The Letter D.

GRE / Name & Identity / 05.11.2009

A sustainable property services business approached The Letter D to develop a launch identity, website and collateral suite.

In collaboration with Al et al, a new name was developed to convey the idea of donning our ‘green’ hats when considering ways to make our buildings more comfortable and efficient.

MSA / Identity Refresh / 13.08.2009

Multi Span Australia, the parent company of the newly launched Carter Hood Architects, asked The Letter D to update their website inline with the practice’s collateral design.

We took the opportunity to leverage the evolution of the business with a refreshed identity, allowing the practice identity to stand proud alongside the parent’s identity.

Given the equity in the name and existing green and gold colour palette, a light yet considered update was undertaken, balancing the symbol’s elements and type treatment.

AMS / Teaser Website / 11.08.2009

A small group of Sydney gallerists have banded together to organise a month of events, talks, exhibitions and tours to be known as Art Month Sydney, commencing in March 2010.

The Letter D was asked to develop the website, web-based mailout campaign and associated collateral for the initiative, including a Twitter theme and teaser site, which went live in time for the soft launch.

An initial flip-card identity style by Hayman Design was developed further to convey a calendar month, along with a completed alphabet to display within the flip-system.

Queensland’s largest embroiderer Doree, who started out as a small mending business in 1934, asked The Letter D to refresh their identity in time for their 75th Anniversary.

Queensland Veterinary Specialists asked The Letter D to develop an invitation for their upcoming conference series.

We took it a little further, adapting the existing graphic elements into a stand-alone identity for the conference, with projection screens, program formatting and variable text printing, allowing each attendee to have their own personalised package.
