Describe the brief from the client
To help them re-brand an entire profession, we were asked to develop a logo and a brand identity experience for the new Queen Elizabeth Prize for engineering.
Describe the challenges and key objectives
We needed to tell a story that would resonate as strongly with the engineering establishment as it would with a 17 year-old girl considering her career options. It needed to get people thinking differently about engineering, to re-energise its community as well as exciting young people.
Describe how you arrived at the final design
We unleashed engineering’s hidden wonders. Our daily lives are scattered with amazing feats of engineering and technologies, all designed to save us energy, time and money. Using the Capital E as an abstract form, we created intrigue and delight, releasing an inspiring and wonderful energy, under our line ‘Create the Future’.
