Irish telecoms giant Eircom is rebranding as Eir in a move the company says is “the largest brand transformation in Ireland in over 20 years”.

The new Eir identity has been created by Moving Brands, which was appointed to the work following a pitch in February.
Moving Brands has developed a new Eir logo. The consultancy says: “To mirror the new name, the logo conveys lightness and, through its upwards angle, a sense of being uplifted.”

The new identity also uses a bespoke “digital-ready” font, called Eir, which has been developed with type foundry Colophon.

Is making small changes to a logo still effective?

Mike Dempsey, founder, Studio Dempsey


“There are numerous examples of brand logos being so-called ‘refreshed’. Sometimes it’s for very good reasons, e.g. to strengthen and simplify, which helps to make them more visible in an overly-graphic market. There have been many sensitive changes to great logos – Penguin, VW, Texaco, Bell, London Transport, and Coca-Cola are examples. What drives me insane is when perfectly good logos are changed when it is entirely unnecessary and, sadly, mostly for the worse – British Airways and BFI, to name just two. This normally happens when a new head honcho takes over and wants to signal their arrival, and changing the logo is the easiest way to do it.”

The second edition of David Airey’s Logo Design Love contains more of just about everything that made the first edition so great: more case studies, more sketches, more logos, more tips for working with clients, more insider stories, and more practical information for getting the job and getting it done right.

In Logo Design Love, David shows you how to develop an iconic brand identity from start to finish, using client case studies from renowned designers. In the process, he reveals how designers create effective briefs, generate ideas, charge for their work, and collaborate with clients. David not only shares his personal experiences working on identity projects, he also uses the work of many well-known designers such as Paula Scher who designed the logos for Citi and Microsoft Windows, and Lindon Leader, creator of the current FedEx identity, as well as work from leading design studios, including Moving Brands, Pentagram, MetaDesign, Sagmeister & Walsh, and many more.

Elmwood has rebranded the Government-backed urban innovation scheme Future Cities Catapult. The Future Cities Catapult is one of seven specialist Catapult Centres launched by the Technology Strategy Board.

The Future Cities Catapult specialises in creating opportunities for business to improve cities, focusing on improving quality of life, strengthening local economy and protecting the local environment. Elmwood says it was tasked with creating a globally recognised brand identity which communicated what Future Cities Catapult is and what it does, while forming a connection with its target audience – businesses and universities.

As a central set of guidelines already existed for the family of seven Catapults, Elmwood had to create brand expressions which would work in this context.

Heineken is introducing a fresh redesign to its beer cans that dials down the brand’s trademark green to emphasise the aluminium in the hope of appealing to contemporary men.

Heineken has redesigned its cans to appeal to contemporary, city-dwelling men. The new ‘Star Can’ is rolling out to the 170 countries where the beer is sold, with some markets to start selling ahead of the crucial summer sales season. It follows the redesign of Heineken bottles, which launched last year. The new can design appears on all sizes and is already available in travel retail outlets across Western Europe. 



The update, created by Dutch consultancy DBOD, is the first in five years and plays up the can’s aluminum elements to create a more ‘masculine’, ‘thirst-quenching’ look.
