Our background patterns

Our brand is bursting with movement and style; a lot of


which comes from our iconic backgrounds.

Comprised of letters from our logo, our backgrounds are


uniquely ours, and give our comms a distinctive brand look.

Background patterns - How to create

A series of graphic wallpapers can be created by


deconstructing elements of our logo.

Many patterns and shapes can be formed using this


technique. These linear patterns are reminiscent of the
Art Deco period but with a modern and contemporary
edge. Patterns should be used as backgrounds and
as stylized, decorative elements to artwork.

Patterns can be filled with colour or outlined using a


thin stroke weight as shown in the examples opposite.
