Sydney Web and Tech Rebranding

Sydney Web and Tech Rebranding

Sydney Web and Tech rebrand and naming
I was asked by Sydney Web and Tech to help them come up with a new look and feel for their business. We wanted to create something that would make them appealing yet approachable in the market. Originally Sydney Web Creations, we changed their name to ‘Sydney Web and Tech’ to centralise more around what they specialise in; web development, web hosting and security.

Emphasising on this approach I decided to play on the HTML coding aspect of web development and highlight that within their brand.

Below is the before and after.

Continuing on with the rollout of their branding collateral, we created their business cards with the same idea concept, seen below.

Western Union Money Transfer Scams

Were you a victim of Western Union Scams?

Western Union scams

There has been so many different scams involving Western Union as the conduit for payment.

Here’s one example from several years ago, involving a family member and the sale of their truck.

The truck was advertised in the Trading post and one day later it was sold.
But…
The buyer was on an oil rig.
Although payment for the truck itself was ok, he was having difficulty in transferring money for the truck to be shipped from N.S.W. to W.A., without which the sale could not go through.
Would it be possible for the shipping cost to be added on to the total truck sale price, and to send the shipping cost directly to the shipper via Paypal?
Of course it will be handled by Western Union, so it’s all above board.

Alarm bells were rung and the sale did not go through.

Below is the email from Paypal, involving the payment through Western Union.
