Nando's

Nando's has recently refreshed it's identity to keep the brand looking fresh and current.


The logo itself has been simplified and reduced down to three colour ways, a 'PERi Red Pantone', black and white. This allows the logo to breathe, with a flattened design and new distinct custom typeface for the logotype which sits nicely against the custom type they already use.

The use of neon colours in the new branding material used throughout print and digital media is an invigorating change for Nando's as traditionally they would use much more earthly colours and tones. I think this is a response to the increase in younger customers dining at the restaurant and Nando's wanting to tap into this market even further by distancing itself from other high street restaurants like Pizza Express, Frankie & Benny's, and Chiquito's.

The continued use of the font that has been used since Nando's inception is great in my opinion is good because as all the other elements have changed, so the font acts as a grounding point that gives the customers something to relate to.

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...
