Tank Design

We are VERY proud to tell that motion graphic gurus Dvein will be main guests at our design workshop Design vs Music.

Dvein is a spanish studio of illustrators, art directors and 3D animators consisting of Fernando Dominguez Valencia, Zaragoza Teo Guillem and Carlos Pardo. Their motion graphics work is a mixture of real and imaginary worlds, both conceptually and technically. The studio started out working for Kyle Cooper (Imaginary Forces), creating titles for Spider-Man 3 and more. Its international recognition, under the name Dvein, came through the creation of jobs like Diesel Liquid Space, and the creation of credits for some of the major festivals of digital art, such as OFFF, F5 and Tocame.

After their success with Mannen som elsket Yngve (“The Man who Loved Yngve”), Motlys are filming the life of Jarle Klepp once again, this time in Bergen where he’s now studying literature. One day a letter arrives from the Police which asks him to take a DNA test…

Tank created the teaser poster, badges and banners for the film festival in Haugesund where film folk and enthusiasts got a sneak preview. The film premieres in February.

Bioteknologinemnda is an independent advisory organisation which considers and discusses fundamental and general questions related to biotechnology and gene technology.

Bioteknologinemnda needed a graphic identity to create a more comprehensive visual presence both online and across printed material, and a flexible visual toolkit to cover all of their communication requirements. Tank has redesigned the visual identity whilst retaining the symbol from the original logo. The symbol has been modernised, and the colours and typography have been simplified to make them more user-friendly. We expanded the identity with a toolbox containing a distinct colour palette, dynamic supporting elements and a set of supporting typography which is suitable for both web and print.

Three annual reports designed by Tank have been chosen for the forthcoming book “Graphis’ 100 Best Annual Reports 2011″. The reports cherry-picked by the jury are Rocksource, Cardinal Foods and IT Fornebu.

This year Tank has designed six annual reports, and here we’re presenting three of them: Entra Eiendom, IT Fornebu and the oil company Rocksource. Many of our clients use the annual report as one of their most important channels of communication, something which the design reflects with extensive use of photoshoots, special production techniques and non-traditional design solutions.

After considering many razor-sharp applicants we have finally chosen a winner. This year Tank’s annual sponsored project, “Design for free”, has been awarded to the environmental foundation Bellona, after awarding the prize to humanitarian organisations for the past two years. We congratulate the winners and look forward to working with a professional and results-oriented foundation which we strongly believe in.

Destination Fornebu is an exhibition centre devoted to the new Statoil building and the beautiful surroundings at Fornebu. Here you can see what the 65,000 square metre building will look like, watch walkthrough videos of the building and get a feel for its overall scale. Using words and pictures the exhibition gives you an insight into life at Fornebu, the environment, the landscape, and a glimpse of Fornebu’s history.

Over at Tank we are proud to have designed the exhibition, a project which has been both demanding and fun.

Cardinal Foods is the second largest distributor of white meat and eggs in Norway. Tank was recruited to design their new website based on the keywords nature, farming, safety and quality.

The ideas of farming and safety are conveyed with earth-toned photographs of close-ups, nature and hands holding the products. Details from the Cardinal Foods identity are used as navigation points and highlights. A rotating slideshow on the homepage creates movement, whilst a clear menu structure makes the site easy to navigate. The website is bilingual, and was developed together with Syzweb CMS.
