Shaped by
the sea



How do we capture a town and a people shaped by the sea? A place of shipwrecks and stories, myths and makers. Poole Museum wanted a brand that could bring all of that to life, reflecting its ever-changing character, vibrant community and the sea’s enduring pull.

The Challenge

Bringing Poole Museum to life in a modern and impactful way, creating a brand experience that felt unique and unmistakably “Poole.”

The identity needed to reflect a town and community shaped by the sea: dynamic, layered, and full of character. But Poole isn’t just about heritage, it’s a place where creativity meets industry, where the expected gives way to the unexpected.

Our challenge was to capture that fusion of influences. The maritime, the cultural, and the contemporary, translating it into a visual and verbal language that could anchor the museum’s next chapter.

The Solution

We built a brand that reflects the town’s rich mix of people, industry and influence. It’s full of character and a touch of the unexpected.

Our colours take their cues from Poole, industry, and the coastline, with names drawn from the water and the working harbour town. Weathered circle motifs echo the marks left by time and tide. The typography system utilises an array of weights and varied type widths in stacked layouts mirroring the craftsmanship and blend of cultures that define the place.

Together, all these elements create a brand that feels fresh, layered and full of life, designed to spark that instant Ooooo moment of curiosity and connection that Poole inspires.

A brand telling stories that move people



The National Motor Museum holds a unique world-class collection of vehicles. They wanted a brand that would help them share the stories of motoring and the spirit of their vehicles, past and future, in a way that entertains and inspires people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of interest in motoring.

The Challenge

The brand needed to visualise the invisible spirit of the museum, and the sense of motion both in the vehicles and in the evolution of motoring itself. It’s impressive collection is vast and continually evolving – no single vehicle could adequately represent it, or embody the many stories of progress and innovation. We also needed to be mindful that as a museum, and that in many uses the brand is not the hero – the exhibits are. The challenge was to find a way to visually symbolise the story of motoring evolution that was both sophisticated and emotive, bold when it needs to be and recessive when it doesn’t.

The Solution

We developed a brand that celebrates the stories that move people by visualising the concept of motion, and the journey of motoring. Inspired by vintage motoring posters, we developed a suite of roads and speed lines – swooping, dipping and cornering around copy and images to bring energy and momentum when needed. The simple but dynamic logo is positioned over three distinct lines of traffic that are constantly changing position and in motion whenever possible.

“It has been marvellous working with your creative team on a brand that builds on the heritage of the National Motor Museum, but will give us a crisp, fresh contemporary look – and a brand identity which will be extremely flexible, both on-site at Beaulieu, at our roadshow events and online.”

Seeing the environment differently



ESAS (Environmental Science at Southampton University) are a University department full of sector leading expertise and specialist equipment, and were looking to make a commercial offering to the industry. Their unique setup gave them a fantastic springboard, but they needed a brand and website to effectively communicate their offer to industry.

The Challenge

To create a standout brand and website for an organisation who are driven by a search for knowledge, not funds. Their commercial interests are secondary to their intelectual interests. This gave ESAS a unique identity as thought leaders who can afford to ask the questions others don’t.

The Solution

The ESAS logo features a fingerprint brandmark that integrates both natural and tech elements. Elements such as a leaf and tree rings weave together alongside the technological features such as sonar. There’s also a nod to ESAS’ pioneering nature with the leaf veins positioned to signify forward movement. The full name is featured in the primary logo to ensure people know and understand who ESAS are.

Energising an
established
travel brand



With over 45 years’ experience managing travel for teams, performers, crew, media, and sponsors, Travel Places are the leading specialists in sports, media, and entertainment travel. They approached us with an existing brand in need of a fresh injection of energy.


The Challenge

We needed to capture the expertise, innovation and attention to detail that is at the heart of specialist travel. It needed to stand out with confidence in a range of sectors, while also staying true to its legacy. The brand had to reflect the breadth of specialisms, without being tied to specific events or destinations, ensuring it remained timeless and adaptable as the travel landscape evolved.


The Solution

The solution was built around a dynamic and adaptable visual identity that captures the depth of understanding needed to ensure athletes and artists can perform at their best. Through considered use of photography, depth of colour and the hero icon, the brand conveys movement, precision, and expertise. Every element was designed to be interchangeable across sectors and to work responsively, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints. This approach created a bold, future-proof identity that amplifies Travel Places’ commitment to delivering exceptional travel solutions.

Connecting young people with culture and creativity



We were tasked with branding the event in a way that resonated with young people, and inspired them, and represented the diverse and exciting range of cultures and creativity that Southampton has to offer. This event was part of the Connecting Culture Project, by the University of Southampton, with support from Arts Council England and Southampton City Council.

The Challenge

Our challenge was set by the Cultural Connectors, a group of local young people aged 16 – 25, who were active in the project. We were commissioned to create a visual identity for a public festival for children and young people that was being put on to broaden the awareness of creative and cultural activity within the city of Southampton. It needed to be representative of the city’s many different cultural influences, feel inspiring and engaging for a broad range of children and young people (between the ages of 5 and 25), and meet all required accessibility standards.

Cultural Connectors aims for the event were to explore and increase participants:

• Pride in Southampton’s creativity
• A sense of belonging at the event
• Inspiring visitors to be more creative
• Confidence to find out about the City’s creativity opportunities
• Cultural Quarter visits

The Solution

Working with the Cultural Connectors, we developed an identity that visualised diverse cultures using connecting hands, bright abstract colours and bold modular typography. We developed a series of shapes and patterns to represent the various cultural opportunities that Southampton has to offer. Illustrated hands were introduced to represent the people of Southampton, they point, connect, hold and intertwine, and have unique personalities (tattoos, rings, hand signals). The visual identity was distinctive and full of creative energy, with playful elements and a rich set of visual elements that could be used collectively or in isolation.

We’re proud to have supported an event that empowered young people and gave them an opportunity to express themselves, and see how they can explore a path into creative careers and widened the cultural perspectives of young people in the community.

They had developed a stunning identity and were looking for a creative partner to help grow the brand and produce collateral across a range of mediums, and to get the product to market in US superstores.

The Solution

We redesigned the product packaging and messaging to resonate with an in-store audience, created some stunning gift box packages to aid investment conversations, and produced a suite of social media collateral to both promote the message and help the audience create their own content online.

The art of
togetherness



There’s no other place on Earth that has Beaulieu’s unique collection of attractions together in one place. The National Motor Museum, Palace House, the Abbey Ruins, World of Top Gear, Little Beaulieu play area, the Monorail, the living history characters and the beautiful gardens. Beaulieu is, quite simply, the sum of its parts.

The Challenge

A brilliant day out is all about spending quality time together. At Beaulieu there’s something for everyone, with their unique and eclectic range of attractions together in one place, no one is compromising on their day out. Beaulieu wanted a hard-hitting creative campaign that resonated with family members of all ages, and visually articulated the theme of togetherness, while showcasing the range of attractions.

The Solution

We created an abstract montage using a range of bespoke photography, which showcased all the attractions in a vibrant, charming and slightly surreal way, demonstrating an individual quality that’s quintessentially Beaulieu. The montage was extremely flexible and adapted to fit a wide range of sizes and formats, for maximum impact.
