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 logotype set in Baskerville, which I think represents the heritage of Stoke on Trent which is something I wanted to reflect in my design, whilst also incorporating the new symbol logo acting as a period on the logotype.

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...
