Describe the brief from the client

edding celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010. To mark the occasion, we were asked to design a brand book for fans and business partners which would tell the company’s story in typical edding style.



Describe the challenges and key objectives

The challenge was to illustrate the core brand values “long-lasting”, “colourful” and “self-expression” in an authentic manner. At the same time, the solution had to combine surprising insights into the company with interesting anecdotes from the brand’s history in lively and realistic fashion.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

Due to the countless different things that edding marker pens can be used for, there were no limits to our creative approach, but it was particularly important to depict the worlds where the markers are used in a tactile and authentic manner. We then linked these creative worlds together – with a single continuous line from an edding marker.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

edding was delighted with the positive response and the consolidation of numerous contacts. Because the limited print run was so successful, the brand book was subsequently made available online in the form of a downloadable PDF.
