It’s a familiar story — there’s a change at the top of an organisation and a rebrand is one of the first things to happen.
But it’s often a backward step, where what follows is no better than what came before, while costing a fortune to implement.
“…the fact that British consultancy North has just done two major schemes for the Tate and the Co-op by either NOT changing the logo, or even reverting to an old and discarded one, is very intriguing. Perhaps the profession is finally growing up enough to recognise that the appointment of a design consultant needn’t always culminate in change.”
— Michael Johnson
Quoted from Michael Johnson’s answers to a series of questions for Branding Roundtable No. 28, on innovating brand identity.
