By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Adding a bit of sparkle. Like a lot of our projects, this came to us via an existing client relationship - when our old friends at The Goldsmiths' Company recommended Neon to their counterparts at The Gemmological Association of Great Britain (also known as Gem-A). When we met them, Gem-A's communications were short of coherence, and lacked the kind of authoritative feel that would reflect their standing as a trade body with an important industry leadership role to play. We were happy to supply both, across a range of advertising and literature, along with a much needed bit of creative sparkle - demonstrated, for example, by those nice little jeweller's loupes standing in for quotation marks.

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Bisham School feature image. Bisham CE Primary School near Marlow is next to a pond, with swans on it. And the school has always made use of that rather attractive imagery in their communications. But we thought it would be nice to make the swan a more important part of the school’s visual identity, by integrating it into an elegant new brand mark.And we’re pleased to say the school gave our swan-upping a great big tick.

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Amanda Patton stationery. Amanda Patton garden designs have been recognized through many awards (Chelsea Flower Show Gold, RHS Gold) and she is a regular guest broadcaster on BBC radio. Amanda approached Neon (on recommendation) to create a new brand identity for her publications, stationery and portfolio — after realising that she needed a brand identity that reflected some of the themes and values she held as a designer of gardens. Amanda believed that “good design is not just about getting the proportions right, it’s also about getting the communication right, with a common theme of quality and craftsmanship. It’s about being simple, to the point and memorable.” Amanda’s philosophy became our creative brief. Idea, art direction and design by Neon Design & Branding Consultancy www.neon-creative.com

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Thames & Hudson on-going relationship with Neon lead to the commissioning of a Thames & Hudson share certificate and supporting explanatory literature. The brief was to capture all the nessecary legal information including their brand mark and in true Thames & Hudson style also 'be a thing of beauty and proud to own'. The new double sided share certificate combined the T&H dolphins with a rosette style 'splash' rendered in a classic bank note engraving style. At 420mm long and 210mm deep and printed on a pure white luxurious 300gsm paper the new share certificate had a premium feel, making a keep sake in its own right beyond that of number of shares the certificate would come to represent. The share certificate was accompanied by a simple A5 explanation guide, printed on the same luxurious stock, which used the wave line style from the share certificate at the bottom of each page, along which the dolphins playfully leapt from left to right across the page as you progressed through the booklet. – Idea, art direction and design by Neon Design & Branding Consultancy www.neon-creative.com
