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.

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

The Anemones

The packaging was developed to suit to the appeal of a younger generation using bright, contrasting colours to create a lasting impact and one that will stand out from the other toys on the shelf. The window design is a unique element, representing bubbles underwater these windows allow the younger target market to see into the packaging and view their chosen Anemone! It was important that the characters developed for the project were instantly likeable and contained similarities that allowed them to be different whilst also maintaining the same design style, through the use of shape and colour to connect them thematically. The two main characters developed; Woodle and Yoodle are both are designed with large round eyes and large grinning mouth to reflect the friendly, funny nature of the harmless sea creatures.

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 incorpor
