By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Nabarro 125 London Wall interiors branding black and white styling stair detail. A chance to create a total branded environment. We’ve worked with international commercial law firm Nabarro LLP for nearly 10 years. Over that period, we’ve helped them develop a distinctive positioning (reflected in their strapline Clarity Matters), and a a powerful monochrome-based visual identity. So when they told us they were moving their London headquarters to a prestigious new address in the heart of the City, we saw a fantastic opportunity to create a total branded environment; a new home that would bring the firm’s values and personality to life, at every level. Making full use of a flexible brand system. Working closely with interior design specialists TP bennett, we worked with them to create a scheme for the entire building. An early concern was that our black-and-white brand identity could look a bit stark, on such a big scale. But the brand system developed by Neon proved up to the challenge, enabling us to introduce a number of other elements to soften and “humanise” the look and feel of the new building. For example, we saw the impressive double height walls as the perfect place for dazzling flocks of birds, in Nabarro’s origami visual style. And the lift lobbies – where employees and visitors would have a little time to linger and enjoy the view – presented us with an even more enticing creative opportunity. For one, we created a gallery of great buildings of the world, also in origami. For another, we laid every image from our extensive brand library on a powerful black background. For yet another, we challenged lift-users with our campaign of brain-teasing typographic conundrums. While, on the fourteenth floor, we conducted a fascinating in-depth investigation into the number 14… Brand achitecture, in a literal sense. Architecturally, without a doubt the most impressive feature of Nabarro’s new home was the stunning – and strongly branded – steel and marble spiral staircase, to accommodate which it was necessary to remodel the building, drilling through 15 floors. Worth it, though, we think you’ll agree? One other rather lovely feature deserving a mention; the 25 foot wall in the canteen and break-out area. Our idea: to use it, in keeping with the black and white theme, with a giant blackboard highlighting to Nabarros staff the facts and figures of the work require to create their amazing new office spaces – and a competition inviting the firm’s people to submit ideas for us to bring to visually to life in chalk. We’re pleased to say that Nabarro love their new home. And their clients have also responded very positively indeed. Since we started working with the firm, their commitment to establishing a clearly defined positioning and identity has given them a clear edge over their competitors. Now they’ve raised the bar again; this time, not by building a brand, but by branding a building. Idea, art direction and design by Neon Design & Branding Consultancy www.neon-creative.com

Action for Children National Children’s Hour 'When the big hand reaches for the little hand'. Action for Children the UK children's charity were to launch a new campaign about raising the awareness of the huge need and value to children (through extensive research) of having a least an hour a day play and interaction and activities with their parents or guardians. They needed an identity to help promote the campaign and ideally strike a chord with parents and guardians about the value and importance of this hour to children.The solution? The approach was to create a typographic mark, using the Action for Children red, that indicated the one hour a day with the clockface integrated within the O of the word hour - with the hands subtly inferring an adult with the big hand on the clock and a child peeking out from behind as the little hand on the clock.To add an emotive element to the mark it was married with a play on words with our line “When the big hand reaches for the little hand” to help makethe connection between parent and child. The typographic styling a wood print styling to help reflect the hands on nature of some of the children’s actives hand made printing etc. and to help it feel less corporate. The new mark has helped strongly brand the campaign, in promotional pledge posters,literature for activities for parents and children to try at home, regional after school kids hour events and TV and social media.

By Dana Robertson Creative Director and Founder of Neon. Natalia Schroder is an up and coming jewellery designer, whose work has appeared in Vogue and other heavyweight fashion publications. Natalia approached Neon on recommendation to create her new brand identity that would make a elegant impact in the luxury goods market. We elegantly combined Natalia’s initials into a unique monogram, designed to work at a very small sizes, so that it could be used as her ‘maker’s mark’ alongside the hallmarks stamped into her jewellery. The detailing from the monogram carried through onto the refined but strong logotype typography. The colour palette, we used a simple yet sophisticated black and white, with a graphic stripe detail, taken from the feel of the monogram, to be used in packaging, ribbons, tissue wraps and end-paper detailing.
