NUS CNM Rebranding

CNM Logo w BG-19.png
I proposed a new brand for National University of Singapore's Department of Communications and New Media (CNM) — one that is more vibrant and versatile yet reflective of the Department's core values. The Department is unique in its approach to synthesise traditional communications studies with emerging media and technology.
 
I began my process of creating a brand for CNM by identifying the key message that the Department wishes to convey to its audience. Thereafter, I tied in this message throughout the brand and its applications such that at every touchpoint, the audience can be reminded of CNM’s identity. I also intentionally employed an abstract representation of the brand instead of a concrete one, given the versatility of CNM (e.g. journalism, PR, graphic design, web design etc.) that cannot be reduced into a single concrete representation.

The logo is composed of a custom shape which I term 'the Signature C,' which can be manipulated to form the acronym of the Department's name. The letterform logo is also represented in various vibrant colours reminiscent of CMYK, echoing colours used for printed media, a significant aspect of communications studies.

Business Card

I proposed a one-of-a-kind unique business card that would remind every recipient of the card of the Department's signature shape, complete with playful drawings incorporated into the icons that would emphasise the Department's out-of-the-box creativity.

Posters

I created three unique posters that utilise the Brand's unique aesthetic direction. These posters are potential admissions posters to be used to attract future students.
