Taking Wales to the world

Wales Week

Branding Web Design

Brief

Wales Week London is an annual showcase of activities and events that celebrate and promote everything that's great about Wales. Now in its third year, it was felt that a fresh brand direction was needed.

Outcome

We evolved all aspects of the brand from the logo and design style, through to collateral and the website. Creating a brand system that was flexible enough to connect Wales Week to the world.

As part of the brand evolution, we designed a new website with events at the centre. The website, which uses Craft CMS to manage the content has been designed to act as a live information source during the events, and as an archive of past events.

Engagement is vital to the success of the Wales Week brand, so we designed resources and collateral for Welsh organisations around the world to use to show their support.
