Promoting regional culture: Theater Anoniem

11 months ago By BHAG Design

Strategic concept development, logo and poster design for Theater Anoniem (Anonymous). A Flemish-speaking performance arts companionship that operates on a not-for-profit basis. It stages theatrical productions – as in plays that range from comedy to drama and is based in Antwerp (Belgium). It brings stage productions to everyone who loves to see local artistry taken to another level. Its ambitious performance repertoire has local actors on their toes and since we’ve been designing their new identity and announcement posters, crowds have been flocking to the venues. This is a pro-bono project and we work closely together with various stakeholders such as writers, directors, actors, photographers, digital artists, and printers to get our message out there.

A simple but compelling brief

2 years ago By BHAG Design

The Corporate Identity brief for Wiseware-Micron® — the Denver based microprocessor assembly & sales startup for SMEs (supported and funded by Intel®) — was clearly defined.

Please make sure our name is somehow reflected in the icon; make clear what a processor does (connect, control and distribute information); and above all, make us look professional and trustworthy to decision makers. On top of this, a special wish from CEO Harry Wiseware: to somehow not forget about our local native American Navajo roots.

The finished logo features all of the above and overall, shows a well-balanced interplay between the two letters that surround the square microprocessor in the middle. The identity is versatile in usage and reducible to the smallest possible (chip) size. But most importantly, the logo speaks to the strength and directness needed to be memorable and successful in this highly competitive business sector. (Project development in collaboration with FutureBrand Inc. London UK)

Having created Wiseware Micron’s corporate identity, we turned our attention to their UI/UX site. If we were to enhance their business, we needed to create a site that addressed a multiplicity of end-users, from computer hardware manufacturers to b2b customers. The result is a user experience divided into 6 core markets. Visitors delve seamlessly into their solution-oriented answers, accessing the latest developments in business process optimization.

Your business matters. Can it matter more?

4 years ago By BHAG Design

Developing a brand, as you know, can really help differentiate your company or product. And, as a result, it can make your business more valuable. Between 30 and 40 percent if you’re a B2B and up to 70 percent if you’re Coke or Nike and a B2C. Building your brand requires a consistent investment in a brand idea that is totally relevant to your company or product and that matters a great deal to your target market.

‘Just Do It’ is still as relevant to us as a brand today as it was 23 years ago. In this case: Caster Semenya by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam
