Make sure they are official - you might want to go to a proper marketing company to make sure (eg http://www.diabolical.co.uk/ or http://www.allcitymedia.com/ or http://2ddesign.co.uk/ or... there are many online, search google for design company in London or look up your favourite band, film, game etc)
