Can you reach level 2

I worked closely with the staff at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery to develop a research space in the heart of the museum.

The identity developed from the existing museum brand and introduced the name Level 2 which not only referenced the location of the research studio and handling space but also acts as an aspiration, enticing visitors to graduate from merely looking at objects to handling and touching them... will you discover the next level at this museum.

A versatile chevron icon became the bases for the brandand is seen across signage, digital and print.

Creating Space for Work
Mayfair Business Centres approached us with an open mind to reposition their brand to stand out in a saturated market place.

The strategy is underpinned by the simple fact that Mayfair offer spaces of all shapes and sizes as blank canvasses for their customers.

Mayfair provide the space, the infastructure, the amenities and you make it your own. We developed a brand that creates a space to be filled. A brand that has the ability to give each centre its own personal voice, to appeal to certain styles of businesses. Goodbye personality vacuums… Hello W_RKSPACE.

Whisk Yourself Away 

Working closely with the team behind Preston’s most successful cultural venue, we were asked to create a brand that reflected the vibrant and eclectic nature of the audience and events.

In the midst of the Uk’s European exit we pitched a return to the true meaning of continental. Taking inspiration from the golden years of European travel we developed a brand that has modern vacation vibes with a bucket load of nostalgia.

A bold custom word mark became the marquee of the brand, follow by a combination of six headline fonts that enable the brand speak clearly to different audiences. Combined with lively, bold colours and a “travel inspired” stamp system that adds a quirky edge on unexpected touchpoints. The menu system is informal and paper-based with lively, saturated colors and mixed typography to add character and high impact.

We Are Design Engineers

Alpine Fire Engineers approached us as they where growing at an exponential rate. They had made their name through being on the cutting edge of designing complex fire safety systems for huge warehouses.

Our aim was to build upon the existing Alpine brand in order to reposition them as thought leaders in their field. We scrapped everything but the colours.

We built a brand language that screams design engineer with simple, bold, timeless typography alongside CAD-like lines and geometric patterns. All this combines to create a sophisticated brand identity that has driven growth and built an internal loyalty that has seen productivity go through the roof.

Exhibition in a box

Tasked with creating a low effort, self contained, tourable exhibition on a low budget, and with the help of James Galiford and master craftsman Greg Morgan we concepted, developed and built a bespoke flight case inspired, exhibition in a box.

With two men, the exhibition can be rolled out and set up in under an hour. There is a fully secure object display case hidden in the centre of the box which enables the exhibitors to display objects and reach audiences that wouldn’t usual attend museums. The graphic panels are replaceable, making the exhibition unit completely repurposeable and bespoke to each event.

The doctor doctor exhibition uses a clean colour and typographic approach. Using contrasting fonts to bridge the gap from old to new and sharp colourful speech bubbles to open a dialogue with the viewer.
