Case study

Halden Rail: eleven logos down to one

Northbank designers reviewing the Halden Rail identity on screen

Halden Rail runs regional trains across four counties and had, by its own count, eleven logos in use. We spent two weeks on the argument, six on the system and two getting it onto the first carriage.

  • One mark, one typeface and a colour for each line
  • Signage rules a depot manager can follow without us in the room
  • A brand site the in-house team updates themselves

What we do

Four things, done properly

Most projects use two or three of them. We will tell you which, and talk you out of the rest.

Strategy

Positioning, naming and the argument for why anyone should care. Usually two weeks.

Brand

Identity, type, art direction and a system your team can run without us.

Product

Interface design and front-end build, from the first sketch to the day it ships.

Growth

Landing pages, lifecycle email and the measurement to know which worked.

Tell us what you are trying to do

We take on about fourteen projects a year and we are usually booked six weeks out. If the timing does not work we will say so in the first reply rather than the third meeting.
