New book: Identity Designed

“Identity Designed: The Definitive Guide to Visual Branding” contains case studies from 16 different studios around the world. It uses a single project from each studio to explore the process of developing an effective brand identity. For our own 16-page chapter David asked us to talk about our work for new hyperfast broadband provider Grain.

“It’s been an honour to showcase Believe in, having respected and admired the quality of their work for many years. Finding such in-depth insights into how studios work with their clients is quite a rarity, and despite running my own design business since 2005 I’ve learned an incredible amount from the creation of this book.”
