Coutts is one big family in its heritage-led rebrand

It’s the first rebrand in ten years for the private bank, and happens in a much-changed financial landscape. Fintech companies such as Monzo have ditched the sober branding usually associated with money, and embraced a more playful look and tone of voice, which has seen more traditional banks scrambling to catch up.

So it’s interesting to see Coutts take a different tack. Instead of adopting a similarly conversational tone of voice, FutureBrand has focused on the bank’s 325-year history. The studio went back to the principles of Thomas Coutts, who apparently founded the company with ideas of maintaining a close relationship with, and an understanding of, its clients.

FutureBrand has taken a similarly personal approach to Coutts’ rebrand, focusing on individual stories of people, portraits of the ‘extended family’, and a warmer, more welcoming tone of voice that positions the bank as a kind of home.

FutureBrand hasn’t explained exactly why now was the time for Coutts to change up its branding, but the subtext is perhaps the encroaching influence of younger, more digital-led companies. The studio does report that the updated identity has helped boost perceptions of the bank as more ‘caring’, ‘modern’ and ‘innovative’.

All that said, Coutts is clearly appealing to a particular niche, so perhaps the strategy here is to emphasise the personal nature of that relationship rather than compete with others. Either way, FutureBrand has made an elegant job of it – creating an identity that feels more contemporary, but maintains the hundreds of years of heritage Coutts has built up.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organizes

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
