Territory Records

Territory Records is a Dutch Nu-Jazz label that creates, produces and distributes albums for a new generation of jazz lovers in various contemporary music fields. At Territory Records, performing talent gets the opportunity to show what they are capable of. Territory helps them in areas such as composing, producing, arranging and recording music. BHAG Design came up with the naming, developed a logo and started a line of announcement posters with a sleek black and white identity – which quickly became recognizable to the target group the company is trying to reach. Almost all new album releases have their own black and white cover and poster, several of which are available for purchase at tallmanstudio.com. An international art and poster printing company.

Promoting regional culture: Theater Anoniem

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

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.
