Tate



Tate recently evolved it's logo into something much more cohesive and practical, their previous logo had no strict guidelines it was a variety of different vector circles pushed together to form a logo, these paired with brand guidelines which were all but none existent have slowly lead to a decline in the quality of material produced to advertise the Tate.

Design agency North have stripped back the logo to one basic form, using less circles and creating a design that is, in my opinion much more pleasing on the eye.


Above you can see samples of the old identity shown on Under Consideration, it is clear that really the design process has become muddy, there isn't a clear image style or process to match to and it all looks very random. I believe what North have achieved is by tidying this process up, introducing set colour ways and typography styles, advertising for Tate will become much more successful and easier  to link when seen on different formats of advertising whether it be above or below the line.

Scarefest Map

Alton Towers Resort released the 2016 Scarefest map, and as expected it's busy and complicated. Working at the Resort myself a common issue for guests is getting lost even when they're following the map! And I can understand why, I think that the map is complicated to view, offers no real scale and location base to the real life counter part and in the end causes more confusion than help. Using a full colour palette the map is visually interesting and the juxtaposition of playful and scary elements is a great summary of Scarefest in general. The map even includes a 'Where's Wally' of sorts in that people should hunt for the four main Scarefest characters on the map. An annoyance I find from a practical point of view is that the map isn't useful in terms of it's scale and location. For example, it situates the Tree Top Quest adjacent to the rear of Sharkbait Reef, when infact these two attractions are at opposite ends of the park and are at l...

EE Rebranding Process

UK mobile phone operators Orange and T-Mobile who merged to become Everything Everywhere, later simplified their name to EE. As of 2016, EE is soaring in profits, seeing a 10% increase to over £6.5bn in revenue in the three years from 2010 to 2013. More recently EE was purchased by the UK communication giant British Telecom Group more commonly known as BT. The success of EE’s new status as a highly successful mobile phone operator is underpinned by that of their successful rebranding strategy. This sentence itself is a relative contradiction as from the two years that followed from 2010, when Orange and T-Mobile merged the company traded under the brand name ‘Everything Everywhere’ this didn’t appear to catch on, rollout of this brand was slow, and to many people Orange and T-Mobile were trading exactly as they always have. Small trial concept Everything Everywhere stores were launched and the predicted feedback came back that the company was struggling to get the new bran...
