The 2016 International Visual Identity Awards are the world’s most comprehensive and independent visual identity competition. Entries were received from all countries worldwide.
This International Award submission has had a very successful year, with record entries from 25 countries across 6 continents, from a broad range of agencies, individual designers and corporates.
VI’s submission was in the Financial Services category. More than just a logo. The brand development included a number of examples of application. These were across a variety of items, displayed as part of a new visual identity system. Created for a UK industry body in the venture capital industry, with more than 600 member firms, they provide market intelligence, technical updates and specialist training to their membership.
The brand problem
They have a well-recognised existing brand and logo. As with many membership organisations, they struggled to give structure to their key areas of business and products. The product portfolio had evolved over time, and as a result, messaging was difficult to identify and messy. They wanted to develop a core brand structure that allowed each product channel to be identifiable with sub-branding. This formed key messaging for a myriad of individual products.
The brand solution
Using hand-drawn icons unique to the client and an updated colour palette. We delivered a complex development of their existing brand to allow for sub-brands and content organisation. This gives a fresh, modern addition to the existing brand. It also offered flexibility as the core elements could be bolted or extruded according to the requirement or use.
The brand result – International Award
Whilst this brand development project hasn’t fully launched yet across all collateral. This has allowed the client to structure their content and core messages clearly. The website launched in January 2017 and makes for a prominent stage for the brand’s first outing. Take a look at the winners and their wonderful work. Visual Identity Creative Ltd is very proud to be amongst such a good company.
