    About

    My design practice has developed to become

    ever more corporate. The conceptual

    thinking and business knowledge required

    when working on corporate branding really

    inuences me and the way I work as well as

    the opportunity for research into particular

    target audiences.

    of the best corporate branding companies ofmodern day. It explores companies design

    and marketing strategies when dealing with

    Fastjet

    The strategic new identity has been applied by

    SomeOne across all primary branded surfaces

    From the plane livery to sta uniforms.

    We hope that our friendly new mascot and

    logo will soon become universally recognised

    as symbols of reliability, eciency and safety

    said Mr Winter. FastJet has recently bought

    the African airline Fly540 which operates in

    Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana & Angola and it is

    envisaged that over time, the Fly540 brand

    will be replaced by the fastjet brand identity

    designed by SomeOne.

    SomeOnes Co-Founder and Executive Creative

    Director, Simon Manchipp said, An airline

    is one the best opportunities to deploy our

    BrandWorld thinking the team at FastJet

    immediately saw the potential in launching witha wider reaching range of Brand assets from

    day one. Colours, Logos, Patterns, Typefaces,

    Systems, Sounds, Films, Animations, Music and

    of course the new spokes creature the African

    Grey all these create a smart, cohesive brand

    launch with a strong story at its heart.

    FastJet is the new smart way for Africa to travel.

    The organisation has launched with an equallysmart way to communicate with its customers,

    sta and public at large.

    Linklaters

    City law rm Linklaters had doubled in size

    through a string of European mergers. But for

    growth to continue, it knew it needed to stand

    for something beyond mere size: something tounite and motivate its people, and attract the

    best clients. So, rather than being a conventional

    law rm bland in its communication, happy to

    hide behind the parapets Linklaters decided to

    be dierent: to have a clear ethos, a strong point

    of view, and a striking way of communicating.

    Wol Olins found a distinctive truth about

    Linklaters: its ability to make things happen

    whatever the odds, to tackle the most

    intractable problems and get results. We

    summarized this truth as achieving the

    unachievable. We ran work sessions across

    the rm, challenging people to nd the ten

    things they could do to bring the idea to life,

    and we created a bold new communication

    style, based on words a lawyers mainweapon that uses clever word play and

    strong typography.

    Since the new brand launch Linklaters has

    continued to grow globally and successfully

    and in 2009 it overtook Freshelds Bruckhaus

    Deringer to become the worlds largest law

    rm. Today it has 2,500 attorneys in 26 oces

    spanning 19 countries. 2005 saw Linklaters

    create Japans rst fully-merged law rm

    practicing Japanese, English and US law. Since

    2004 Linklaters has won numerous awards

    across the globe and secured top rankings inthe most prestigious market reviews. Linklaters

    reported a revenue of 1.3 billion in 2009.

    TT CLUB

    As leaders in the eld of

    transport and logistics insurance,

    Club recognised the need to adopt

    a brand leadership positioning. They

    needed to look the part. The brand strategy

    we developed for them reects this leadership

    positioning, allowing them to stand head and shoulders

    above the rest of the players in the market.

    We helped them discover their story, carefully constructing

    their communications platform on the features and proof

    points of distinctive dierence that wed identied.

    When we developed a new brand strategy for Club we needed

    to create a new style of communicating as well.

    One that was based on the rms distinctive dierences wed

    identied but with a style that was itself able to set them

    apart from the morass of other players.

    When you become a customer of Club you

    become a member. So we developed a

    prestigious new membership pack.

    What it contains is important

    useful information. But

    how the information

    is delivered feels

    important as

    well.

    Since we were developing a new brand strategywe needed to explain to people the whys and

    wherefores. We created a new internal brand

    book to explain the brand strengths to Club

    employees around the world.

    And at a time when all ads in the sector seemed

    to be lled with pictures of containers and

    container ships we created an imaginative

    way of presenting the Clubs brand strengths sothat we could step outside the world of tired

    and hackneyed imagery.

    The Challenge:

    BCSC and Colmena where two separate banks

    in Colombia that shared the same mother brand

    Fundacion Social. With over 100 years of history,

    the company decided to revise it portfolio andbusiness strategy. They understood that in order

    to be competitive and show modernity and social

    commitment, given attributes of Colombias

    microcredit banking sector, they had to redene

    their business and brand strategy. The challenge

    was to restructure the brands portfolio in order

    to position itself in the low income segment a

    thee preferred bank for Colombians enteringinto the banking world.

    The Idea

    Merge BCSC and Colmena in order to create a

    single and powerful brand capable of becoming

    Colombians simplest and friendliest banks. Thisis how Banco Caja Social was born.

    The Solution

    FutureBrand recommended the use of a single

    brand for a common purpose with a renewed

    visual identity and a powerful strategy that

    placed the social commitment over any

    other assets. Nowadays Banco Caha Social is

    Colombians best friend in banking.

    Overview

    Melbourne is a dynamic, progressive city,

    internationally recognized for its diversity,

    innovation, sustainability, and livability.

    The City of Melbourne Council supports thecitys world-class oerings, represents it

    nationally and internationally, and ensures

    it remains a preeminent Australian centre

    for culture, arts, dining, entertainment,

    education, and shopping. Since implementing

    its previous identity 15 years ago, Melbourne

    has experienced signicant change. As a

    result, the Council had accumulated a range

    of isolated logos for various services, whichhad become increasingly dicult and costly

    to manage. The fragmentation of Melbournes

    identity meant equity was driven away from

    the core brand, and the Council realized that

    it needed a long-term solution.

    The City of Melbourne Council asked Landorto develop a cohesive brand strategy and

    new identity system. The challenge was to

    reect Melbournes cool sophistication on the

    world stage, capture the passion of its people,

    and provide the city with a unied, exible,

    and future-focused image. The new identity

    needed to overcome political complexities,

    improve the cost-eectiveness of managing

    the brand, and unite the disparate range of

    entities (including the Council, the city of

    Melbournes destination brand, and an ever-growing portfolio of dierent initiatives,

    programs, services, events, and activities).

    We built the branding program based

    on the results of a thorough audit of

    Melbournes various identities and its

    long-term sustainability and strategic

    plans. The audit assessed public opinion

    and interviewed stakeholders who included

    local government ocials, business owners,

    and community representatives. At the

    heart of the new design, the bold M

    presents a full expression of the identity

    systemimmediately recognizable and as

    multifaceted as the city itself: creative,

    cultural, sustainable. A celebration of

    diversity and personal interpretation that is

    both future-proof and iconic.

    A Premium Challenge

    Digiturk is not only Turkeys No.1 pay-TV brand,

    it keeps Turks across the world connected to

    the best in entertainment. It oers over 200

    channels to subscribers and produces the

    content for many of these itself. Increasingly,

    however, it was nding itself in competition

    with high quality free-to-air TV in Turkey and

    across the EU. It had traditionally relied on

    football and movie rights to justify its price

    premium as these rights became increasingly

    expensive and sought aer by other

    broadcasters, Digiturk needed a compelling

    answer to the question Why pay for TV when I

    can get it for free?

    Our advice to Digiturk was to focus on what

    theyre best at: a guaranteed good time. A

    promise thats easy to make, but its hard to nd

    a group of people that is as enthusiastic aboutkeeping it as Digiturks team.

    Together with them, the brand we developed

    centred around what we call Digiland. Ask

    yourself: how long does it take your regular TV

    to make you smile, frown, laugh or cry? How

    oen does it happen at all? Digiturk is all about

    creating those reactions. About entertaining

    you in the way you choose. Making you think,making your jaw drop, whisking you away

    to this incredible place known as Digiland. A

    place where there are no bored kids and where

    rainy Sundays provide a perfect excuse to stay

    in. Crucially, this idea embraced the multiple

    screens that Digiturk will increasingly nd

    itself providing entertainment on Digiland cancome alive on any device.

    Our visual solution brought the idea to life using

    rings alive with the emotions of the viewer,

    forming a exible identity that is as varied

    as Digiturks programming. The visual language

    was applied across a range of applications,

    from communications through to TV and iOS/

    tablet devices.

    Nation Building

    Digiturk launched its new identity in March 2011

    to incredibly positive reactions from the press

    and subscribers. It has re-armed its position

    as the premier source for entertainment;

    whether on your mobile phone, your computer

    or your TV.
