Deliveroo springs a new logo



Deliveroo has updated it's identity to become more sharper and minimal, they have however retained the Kangaroo imagery in keeping with the 'roo' part of the brand name, which I think is a nice touch and one that could of easily been swiped away, this gives the brand something to attach and promote itself with rather than being typical and sticking with food or conventional delivery imagery.

Before and after comparison from Under Consideration

Although I like the new style, I don't think it reflects the brand quite so well, with some tweaking and simplifying the original logo could have been updated and I feel that would have been a far better approach to take than rebranding completely to a style I feel is quite cold.

Illustration style show through posters

The style they have used I think is quite nice in it's actual design and the simplicity of it stands out against the competition, however I feel for a company who's basis is food this message is now not clear to the consumer. If you did not know who Deliveroo were would you immediately know that they are a restaurant food delivery company, or just another competitor to ao.com? This is the key point that I feel is the issue with this rebrand and I'm certain they will switch out the illustrations for actual food in the near future.

Rhyno

I recently created a new visual identity for my own design work, Rhyno follows on from the logo I launched with the name just over a year ago, assigned a study project to craft an identity to sell my skills through I settled on Rhyno. I've been happy with the name and the soft, darkened tone of purple ever since yet the logotype never appealed to me all that much, seen below it shows how I edited the type and incorporated a tusk into the bowl of the R. Using Gotham as my typeface, I felt it represented a modern clean style, and the tusk in the letter R was a nice quirky way of tying the logotype back to the name. The new logo came about after I started to develop my website, needing a favicon icon for my site, the existing logo simply wouldn't be visible at the typical 16 x 16 favicon size. Therefore I began to come up with ideas for an icon of my own, again incorporating a visual representation of a Rhino to tie in with the Rhyno name. Seen below is the new l...

Chronology

For my final major project, I developed a brand identity for a theme park, called Chronology based in Stoke-on-Trent. Materials produced in association with this concept include tickets and vouchers alongside a range of promotional print such as leaflets and guides. In addition to these developed products I produced a vertical wall poster displaying a general advertisement for the Chronology theme park / attraction. I looked at ways I could reach my target market through the development of a mobile app, and an interface that can link the park real time with the application. I developed concepts for the Exhibition Space including to scale representations of the artwork I would include. I wanted to give the Exhibition Space a theme so I thought of different textures of wallpaper to use and the inclusion of lighting. The logo was crafted from drawing done by hand. I wanted something that looked handwritten and at the same time inco...

Jurassic Park Leaflet

This Jurassic Park Leaflet was designed to represent the park as if it was a real world attraction, with adverts from sponsors of the film, this adds an addition sense of real world value against what we know to be fiction.   The leaflet is clearly of a 1990's design featuring nice hand drawn illustrations of the Jurassic Park gates set against the images of the island itself. The overall look is quite clean but retains the jungle approach to the leaflet and theme of Jurassic Park. I believe that they might have used too much body copy throughout the piece given that the point size of the type is quite small however I see that they have tried to include different languages and include all information possible. They style of the leaflet is very similar to that of generic tourist destination leaflets in that it includes plenty of images and shots of the features of Jurassic Park however surprisingly there is no images of the dinosaurs the...
