The call for new brand identities is one way we occupy ourselves. The emphasis on brand in contemporary culture, or brandmania, has brought about a little confusion of – what is a brand, what is a logo, what is a trade mark?
Our take on the situation is that a brand is the overall sensory presentation of a commercial or cultural entity. A brand identity, corporate identity is the visual collateral programme, inclusive of print, digital, advertising and action. A trade mark, brand graphic or logo is the symbol, graphic and type based presentation – the little thing in the corner of a layout that we are often asked to make bigger, smaller, wider, happier, otherwise the whole marketing campaign will fall in a heap.
The work above is a selection of trademarks that we have produced in recent months. As with all our work we start with the most basic outcomes from which we can apply colour, effect and filters. As mentioned previously; clarity, design craft with the potential conceptual twist, is the basis of all of the above work. Some works are reworkings of existing brands, new works, or outcomes that are developed to work within a set graphic framework or marketing approach.
