Traditional and pioneering; the tension generated by these conflicting characteristics help define The Diocese of Down and Dromore. Central to the success of the identity project was the re-crafting of the diocesan crest and careful negotiating with the Office of the Chief Herald of Ireland. The result is a modern heraldic achievement within a D-shaped shield capable of clear reproduction at small scale.

For a number of years the college had been aware that its prospectus and marketing material were not as effective as they should be for a modern education provider.
In collaboration with the college we set about rationalising the written content, assessing how best to refine and control the flow of information online and in print.
Commissioned photography, by Susie Rea, brilliantly captured the dynamic of the college, which in conjunction with a strong typographic structure created a backbone for the brands visual framework.

And we also got to inject new life into an established logo along the way.
