Australia, New Zealand bank or ANZ is a large multinational banking organisation that has a history dating all the way back to 1835 London where it was first created by Royal charter.

 

Situated in the famous Canary wharf, in the heart of the financial district of London, ANZ’s building manager approached us needing help to radically rebrand the businesses 26th floor premises.

 

This was a large-scale office branding project that had over 85 square meters of glass covered using black and white images of Asian skylines.  These glass-meeting rooms were then named after the various cities that the panoramic image portrayed, which gave the space the desired consistent and corporate feel.

 

In another area of the bank we created a custom Asia-centric world map that highlighted ANZ’s key areas of operation. This map came with large location marker pins that allowed the team to place on the map to highlight specific cities that represent something significant.  This style of map was replicated in the canteen, but at a smaller scale to fill a blank wall; carrying the theme throughout the building. On the day of installation we presented the concept of relocating furniture to allow the designs to stand out to their full potential. This space planning advice was taken on board and gave the graphics the space they needed to stand out.

 

The final area that needed our attention was a corridor that lacked the impact the ANZ team had hoped. So, we designed and printed A2 posters, which were then held in acrylic frames. This gave a burst of colour and design, whilst remaining professional and in keeping with the rest of the offices design.

 

The ANZ project was fantastic collaboration of talent and we look forward to working with them again.
