PG Tips

2015 saw the rebrand of much loved tea brand PG Tips, slimming the brand down to a simple pallet of colour and incorporating traditional serif typography alongside striking geometric sans type.
















Looking back at the previous version of the identity for PG Tips it was acceptable but by no means leading in design compared to what other house hold brand had started to do in ways of refreshing their product line up. Through slimming the identity down the creators of this new look; Jones Knowles Ritchie has allowed the average consumer to still instantly connect to the brand as the same basic elements and form remain however the overall look has been tidied up and I think this suits the product to reflect the heritage but means it can also keep ahead of other competitive brands in terms of branding style and image.



"Keep it tea."


The new slogan for PG Tips, "Keep it tea." is a great way of verbally communicating this design change to the consumer, out with all the cluttered variety of drinks we see on the shelves these days and back to a more simplistic and traditional cup of english tea. This is believe is a successful project and overall I love the new visual style for the brand keeping it on trend and current. I have a slight niggle with the positioning of 'tips' on the 'G' the lower descender of the 'p' should be highly the allow a slightly better lockup but it isn't too major.

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 inco...
