Every company has an aspiration, a sense of purpose, a desire to succeed. Behind every company, event or product, ambitious people drive and control commercial objectives. By doing so, they mould, create and evoke corporate personality.

‘Branding’ is a word that, these days, appears to have disparate meaning. Designers may talk of a company ‘brand’ when referring to a logotype, symbol, marque, roundel or corporate image. Retailers may refer to a packet of cornflakes, a tube of toothpaste or a can of cola as a specific ‘brand’. A car manufacturer or airline may have a perceived ‘brand’ which, for better or worse, is exemplified by its workforce and performance.

Despite the varying interpretations, we define a ‘brand’ as something that reflects the ethos and integrity of a company, its people, products and services. As designers, our objective is to visually portray these characteristics as a public face. Before we can visually communicate brand values, we need to analyse the company or product in relation to marketing objectives and projected audience. Only then can we determine the communication requirements and conceive an arresting visual solution.

The purpose of this brochure is to portray some of our creative visual identity solutions and to show the thought processes involved when we conceive, design and implement brand values as a result of realising client objectives...even when it involves a herd of cows.

an international conference

Visually presenting a framework for creative, innovative, practical dialogue

Branding an international conference

‘Children of Conflict’ was an innovative conference bringing together global best practice and world experts to tackle the growing crisis in youth education and unemployment. It aim was to make a positive, practical and measurable impact on resolving the NEET crisis (young people not in education, employment or training). The conference had a strong international focus, drawing on delegates from Gaza, Israel, Japan, Africa and the USA.

Background The NEET problem is a global one but has especial resonance in societies emerging from conflict. Conflict has long lasting negative effects on children and young people who often leave school with no employment, education or training. They therefore enjoy no peace dividend, and drift into economic inactivity, unemployment and crime, or worse still become vulnerable to extremism.

The focus was on practical solutions to real problems, involving policy-makers and representatives of front line community organisations from all over the world.

Conference objectives The conference aimed to study this phenomenon and how it could be resolved through direct intervention with NEETS. It also aimed to address an important challenge for all communities: breaking this cycle through early intervention with young children. Thus, Belfast provided a fascinating backdrop to discuss this universal issue which can have critical consequences for regions emerging from conflict, as well as countries in economic crisis and recovering from recession.

Our conceptThe challenge in conceiving a visual concept for the Children of Conflict branding, was to produce a visually striking identity which was sympathetic to the sensitive subject matter. The identity also had to reflect the creative aspect of the conference’s innovational structure.

Our solution for the logo was to utilise the two ‘C’s in the conference title as a visual representation of two sides coming together: merging, discussing, solving. The top circle completes the main symbolic reference to a child reaching out. Colours are modern and optimistic and typography is simple, yet determined.

A background of lively, colourful brush strokes was introduced to provide impact for use as a backdrop to the main stage as well as for display posters and banners. The backdrop represents creativity and innovation.

Welcome to the Children of Conflict Conference at the Europa Hotel.

The purpose of this unique event is to explore how we can offer better opportunities to young people so that they can make the most of their lives.

Youth unemployment is growing everywhere and is blighting the hopes and aspirations of so many. This conference will look at the issue holistically and attempt to synthesise learnings from a range of different disciplines

We have economists, youth workers, criminologists, early years practitioners and academics, prison staff and our own Chief Constable adding their voices to the debate.

There are representatives from across the world, several of them from other conflict and post conflict regions. We have employers, mental health experts and educationists.

This is a complex issue which requires a multi-disciplinary approach for its resolution and it is exciting to see so many delegates and speakers from such disparate backgrounds.

We have also ensured that the voices of young people are heard as well. On Tuesday Nigel Newman from the Edward de Bono foundation will be facilitating a workshop with a group of young people currently not in employment. Their insights will be shared with us on the final day of the conference.

I sincerely hope that everyone who attends gains fresh insight into the issues we discuss, forges strong collaborative relationships with other delegates and emerges energised and inspired to help continue to make a difference to young people. It’s never been more important.

ProgrammeTuesday 27th March 2012

8.30 – 9.15 Morning refreshments

9.15 – 10.00 Professor Stuart Shanker: “Development of Self-Regulation” (introduced by Siobhan Fitzpatrick, Early Years), followed by Q&A

Recent advances in developmental neuroscience are dramatically altering attitudes towards the possibility of maximizing the educational potential of every child. Scientists now understand that the better a child can self-regulate, the better they can rise to the challenge of mastering ever more complex skills and concepts. But what exactly is self-regulation, and why is it so important for learning? Dr Shanker will talk about the nature of self-regulation; the experiences that promote the development of self-regulation and the factors that can impede its development; and what parents or teachers can do to enhance the self-regulation of each and every child.

10.00 – 10.45 Professor Tim Shanahan: “Literacy Learning and Social Wellbeing” (introduced by Lynda Wilson, Barnardo’s) followed by Q&A

This presentation will trace the social and economic implications of literacy learning and will consider what is needed both to improve literacy for “children in conflict” and to ensure that this improved literacy has the desirable social benefits in terms of breaking down isolation, sectarianism, and disaffection that plague youth

10.45 – 11.15 Refreshments

11.15 – 11.45 Dr David Armstrong: ‘A Lost Generation? Creating a better future for young people not in education, employment or training’

Dr Armstrong will present PwC’s analysis of the causes of the problem and what we can do about it. This talk will form the basis of PwC’s NI Futures briefing paper, which will be distributed to delegates at the conference.

11.45 – 12.30 Rehabilitation not Incarceration: Gary Alcock, Governing Governor of Hydebank Wood Young Offenders Centre and Dan Gordon, Prison Arts Programme

Governor Gary Alcock will describe the regime at Hydebank Wood Young Offenders Centre and explain the rehabilitation work that goes on there. Following this, accomplished actor Dan Gordon will explore the role of arts in rehabilitation and in helping young people to understand their true potential.

12.30 – 1.00 Chief Constable Matt Baggott: How we are engaging with the young, the police and its role with youth and communities.

1.00 – 2.00 LUNCH

2.00 – 3.00 Shadd Maruna: young offenders rehabilitation (introduced by Breidge Gadd) followed by Q&A

Professor Shadd Maruna is the Director of the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Queen’s University Belfast. His presentation will cover understanding public opinion about young people, including the scientifically unfounded widespread belief that young people today are “worse than ever” and unlikely to grow out of delinquent behaviour, unfounded fears of youths, and how beliefs about the permanence of criminality across the life course are the best predictors of “punitive” attitudes about crime.

3.00 – 4.30 Parallel Sessions –

1. “Ready to learn”: Case study with Professor Tim Shanahan and Barnardo’s and Opportunity Youth: Switch Onto Employment programme

2. Children of Conflict International Panel, chaired by Siobhan Fitzpatrick

3. The Road to Employment – “Unlocking Potential: Employability and Entrepreneurship” with Invest NI, Include Youth and Prince’s Trust NI

4. Gems NI, The Bytes Project and New Life Counselling: The importance of maintaining good mental health and wellbeing

4.30 - 5.00 Wrap up for the day and introduction to the next day.

There will also be a parallel Youth Conference taking place on Tuesday that will integrate with the full conference on Wednesday. This will involve practical workshops with young people and will provide an opportunity for young people to share their experiences and thoughts on how to address the youth unemployment crisis.

10.00am – 12.30pm de Bono Foundation (Nigel Newman ): Creative workshop, using de Bono techniques. This will involve approximately 30 young people who are not in education, employment or training.

12.30 pm – 1.00pm DEL Careers’ Advice for delegates

1.00pm --1.30pm Lunch

1.30pm – 3.00pm Mock interview sessions for young people. The young people will be given one of three interview scenarios to prepare for, with the help of DEL advisors. A team of three to five senior executives will then interview candidates and both they and the advisors will provide feedback. DEL Careers’ advisors will offer mentoring services to those young people taking part, going forward.

At 3pm the young people will have the opportunity to go along to the parallel session on entrepreneurship which will led by the Prince’s Trust, Invest NI and Include Youth.

a student livingexperience

Portraying a quality lifestyle for UK-wide student halls of residence

Branding a UK-wide student living experience

Liberty Living plc is the UK’s fastest-growing provider of large-scale student accommodation, providing modern, stylish and affordable living within exciting and progressive learning environments.

Managing approximately 15,000 beds in seventeen cities across England, Scotland and Wales, Liberty Living is the UK’s second largest provider, with student demand for accommodation increasing rapidly.

Background‘Liberty’ is a fast-developing and successful operation. However, with no visual identity and little marketing material, it needed to portray its superb accommodation and facilities to students and universities in a way that

reflected a dynamic and quality living experience. As a company, it also had to project determined values to potential investors. At the time of briefing, the company was two years old and was simply called ‘Liberty’.

Our concept From the outset, we wanted the new company image to emphasise a quality, vibrant student lifestyle. Photography of students in residence was paramount to portraying an exciting student environment.

Our very first suggestion was to call the company Liberty Living, with a stipulation that the words ‘for students’ should appear beneath the newly devised logo.

Strong condensed sans-serif typography was suggested for the name ‘Liberty’, complemented by a contemporary script styling for ‘Living’. With several residences throughout the UK, this solution allowed a generic styling for local property names, eg: Liberty Court Manchester, Liberty Hall Leeds, etc., enhancing the overall company visual identity.

Marketing literature was produced for individual residences and corporate identity guidelines were created for future implementation.

The website (a key marketing tool), adopts a design approach that presents content and funcionality in a spirited and user-friendly way.

Animated sequence for the digital advertising campaign in London.

For students to enjoy the quality, dynamic lifestyle experience, they needed to have a sense of belonging to the brand.

We wanted to project Liberty Living as a reputable, forward-thinking company as well as a leading provider of a quality student lifestyle experience.

The contemporary script style lettering of the main logo provides a flexible styling when applied to each city location, strengthening Liberty Living’s regional identity as well as the overall corporate image.

Digital mediums were key to student interaction through social media networks, blogs and forums, where the students themselves further enhance Liberty Living’s lifestyle brand.

a parade of cowsIntroducing the world’s largest public

art event to a regional community

CowParade© is the largest and most popular public art event in the world. It features life-size reinforced fibreglass cows that are painted by local artists and community groups, sponsored by local businesses, and displayed throughout streets, parks, and other public places. It has taken place in South America, Asia, Europe and the USA.

CowParade© came to Northern Ireland in 2012 promising a festival of fun, art and creativity across both communities and was spread throughout the whole region.

Introducing CowParade© to Northern IrelandAt a time of peace and reconciliation in a previously troubled Province, the branding story of CowParadeNI began by confronting and unlocking political stigma. By addressing previously contentious issues in a light-hearted manner, the potential for creativity and humour offered by hosting a parade of cows was introduced to decision-makers and community leaders.

Branding a parade of cows

The ‘Free Derry’ wall (a significant landmark in the history of The Troubles), was used as a focal point for presenting the fun side of CowParade©, serving as a curtain-raiser to the main event.

Cultural heritage and famous landmarks were used to continue this introductory theme to CowParade© for Northern Ireland: a playful yet sometimes audacious way of setting the scene for this wonderful quirky outdoor public art event.

Our conceptWe wrote down several keywords that we thought best described what CowParade© would mean to Northern Ireland. These included: quirky; creative; culture; carnival and community.

In our search for a theme that would visually project the multiple ingredients of CowParade©, we researched Victorian ephemera – including circus imagery – and deemed it to be outrageous, arresting and unusual. Perfect for introducing a parade of arty cows to Northern Ireland!

We began integrating graphic elements and constructing illustration-style collages, mingling colourful cows and comical Victorian characters with an outlandish sense of humour. The result was a lively graphic styling that portrays the CowParadeNI brand: a colourful extravaganza of quirkiness and creativity, evoking the key aspects of this wonderfully zany event.

Confronting and unlocking political stigma with an audacious sense of humour.

We wanted CowParade© to be appreciated as an event that encouraged integration and created public emotional attachment to the exhibits.

The collage-illustrations are paramount to projecting the CowParade© brand across a range of printed and online mediums.

Jolly characters mingle and observe the decorated cows, suggesting integrated participation between audience and event.

As well as providing event information and interactive content, the website has an exciting landing page full of fun and quirkiness.

The collage-illustrations are extended to include a carnival parade theme for the menu header of the website:www.cowparadeni.com

Developed to integrate with the collage-illustration style, the balloon image works both as a stand-alone event logo as well as being an integral part of the illustration theme.

Secondary collage-illustrations were introduced as a distinctive opener to each section of the website, each illustrating a key attribute of CowParade©.

Light-hearted collages uses stereotypical characters to get both NI communities relishing CowParade© together ...
