    We are extremely proud to have devised a new brand identity for a property development that will help redefine one of the most recognisable skylines in the world.

    The new identity for St James Quarter, Edinburgh, a retail site acquired by Henderson Global Investors, set for redevelopment until 2014, was evolved over several weeks by the Zebra Crossing team, lead by Luke Hammersley and including work by designers Rory Seaford and Chris Trotman.

    The identity has been rolled into a variety of literature for use with planning applications, consultation processes, press activity and corporate stationary alongside a new content managed website (using Drupal) designed and built by the Zebra Crossing Digital team. See: www.stjamesquarter.info.

    Zebra Crossing were appointed by Henderson’s PR & communications agency Halogen.

    Zebra Crossing Localise Pretty Philips Sites

    Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

    Commissioned by Philips’ agency DDB London, Zebra Crossing has for the past few months been busy localising global sites for two of Philips’ new consumer products, SalonStraightSonic and Wake-up Light.

    We’ve been handling the intricate process of making sure sites in a plethora of languages and countries look good and work as they should. Dealing with copy in many languages and producing local site variations, we’ve worked closely with TribalDDB and the Philips web team to ensure that all code runs faultlessly in a number of different environments.

    Also, our Flex and Flash teams have worked on outdoor animations for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while our designers and developers have built local promotions and data-capture microsites for several countries.

    CIH

    This week saw the launch of the CIH Conference and Housing Exhibition site we created for the Chartered Institute of Housing and their event organisers, Ocean Media Group. The event – taking place in Harrogate this June – boasts a strong line-up of speakers, including Rt. Hon. Michael Portillo, Diane Abbott MP, David Smith – Economics Editor of the Sunday Times and leading US Economist David Shepherdson.
    The CIH is the professional body for people working in housing across the UK and its conference and exhibition is the UK’s ultimate housing event. With Gordon Brown announcing an £8bn investment in housing in his first spending review, the conference will look at how the sector can deliver the government’s objective of decent and affordable housing for all.
    Working closely with our partners at FoxLand, the site was built using WordPress and includes online booking functionality. More exciting functionality will be added to the site as the event draws closer – so watch this space!

    Zebra Crossing were commissioned by the property PR agency Halogen to help devise a new brand identity for ‘The Upper Lee Valley’ a public sector venture to promote development and investment into this area of London, which runs from Liverpool Street, northwards along the Lee Valley, into Hertfordshire.

    Starting with a brand workshop involving representatives from The Mayor’s Office, Halogen and the three London Boroughs, we went on to devise a brand that reflected the landscape of the area as a green corridor, the goals of the organisation and a sense of growth for the future.

    Zebra Crossing design and digital teams then created a  short series of literature to launch the scheme and a website. The project included the commissioning of a series of stunning photographs that showcase the natural beauty of the area, provided by one of our partner suppliers, Joel Anderson Photography.
