ID&B is a brand strategy and brand identity design studio in Cape Town, South Africa. This is a small selection of our work, which we hope you will enjoy! ID&B puts the success of client business at the front and centre of our process, from strategy to concept to creation of brand assets. Without a clearly defined business goal and proposition even the most beautifully conceptualised and executed creative work will serve little purpose in terms of being a strategic asset with value to the company it visually represents. Our strategic process is based in pragmatism and fact and our creative process is driven by curiosity and meaning. We nurture originality and brave imaginations, explore, investigate and debate the underlying principles and we challenge form, colour, weight, space, counter-space, and more. When the exploratory phase is done and dusted we are non-compromising on our approach on the value we attach to classic training in the skill and craft of all design work we do. With over 20 years’ experience in strategic, creative visual communications, we offer our clients turnkey expertise in graphic design, strategic branding and marketing. We have worked for companies in the USA, Canada, China, the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, the Middle East and Africa. It has also facilitated the development of seamless, scalable methods of managing long distance projects efficiently and on deadline. We work across all sectors and have experience in fields as diverse as technology, energy and industry through to retail, hospitality, FMCG, liquor and beverages, wellness, healthcare and philanthropic foundations.
