FirstMark Design bring over 30 years experience in the yachting arena to create unique branding for sailing teams and super yachts.We have designed yachts that are well recognised across America’s Cup and a whole raft of yacht racing circuits such as the TP 52, RC44 series.
Outside of the yacht racing arena, we have developed the skills to create original logotypes, often hand-crafted, specifically for the discerning owner with a desire for something more custom.
Simon began drawing graphics of boats when he was 9 years old, capturing the proportions of Sir Peter Blake’s Ceramco New Zealand sailing in the Whitbread Around the World Yacht Race — Now the Volvo Ocean Race.
Simon’s experience as helmsman in the match racing circuit, lead him into designing Artemis, a TP 52 yacht brand.
“Now we have a huge canvase to push the boundaries” across the hull, deck and sail inventory.“It comes down to how bold or subtle the owner wishes to take it.”
Bringing an artistic perspective, Brodie Reynolds studied art in Florence before entering into a ten-year career working on Super Yachts where she built unique skills in assisting the boat yards in Italy, creating functional spaces below deck. Her evocative skills with the brush are a valuable aid in exploring new graphical perspectives.
Our services include logo identity development, hull and sail brand concepts, 3D modelling, and design for clothing, container, Passerelle and more.
We are based in Raglan, New Zealand — a seaside town that inspires our creativity away from the big smoke.
The FirstMark brand resides under DickeyBird.com Limited.
