CharityComms - Bowley Design

A brand identity refresh and new website for a membership, events and publishing organisation.

Brand update

For the new visual branding the aim was a modern, interesting and brighter image, with more clarity, calm and friendliness. In short, they wanted to remain professional-looking but needed to modernise without making things complicated. The new logo was developed from the existing one, improving the typography, colour and visual elements without making a big departure from its heritage.

“Delivered over and above our expectations.”
