PROJECT Brand: EDI at the NMC
Spring worked with the Nursing and Midwifery council to create an identity which would support their campaign around equality, diversity and inclusion. The requirement was for a cohesive overarching brand for the messaging they were providing. Our design for the logo and its application used overlapping circles as its main feature; the intersection points create...

Ask "Why?" to make excellent work
Our focus at Spring is on the impact of our work. So how can we make sure that our creative ideas, design, and communications platforms deliver results? The simple answer is that there is no simple answer. Of course we have a framework, and within the structure there is a myriad of tools at our...

Spring has really helped us to look at things differently, clarify them and shake it all up – the result is marketing materials and campaigning that capture the essence of Bruisyard Country Estate.

A plea for personality
We’ve all got very good at the process of branding, but there’s rumblings of a backlash. It seems that well conceived and rigorously applied brand strategy might, just possibly, be squashing the personality out of things. The word ‘authenticity’ has been bandied about to such a degree that it’s become meaningless. Authenticity, if unearthed without...
