Take your character, brand or corporate logo and turn it into a desktop character. Your customers can interact with it, send it to friends, or hide it when the boss turns up. This is an excellent, cost effective way to promote your brand, or add value to an online / viral marketing campaign and expose a large number of potential clients to your product, brand or logo.

Desktop characters often take the form of an animated character who entertains and interacts with users on their desktops. The character could be based on an existing identity, brand or logo. Alternatively Turtlez can design a character based on your design brief.

You could even choose to have a desktop logo rather than a character that gives a permanent presence on the desktop to your brand.
