King’s Cross Academy
Brand Identity / Copywriting / Print / Art Direction / Website / Signage
As part of the King’s Cross urban regeneration scheme, Argent asked us to create a brand identity for a new primary academy school located within The Plimsoll Building. King’s Cross Academy is a state-of-the-art facility with exceptionally high standards that celebrates the richness and diversity of its location and population. For the logo we referenced the industrial heritage and history of the local area, using the nearby gas holder and canal as icons which helped to root the school in its environment. A key part of the logo was to give it a loose, hand-drawn feel – as if a child had created it. Child-like illustrations were also used over imagery to help express the motto of the school: ‘Love learning together’.
