Vitabiotics distributes popular brands such as Wellman, Perfectil and Pregnacare in more than 100 territories, building a £300m enterprise in the last decade alone. Wellman is the UK’s number one supplements brand with a mission to ’live life well’ and also caters for women, teens, children and babies (through affiliated ‘well’ brands).

SPAR

Having grown up visiting SPAR stores in the UK and also passing at least four of their stores on my daily commute, I have often pondered how I would change this brand whilst sat in traffic. Surprisingly the current type mark first appeared in 1968 and remains relatively unchanged 52 years later. This type style although innovative at the time hasn’t aged well and looks very dated. It feels more like a 1960s vision of the future, more akin to NASA than a 21st-century convenience store. The red block seems awkward and unnecessary, and the tree motif is badly proportioned and spaced.

GoPro

GoPro is the top of the range market leader in action cameras, it frees people to celebrate the moment and inspires others to do the same. Our refresh cleans up the current brandmark that includes a simple camera/recording symbol that captures the essence of a GoPro. The end 'O' sits as a devise to simply capture life as you live it and share the experience.

Manchester United FC

Over the last few years many clubs have evolved their crest in an attempt to simplify the motif for use in the digital age. One of the more recent and high profile changes was Juventus one of the all-time greats of Italian football.

Panini

Panini is a legendary brand most male adults will remember from our childhood obsessions with football stickers. However, the brand mark remains relatively unchanged for decades. The logo and colour palette is tired and doesn't reflect or appeal to the fanbase of modern sports.

Wikipedia

As the world’s most popular collaborative digital encyclopaedia, Wikipedia is a house-hold name, and should feel like one. The original logo (designed in 2003 and subsequently refreshed) features a jigsaw piece globe and a classic serif typeface, but arguably lacks the modernity and presence of a digital giant.

Lufthansa

Lufthansa is a long established brand in the aviation sector and has a well-recognised identity in the eyes of the consumer. However, the logo looks dated and doesn't function well across modern media channels.

Enterprise

This is a brandmark that has frustrated us for a while. The use of the e motif replacing the e in enterprise looks clunky and really awkward. The stretched typeface and the bad spacing add to the dated and uncomfortable feel.

KLM

Although the KLM mark is a undoubtable classic, it is looking tired and is in desperate need of a refresh. What we have attempted to do here (in 60 mins remember), is to improve the spacing between the individual elements within the crown to prevent it optically 'filling in' at smaller sizes on screen and in print.
