Truth Creative has provided a branding makeover for a key product in the portfolio of long-standing client Sinclair, supporting the global aesthetics business with the international relaunch of Ellansé.

Cybit’s new name and brand profile unite the expertise and proven legacy of Newcastle-headquartered IT solutions cloud migration and data and analytics specialist, Perfect Image; Berkshire-based IT support provider, Technique; and cyber security specialist, Cyphra in Belfast. The companies previously operated under the holding company, Pixel Group.

A brand is often thought of as a logo.
It’s very true that a logo is an integral part of any brand and should be a badge of honour, but a brand is so much more than this.

A brand is the clothes your organisation wears. It encompasses every single aspect of your operation, and the touch-points of your organisation to both customers and internal teams.

It includes your visual identity, but also how you do business and what you deliver in terms of products, services and most importantly, experience.

As designers, there is always a temptation to design products, spaces, experiences or branding that we would want ourselves and our peers will respect us for. This approach can often lead to beautifully designed solutions that brilliantly solve the wrong problem. The result is a product that has an initial wow factor, but totally misses the mark when it comes to solving the real underlying issues that need to be addressed. Consumers rush to engage or adopt the newly created piece of eye candy, only to be left disappointed or underwhelmed by the dream they were sold. The inevitable backlash from any bad design is often very expensive and sometimes catastrophic and underlines the maxim that bad design is significantly more expensive than good design.
