About Bank of England Визуальная идентичность
Дизайн для центрального банка означает поиск баланса между технической и конфиденциальной информацией, материалами, подготовленными сотрудниками, увлекательными общими коммуникациями и рядом нормативных требований. Это непросто реализовать, учитывая тонкую внутреннюю динамику. Новая идентичность была разработана совместно с теми, кто будет её использовать, с учётом баланса всех аспектов коммуникации. Она нацелена на охват более широкой аудитории благодаря доступному, актуальному, структурированному и отличительному подходу. Эти ключевые принципы легли в основу дизайнерского направления для всех визуальных активов.

- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was to define an effective balance between accessible contents, very technical and sensitive information, staff-led outputs, chart design, and engaging general communications.
The project has been entirely managed in-house, to get the opportunity to involve wider staff in delicate aspects of the design process. This approach has guaranteed the simplification and optimisation of the design process. - Research
- The most effective way for the Bank to be understood lies in the accessibility aspect. The content the Bank produces is very technical, and difficult to understand. Sometimes even for a trained audience.
Accessibility experts have been involved at different stages. They've contributed to the definition of a creative strategy and a design solution that improves the readability of the Bank contents, especially regarding charts. - Inspiration
- The Bank of England has recently embraced new forms of communicating. Its vision is to be open, inclusive, and straightforward to reach a wider audience. However, it is hard to conjugate staff-led technical outputs and general communications in a manner that the visuals meet the vision consistently.
To solve that, the visual identity has been brought more in line with the Bank's values, purpose, and mission to get closer to the public it serves. - Project Duration
- The project started in 2020 during the pandemic, and it has been entirely done remotely. This has facilitated interaction with all relevant teams.
It has been published on 3 March 2022. - Operation Flow
- The new visual identity system has been designed in collaboration with Bank of England staff. This has greatly benefited the effectiveness of the design outputs.
Logo, colours, and typography has been designed to be relevant, distinctive, and accessible, especially for colour-blind people and people with dyslexia.
A comprehensive online brand portal has been created for staff and designers to use.
The Bank produces thousands of charts every year, therefore a one-size-fits-all template for the charts has been designed.
A new CSS has been introduced to enhance accessibility. - Patents
