Rebrand for award-winning PR agency Midnight

  • Charlotte Delmonte

Midnight are an award-winning PR agency based in Brighton. They approached me to rebrand their business and focus on being less corporate and more contemporary boutique agency. They felt their previous brand logo lacked creative flair and personality. The chosen logo design includes a speech bubble graphic which is an iconic and universal symbol for communication. The speech bubble shape can be used as a graphic device for holding text and images, and can be used across the brand elements to build a strong personality. The typeface is contemporary and uppercase gives a feeling of authority. The word and graphic intersecting creates interest, along with a bold colour palette. The business card design needed to more impact, so we decided on a bright white premium paper stock to set off the cyan and magenta colour palette. The speech bubble was slightly debossed with a metallic magenta foil, which changes when it catches the light. On the reverse we went for a linear texture to give a tactile feel and to create a contrast with the front. “We really enjoyed working with Charlotte during the process of our re-brand. From the very beginning, we felt that she understood the personality we wanted to portray in every aspect of the material she designed for us. We would always be happy to recommend her as a designer”. Sally Scott, Midnight
