Woodsmith Foundation rebrand concepts

Some of the original concepts from a proposed rebrand for the Woodsmith Foundation charity – the central theme was that, for the Foundation, "people are at the centre of everything we do". In this case, I placed them, quite literally, in the middle of the logo.

In the first round there was a lot of work around a new illustration-led approach that could be used on bold, flat, graphic backgrounds, or overlaid on photographic backgrounds showing real life locations within the Foundations area of interest.

Unfortunately they pivoted in a different direction so these were never used.

“Simon's work is fantastic and really engaging. His quirky style is absolutely what our project needed. He is always very professional and listens to exactly what you need. The work that he does is excellent and of a really high quality… thanks Simon, we couldn’t have done it without you!”
