New Anvil Logo

New logos and corporate identity

Anvil is going though a re-branding exercise and one of the items that we wanted to change was our logo. The logo is an important component of any company as it's what people will see when they first make contact. For this reason we wanted something that was smart, clear and distinctive while being easily recognisable and not just blend into the background. We also wanted something that would work well with certain other colours that we are introducing to give each of our business units an individual identity.

Re-Styled web site coming soon!

Some of the key requirements for the logo.

• For it to be clean and simple
• Contemporary but still be relevant 5 years from now
• Unique
• Versatile
• Easily recognisable
• To compliment other colours we use on web pages and marketing materials

After much deliberation we decided to go with the following for the company identity

We will use the following variations for the different business units

Data products and services

Security products and services

Voice products and services

Mobile products and services

Anvil Mobile has Moved Office

Anvil Mobile has moved office and is now located at Wenden Court, Station Road, Wendens Ambo, Saffron Waldne Essex, CB11 4LB Our new office is a stones throw away from Audley End train station, which gives us access to London Liverpool street in under an hour.

Moving office can be a stressful task. Getting your office functioning as quickly as possible is critical. When it come to having an office that runs efficiently internet connection is paramount. But for Anvil Mobile this wasn't an issue. Not because we had a fixed line already installed, but because we can use an Instant Office solution and be fully functional in less than 5 minutes.

The Anvil Instant Office is a 3G router with a Anvil Data USIM card installed, wireless LAN and 3 Ethernet ports to attach VoIP phones or PC's. Anvil Mobile supply Polycom VoIP desk phones and pre-configure these with a landline number with the area code that you choose. An external switch can also be added to provide more ports to connect more devices where required. WLAN devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones can connect wirelessly to the router for the internet access. If you need a higher capacity, bonded solutions can be provided where up to 6 USIMs can be combined into a single channel giving you a single higher capacity connection.

If you're self employed show off that your local.

If you're a self employed  and offer a service to a local community then the most important thing is your local network and you should be promoting that fact that you are a part of the community. The good news it that you can do this with out even making contact with your market. You could have the name of your local area in your company name, but if you don't want to do that or have already got a good name you should ensure you have a local contact number. As this is something that everyone will see especially if they want to use your service.

One of the problems that a lot of self employed people have is that they rely on there mobile phones as without them they're unable to take calls on the move. Displaying a local area number and answering it on a mobile devise would be the ideal situation. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to get a virtual number and then direct the calls toward the device you wish to answer it on. This gives you the benefit of a local number, which puts across a good image and give you the local feel you want. While answering it on a mobile device gives you the flexibility and freedom to get on with the jobs you have. 

Are you constantly moving your office?

More and more people are moving offices regularly whether it is because your company is developing quickly, you're always on the move, or you are always attended different events. This process can be a difficult and a stressful task as lead times for internet connectivity are variable and can take a long time.   

Making this process as quick and easy means that people can get to work quicker, start making money, and keep client and customers happy. Anvil Mobile have made this easy with their Instant 3G Office. Instant Office provides a simple and quick way to get connectivity enabling communications to the outside world.
