagonda and Bentley wings with a bit of Deshok styling reminds me of a very happy childhood and my dear old Uncle Stan, his friend Mr Forshaw and the great old war-horse that was the Lagonda Mk.1 Saloon.

So now it’s not only fizzy energy drinks that can have wings, digital design agencies can have them too.

100% you. Your work is so beautifully polished and finished Neil. This is a symbol of solid quality and refinement that suits your brand and your standards like a glove. I love it because it speaks on so many levels. The story behind the wings is pure golden nostalgia and honestly conveyed, you communicate expertly and with integrity. You have wings for sure.
