We have partnered with St. Paul’s School for over twenty years, creating everything from the school’s logo and full branding suite to its fundraising campaigns and strategic planning materials—a testament to its structure and flexibility over all these years.
For the 2015 Annual Report, we focused on the donors and their past contributions that made a difference to the school. Over 400 students from all grades wrote thank-you letters describing how the donations improved their experiences. The handwritten messages were reproduced throughout the printed annual report while each mailed report contained one of the original letters for an even more personal touch.

Looking to broaden its appeal as a desirable and modern snacking brand, and reinstate its iconic status, in an increasingly competitive and changing world of savoury snacks, Jacob’s challenged Pearlfisher to create a contemporary visual identity.
Our impactful big idea - “Baked in” - celebrates and honours Jacob’s baking expertise and heritage and inspired our approach to the redesign - taking the emotion of baking into snacking to build a contemporary interpretation of the great story of Jacob’s.
By amplifying the brand’s most-recognised and loved equities to create a modern, vibrant and robust visual identity - and the creation of a new geometric pattern of crackers to form a wall of Jacob’s on shelf – we are building greater recognition and reinforcing brand equity and stand-out or the future of one of Britain’s most-loved and iconic brands.

ChallengeBoConcept — a global retailer with 300 stores in 60 countries — came to us with a business mission that focused on growth. To help them take the necessary leaps, our brand strategy and brand experience work set to define a position that would distinguish the Danish furniture retailer from the competition – fueling the growth they were after.
SolutionDefining a distinct brand position was the starting point of our work to support BoConcept’s sustainable growth. The position needed to differentiate the brand, while also staying true to its Danish heritage and aesthetic roots. Based on target audience and market insights, we crafted a customer promise together with BoConcept that became the epicenter of the brand experience.
The promise, Encouraging Cosmopolitan Living, became an essential part in driving the company’s transition from focusing on product to focusing on becoming an enabler of a lifestyle. This was then further elaborated into the brand experience with a new tonality and visual direction that added a lifestyle dimension to communication initiatives and a directional idea, ‘From Denmark. To The World’ which served as a creative brief for how to execute the new brand strategy in communication efforts with a heavy focus on providing customers with inspirational content. Implementing the brand experience was taking just as seriously in internal efforts, with the brand strategy playing a central role in the development of the company’s new corporate values, focusing on enabling a customer-centric and high-performance culture.

The BriefWe were briefed to create the packaging for a new range of premium tonic water for two friends and entrepreneurs, Matt and Jordan.
The brief was to create a range of packaging that is gender neutral to appeal to a mass market. It was also important that we communicated the unique flavours made from natural extracts and no artificial ingredients.Our ApproachDuring a stage of Brand Positioning we identified that this product is “More than just a mixer”. Lixir is perfect for any occasion as well as any drink. The unique flavours can be mixed with anything from wine, rum, vodka to fruit juice or simply enjoyed on its own.The ResultLixir, a play of the word Elixir, is a range of new and exciting flavour tonic waters made from natural extracts with no artificial colours so it was important to have clear bottles and transparent labels.The ‘X’ cleverly plays on the suggestion of a ‘secret ingredient’ and is a strong band beacon for shelf stand-out.
The delicate swirl illustrations represent the fusion of the unique flavours. This understated design perfectly positions Lixir as a unique and premium brand.Read more here http://www.slicedesign.co.uk/lixir-tonic-water/

The Challenge
Despite its reputation among clients as a premiere digital solutions agency, many decision makers visiting the agency website viewed the company as a commodity development agency. As a result, the company was frequently offered low value development work with low margins.

Our Approach
In order to position the client as a provider of premier digital services and solutions, we took the following steps:

• Analyzed popular search terms of the company's target audience and created original content that attracted decision makers.


• Overhauled existing web copy, adding the relevant services and solutions which were missing from their current website.


• Redesigned the new website experience to adhere to the best B2B design practices.

The Results

• Improved the company's findability and SEO rankings.


• Increased qualified sales leads.


• Drove incremental sales through new service offerings.

In this award-winning activation, McDonald’s tapped a team of all-stars including NEXT/NOW to create a brand virtual reality sports experience for the hundreds of thousands of NASCAR fans during the 2016 Sprint Cup Series. While the races were exciting, the real game-changer was NEXT/NOW’s one-of-a-kind Brand Virtually Reality sports game on the (not yet publicly available) HTC Vive. Fans put on the headset and were transported into the excitement of a virtual NASCAR pit stop where Jamie McMurray, driver of the McDonald’s #1 Chevy SS, instructs them to become part of the team by changing the driver’s side tires in a race against time. Using the HTC Vive hand paddles, users see the race car scream to a stop, then rush to change the front and rear tires. The user then hands Jamie a Big Mac and sends him back out on to the track. Finally, the user receives an email sharable with their pit stop time, which they surely use for bragging rights.
NEXT/NOW went all out with the production of this game to capture every detail including a video shoot of Jamie McMurray and recording sound effects from a real-life pit stop. We used a Hollywood-level motion capture program to create the animations of the virtual pit crew and wrapped it up in a Brand Virtual Reality sports package that wowed fans.

The oldest Kyiv retailer Karavan mall with Brain Tank agency “released” aggressive shoes all over the city, drawing attention to a large-scale re-branding into the outlet.
Autumn flight tames "biting" prices, personified by "evil" shoes, accessories and clothes, showing them much more "affectionate", announcing the upcoming opening of the Mall. While the teaser flyer relied on the horror of a frightening grin on the teeth of a sneaker, the autumn disclosure filled the info-ecosystem of shoppers with positively bright colors and good-natured facial expressions.
And while “Outlet Karavan” is carrying out construction work inside the mall at an accelerated pace, Brain Tank is preparing to place two more platform flights to bring all the benefits of the re-conceptual Mall.

IONDESIGN designs the packaging for the olive oil "il circolo" from the south of Italy. The label picks up the annual rings of the Sicilian olive trees, which also appear in the name of the oil. Both the packaging of the 500ml bottle and the 3L canister emphasize the exquisite quality of the natural product. By reinvesting the proceeds from the sale of the oil, the region around the Italian Noto is strengthened. The aim of the producers is the sustainable and social production of excellent, organic olive oil - these characteristics are recognizable in the packaging. The dark green glass of the bottle provides an elegant background for the deep black label with gold stamping. The eponymous annual rings of the olive tree are executed in partial varnish give the label a silky sheen.

To develop nēdl’s MVP, Distillery assembled and placed a small-but-mighty team of proven experts consisting of the following professionals:

• Lead QA engineer


• Full stack developer


• Project manager


• Technical advisor

Jason Medeiros, nēdl’s CTO, led our team and spearheaded the MVP development project. We started by providing several months of development assistance. We began with the necessary infrastructure setup, then moved on to setting up the application’s backend of nēdl’s own Amazon Web Services (AWS) server. Next, we created the appropriate intents for handling users’ spoken commands and configuring the intents’ handlers for the app.
After that, we integrated APIs of AWS, Audials and Elasticsearch to extend the scan by song, artist and keywords functions, all of which were pivotal to launching a market viable product.
Then, we continued work on the backend server, setting strict criteria for it. The server must:

• Receive a stream of user speech and convert it to text using automatic speech recognition software


• Store that text in a search index


• Provide a search API that supports the Amazon Alexa skill

The last piece of the puzzle: creating a nēdl API that performed search against the search index and integrating that API to play the stream.
Finally, after rigorous testing, nēdl was ready to launch.

Meals
We designed an intuitive, bright and exciting recipe app to help users find recipes based on their diet and preferences.
Meals has since gone on to be featured in the App Store several times, including as App of the Day.

Research




We conducted research into the app’s target market and competitors. This helped us gain valuable insights into what users loved and what they were missing from similar apps.
For Meals, we discovered that although there are many recipes apps out there, a lot of the time they’re difficult to navigate, don’t offer enough options, or don’t have a pleasing UI.

Flows & wireframes




We defined the main flow through the app screens and the journey each user would take to complete a task through the barebones User Flows.
Then, we moved on to the Wireframes. The wireframes are more detailed than the flows and show where each element will go. This is the stage where we play around with the layout and figure out how to best set up the app to optimize conversion rates.




Final designs


After the wireframes, we formed and polished the visual style of the app. We created delightful graphics, picked out the perfect color scheme, and made sure the overall app appearance was cohesive.
The goal with Meals was to create something bright and beautiful, without being overwhelming or childish. This was accomplished through vibrant colours, rounded corners, drop shadows and cartoony graphics.

After the main UI was complete, we created the app logo and App Store screenshots.
