2Telegraph Media Group
YEAR COMPLETED: 2020/21, CATEGORIES: IDENTITY, TYPOGRAPHY, DESIGN SYSTEM
MEDIA AND FORMAT: VARIOUS
INFO
Art direction and design for the company logotye rebrand. The need was to distinguish the company (Group) from the Newspaper (editorial) side. Telegrah Media Group does in fact include also, but not only, The Daily Telegraph and this was leading to confusion on different circumstances.
SOLUTION: We opted for a logotype embracing all the tradition and britishness of the Telegraph keeping with its serifs a link with the Newspaper identity. The new logotype takes inspiration from both the company history and visual heritage and from the city where it’s based, London. With references coming from both a lettering created by Percy J. Delf Smith for the building at 55 Broadway and the London Tube signage (old ‘Way Out’ and stations’ names), the new logotype typeface has classical proportions with slight serifs coming from the iconic Telegraph diamond to create a visual link with the newspaper and to work as part of the same family.
