SOMERTON CASTLE STUDIO
BRAND DESIGN, BRAND DIRECTION
Somerton Castle Studio is a state-of-the-art recording space set within the historic walls of Somerton Castle in Lincolnshire. Combining state-of-the-art recording facilities with on-site accommodation, it offers musicians and producers an inspiring setting to create.
I built a brand that reflects both the studio’s ethos and its extraordinary surroundings — blending influences from classic music equipment with the timeless character of the castle itself.

SHAPING THE BRAND
We crafted a versatile identity designed to work across digital and physical spaces, from online platforms to print materials. The visual style nods to the studio’s fusion of technical precision and unique setting, capturing the balance between the music being made and the historic space it’s made in.
"Good Ship really captured the essence of Somerton Castle Studio. They created a brand that perfectly blends our facilities with the castle's historic charm. The approach was collaborative and focused, and the result has made a real impact on how we present ourselves. We’re thrilled with the outcome."

SOMERTON SESSIONS
Somerton Sessions is a new live film series launching on YouTube in November 2025. Alongside developing the visual identity for the series, I’ve provided art direction and helped shape the overall concept, style, and tone of the video shoots, edits and films.
