A Star is Born! PhotoBox Unveils a New Look for a New Era

May 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Established at the turn of the millennium, PhotoBox was the first online digital photography brand in the UK. Seven years on it’s still leading the way, continuing to offer customers an ever-increasing number of innovative ways to enjoy their photos.

In 2006 PhotoBox joined forces with its French counterpart, Photoways, to become Europe’s largest online photo service.  As a unified brand, the star is also present in the logo of new sister service, Greetings by PhotoBox, an online greeting card service that shares the same heritage and quality as PhotoBox.

Commenting on the rebrand, Mark Chapman, PhotoBox’s UK Managing Director said, ‘Our innovative, enthusiastic and dynamic approach has lead to PhotoBox being a consumer favourite for over seven years. As the brand continues to evolve and excite, PhotoBox requires a new symbol to embody its spirit. Our new logo symbolises just this: our journey, our evolution, our reputation and our future. A star perfectly communicates PhotoBox’s position as the leader in the online photographic industry directly to the people who helped us get there: our customers’.

To coincide with the PhotoBox rebrand, customers can now enjoy a new PhotoBox blog, a great sounding post for providing feedback, as well as swapping ideas and enthusiasm with other members. With so many improvements PhotoBox certainly looks set for a very bright future.
