Rebranding & Extensions

A branding studio that teaches students to analyse existing narratives and propose credible new directions.

Students analyse existing brands and recommend either a rebrand or extension grounded in narrative, associations and identity.

01

Reading the existing brand

The work begins by identifying the narratives, associations and visual signals already carried by an established identity.

02

Choosing the intervention

Students decide whether the opportunity calls for a focused extension or a more fundamental rebrand.

03

Reframing the story

A revised proposition gives each visual decision a clearer strategic reason to exist.

04

Building the language

Typography, colour and composition are developed as connected parts of the new direction.

05

Testing applications

Mockups reveal whether the identity remains recognisable as format, scale and audience change.

06

Extending the system

Additional touchpoints explore how the central idea can support new experiences without losing coherence.

07

Presenting the case

The final outcome brings analysis, rationale and application together as an evidence-led brand recommendation.
