Sub-brands system

Brand architecture · Design system · Accessibility

Summary

I created a structured sub-brand system to resolve a fragmented visual identity across the organisation, transforming disconnected, independently created logos into a cohesive, scalable brand architecture.


Role

I defined the sub-brand strategy, designed identity systems, and implemented a scalable framework across networks and campaigns.

​

Deliverables

Sub-brand identity system, logo suites (horizontal, vertical, icon), campaign assets, Staffroom and intranet visuals, presentation templates, and clear usage guidance for teams.

​

Challenge

The organisation’s visual identity had become increasingly fragmented:

  • Sub-brands were created independently, with no clear structure or governance

  • Logos often looked like standalone brands, with little or no connection to the Trust

  • No defined criteria for who should have a sub-brand or why

  • Inconsistent visual quality, leading to a lack of clarity and credibility

This resulted in a visually dysfunctional landscape, where it was often unclear whether a service, network or initiative was part of the Trust or external to it.

Summary

I led the redesign of the Trust’s brand, transforming an inconsistent and limited identity into a flexible, accessible system used across all communications.


Role

Sole designer. Owned visual direction, system, guidelines and rollout


Scope

Brand identity, templates (Word/Canva), campaigns, social, print, intranet

​​Solution

I developed a strategic sub-brand framework to restore clarity and consistency:

  • Defined a clear brand hierarchy

  • Reconnected sub-brands to the core identity

  • Built a flexible identity system

​

Outcome

  • Transformed a fragmented visual landscape into a cohesive brand ecosystem

  • Clearer recognition of Trust-owned initiatives and networks

  • Introduced structure and governance, reducing unnecessary logo creation

  • Scalable system enabling future sub-brands without diluting the core identity

  • Improved professionalism, clarity and trust across internal and external communications
