A bit about the project

We’ve enjoyed working with CCR for years now. So, when they got in touch to discuss plans for a new early talent skills framework, we jumped at the challenge. They needed a new identity for their established graduate scheme to boost engagement with businesses and graduates. Their ambitious plans for the framework include a whole host of specialist programmes, so they enlisted us to design a flexible umbrella brand that could encompass it all.

The logo

First things first, the name. We put our heads together and decided upon ‘Venture’; a memorable brand name that perfectly evokes the ambition of the CCR programmes.  

Armed with the perfect name, we got the ball rolling on designing a sleek logo for the master brand that we could change up to fit each sub-brand. The final family of bilingual logo assets forms the foundation of a truly flexible brand identity that covers all work undertaken by Venture with striking consistency.

The website

When building the website, we wanted to use the distinct sub-identities to make it easy to find out all about Venture’s many activities:

With an easy-to-use admin area, and after a brief training session in our Cardiff studio, the staff at Venture have full control to keep all their opportunities and resources up to date.

Brand guidelines

With a fresh-off-the-press logo package in hand, Venture needed a way to ensure their growing team could use the new identity effectively. We designed a bespoke set of brand guidelines, clearly communicating how to keep their brand consistent in the real world, from colour details for each sub-brand, to sample signatures and suggested imagery.

Social media assets

This new endeavour was a big deal for Venture, so we wanted to make sure they could unveil the project in style. Our designers whipped up a launch graphics package brimming with everything from teaser tweets to LinkedIn ads.

The centrepiece of the package was the slick motion graphic designed to introduce Venture, its sub-brands, and the best bits of the new site. The custom animation was shared all over their new social profiles, creating invaluable buzz for the launch and building a solid foundation of followers.
