Brief Explanation

Seven privately owned, strategic branding companies representing America, Europe, South Africa, China, Brazil, Turkey and Russia have joined together, each with specialists across all design disciplines and with over 20 years of experience. It uses global reach to create local branding solutions.

The Brief

In September 2015 GLBA's semiannual meeting was organized in Moscow. We needed to create brand identity & posters for the event with a goal to attract local clients' attention to the branding alliance.

How the final design was conceived

The branding conference was to take place in Moscow and we decided to reflect key city symbols in its brand design. The identity of the event provides a helicopter view and shows the city from a new angle of view. We are telling that our city consists of rings and circles; that there is movement, there is circularion, there are marry-go-rounds and bright colors we like so much. The logo supports the main idea of the project. Everything spins in Moscow, everything spins around Moscow.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The results were amazing: the identity of the event was appreciated as GLBA's concept of identity for the Moscow city. Information about the event (together with the posters and GLBA background) was published and discussed in the most popular city newspapers, including Metro. We got free media coverage comparable with a broad-scale advertising campaign. Moreover, journalists, clients and foreign partners liked the identity so much that they made us propose the project to Moscow authorities and make the project live as official identity of Moscow.
