Development of a wide range of projects for Downing College reinforces their brand

Providing a joined-up feel to College communications

We have worked with the College on a wide range of projects to maximise the commercial operations of the College, but not compromise the academic feel of the institution.

Over the years we have developed:

• an elegant wayfinding and mapping system
• designs for printed literature, books and leaflets
• a redesign of the College shield, and provided marque and stationery guidelines
• design of the college’s conference services brochure
• a re-design of the way the College communicates its accounts

Downing also uses our Menu Generator program to great effect at dinners, banquets and everyday lunches. These projects combine to provide joined-up feel to College comunication material, helping to provide an unforgettable experience for students and visitors.

Quinlan Terry’s green theatre and Quentin Blake’s green griffin

More recently, the College commissioned Quinlan Terry to design a low-energy theatre, modelled on the famous Georgian Theatre in Richmond. The new theatre is a great success, and we were involved in providing the theatre wayfinding and statutory sign system, as well as working with illustrator and College alumni Quentin Blake's ‘Green Griffin’ which is to be the College's green credential stamp.
