Chart Design Studio

As Moira would say — It’s my favourite season of all, awards season! 🏆 Delighted to have three projects shortlisted for this year's IDI Awards. David Williams and Co — New Branding Scheme Design Declares Ireland Playbook — Editorial and Print Design Special Olympics: Novie Knows Podcast Identity — Typography and Lettering   Thanks to the IDIs and the judges in getting us this far.  Looking forward to the big night in the RDS on November 20th. 🎉

Earlier this year we worked with David Williams and the team at DW&Co Architects to evolve their name and design their new identity system. Finally, the case study is ready to share with the world. 👇 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eUn9HeBm Thanks to David for the kind words on the project process and final result: “Chart brought us through the process of overhauling our brand positioning, name, and identity, and we are delighted with the results. Feedback from clients and collaborators has been excellent but most importantly it has refreshed our focus and increased our confidence in our business. It enables us to present ourselves exactly how we wish to be perceived. Chart led us on a clear, step by step process of discovery and design - full of ideas and insights, with patience and good humour. Working with Chart has been energising and has given us a stable foundation on which to grow. I can't recommend them highly enough.” ... Special mention to Cian Ryan for the motion graphics and making this shine.

Last week Special Olympics launched the first episode of Novie Knows – a new podcast from their Inclusion Revolution Radio series. Working with Special Olympics earlier this year, we designed the new identity for the podcast with a standout look and feel. The creative vision: capture the playful, dynamic energy of host and athlete Novie Craven, reflecting her vibrant personality throughout the brand. We designed the logo and custom typeface along with illustrating the Novie character and supporting graphic shapes and expressive motion graphics that brought the brand to life across video and social content. We created merchandise, apparel, and a suite of tools and templates to help the podcast team activate the new identity with consistency and confidence. “The new identity creatively defined Novie’s character and gave the podcast a bold and cohesive voice that truly reflected the athlete led energy and Novie’s authentic voice. Our content, our story, and our vibe were all speaking the same visual language. The work didn’t just elevate the podcast—it empowered us to grow it with confidence.” Nadine Afiouni Special Olympics International, VP of Design and Global Brand
