House of Commons Given New Visual Identity by SomeOne

By Editor July 30, 2019

Categories: Government

Branding agency SomeOne has overhauled the identity system for the UK’s House of Commons.

The old visual identity was produced back in 2009, with a focus primarily on traditional printed publications and stationery.

Other touchpoints, for example, procedural documents, signage, commercial or, importantly, digital applications – such as social media, apps or external sites – went largely unaddressed.

The design system had therefore become “inefficient” and its management “complex and challenging”, according to SomeOne.

In contrast, the refreshed identity is claimed to be more digital-friendly and features a trio of portcullis designs, as well as a new typeface – dubbed “National” – that supports an adaptable wordmark system.

A new colour system has also been deployed, with the famous core green getting an update in order “to improve the contrast of elements and legibility of type in all formats”.

“The operating system we’ve developed for the House of Commons remains respectful of the past while welcoming current and future demands. Surrounding the central design elements are new aspects created to build greater engagement with the public and help them to stay in touch with the parliamentary landscape,” explains SomeOne’s design director, Cosmo Jameson.

“More traditional views of branding would have us believe we only need to rubberstamp a logo on things. The House of Commons has embraced a far more progressive approach in the development of a full suite of assets and behaviours. This has made it a more complex project, but a better and more long-lasting outcome,” adds Beth Baines, SomeOne’s senior account manager.

This latest project follows on from SomeOne’s redesign of the UK Parliament logo last year.

The more information, the better.

  • Provide large-sized images showing your design in lots of detail, saved at 150 or 300 dpi in JPEG (preferred) or PNG format
  • Include the ‘design story’ text document, not forgetting to list relevant categories and tags
  • Enclose the above in a single zip/rar file and send to: submissions [at] logo-designer [dot] co
  • You can submit more than one logo design; however, the limit is one submission per month
  • Be patient (it may be a while before we feature or publish your work).

OTHER CONTENT:

As well as logos, we’ll also consider the following for publication:

  • Font design
  • Icon design
  • Articles: opinion/advice (from both logo designers and brand strategy consultants).
