By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. The Futures Company Signature image by Neon. On January 31 2008, Yankelovich was acquired by WPP and merged with Henley Centre HeadlightVision (an existing WPP group company). Yankelovich was the US’s leading consumer trends and lifestyle research business and Henley Centre Headlight Vision was Europe’s leading consumer trends business, providing global trends intelligence, research and consultancy services. Neon were approached to provide a new brand idea, name and identity for the merged company, along with a brand architecture that could successfully integrate existing sub brands. Inspired by the high ground of serious, grounded yet inspiring future-facing research consulting, the brand idea is Unlocking Futures and the new name is The Futures Company.

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Amec Foster Wheeler brand identity safety helmet. When two become one… Amec Foster Wheeler the merger of Amec and Foster Wheeler brand identity. Mergers are never easy, and when two giants in the international engineering and construction industry came together. First came the brand idea: Connected Excellence. And, using that as a springboard, we went on to develop a powerful brand mark. The sense of movement created by our radial device suggests dynamism and growth, while the precision-interlocking of the segments reflects the company's global expertise, and the integrated way in which it's delivered. Stacking the rather long name of the new business made it neater and easier to use. And our lower case logotype conveys a light, contemporary feel - as do the fresh, and distinctively non-macho colours. Amec Foster Wheeler the merger of Amec and Foster Wheeler brand identity very much lived up to Connected Excellence by connecting with people across the unified business – an important component of the new identity was a dynamic and engaging visual language, aimed at bringing alive the company's people and processes, in a way that would help to give members of the team a sense of pride in and

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. The Goldsmiths' Centre Creativity Craftsmanship Community workshop reportage 'bench from above'. The Goldsmiths' Centre, Creativity, Craftsmanship, Community. Three words encapsulate the values of The Goldsmiths’ Centre. Creativity encompasses Centre’s commitment to encouraging and inspiring creativity in the design and making of beautiful objects. Craftsmanship refers to the Centre’s important role as a repository of knowledge, building on centuries of experience. Community expresses an important aspiration of the Centre; to create a centre of excellence, a hub where like-minded people and businesses come together to share ideas, collaborate and build relationships, and to become a place of inspiration. These values are married with a brand identity which reflects the Centre’s heritage, with the use of a monochromatic coat of arms of The Goldsmiths’ Company. A strong yellow - the common heraldic substitution for gold – helps create a vibrant, contemporary look and feel, positioning the Centre as a new future-facing organisation, distinctly separate from the more traditional Goldsmiths’ Company. The yellow appears as a crafted information plate on all materials – helping to clearly state the purpose of each piece of comms with the main headline elegantly stencilled into the plate. The new identity was rolled out across all manner of media, including literature, signage and website. – Idea, art direction and design by Neon Design & Branding Consultancy www.neon-creative.com

Brand positioning & identity

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Lane4 brand identity feature image. Founded by Olympic gold medallist Adrian Moorhouse, Lane4 exists to help give its clients a crucial competitive edge. So what was it that gave Lane4 the edge over its rivals? How could the company memorably articulate and project its distinctive approach and commercial offering? Through… The Power of 4. Neon’s view was that the Lane4 difference was based upon a unique combination of four key factors: a passion for performance, a rigorous approach, a focus on potential, and transformational impact. Based on this, we evolved the existing Lane4 brand mark (which the client wanted to preserve) to reflect the idea of The Power of 4 by raising the number within a refined and updated version of the mark. We also evolved the existing strap line, to make it a stronger distillation of both what the Lane4 brand stands for, and their distinctive offering to clients: Engagement, excellence, edge. As for visual style, Lane4 is all about people: the brilliant team of inspiring individuals who work for the company, and the incredibly diverse range of people whose performance they help to improve. We wanted a look that would strongly reflect what Lane4 do — getting inside people’s heads to inspire them, change their thinking, and help them achieve their potential. To that end, we created a library of hand drawn graphic silhouettes, using the actual profiles of every member of the Lane4 organisation — celebrating the individuals, at the same time as highlighting collaboration. This silhouette device is not just powerfully distinctive but also highly versatile, capable of adding warmth humanity to all kinds of communications, from visuals conveying abstract thought to charts and diagrams.
