By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Thames & Hudson approached Neon to help promote their 60th Anniversary celebrations and accompanying activities throughout the year. Neon developed the new 60th Anniversary signature, using the Thames & Hudson dolphin colophon, which was to appear on every branded item for that year. The title of Neon’s initial book of marketing ideas for the year, ‘Sixty years of making a splash’ was adopted by Thames & Hudson as the 60th Anniversary year strapline. Neon’s involvement in the Thames & Hudson 60 years of making a splash project included a wide spectrum of other projects, from a range of limited edition reprints, to literature and in-store branding. Neon were invited to take an overall creative directorship role working with Thames & Hudson’s internal marketing and design teams during the anniversary period. – Idea, art direction and design by Neon Design & Branding Consultancy www.neon-creative.com

Thames & Hudson
60th Anniversary

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
