Bioteknologinemnda

james — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:37:22 +0000

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.

2009 Annual reports

james — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 09:18:13 +0000

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.

Destination Fornebu is now open

james — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:42:06 +0000

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.

Box for Motlys

james — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:42:46 +0000

The task: whilst at the Cannes International Film Festival the film company Motlys needed to have a little information available about their ongoing film projects. The solution: we made a metal box the size of a CD which had the Motlys logo debossed into the lid. The box was filled with cards – one for each film – with the title on the front and more detailed information about the production on the reverse. Behind the cards was a DVD of Reprise by Joachim Trier – a nice giveaway for contacts.

Mack Cider

jens — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:59:38 +0000

The brief: Create a packaging design for Macks first alcoholic cider product. Cider is itself relatively unestablieshed product in Norway. Mack want to take a position as a leader in this market. Solution: The cider is made from pure, natural ingredients and the design is clean, fresh and modern. The quality of the content gets to play a key role with the transparency of the label. Colour coded top distinguish different flavors, along with the colour of the content. In addition, the back label is printed with the same colour code on the inside.

Cardinal Foods 2009 Annual Report

james — Mon, 31 May 2010 14:18:14 +0000

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

We developed a visual direction based around Norwegian nature and the meeting point between products and people. The photographs have an earthy colour palette that works together with the colours of the Cardinal Foods identity. The use of close-ups, nature and hands holding the products convey the idea of farming and safety. A clean and balanced look was achieved by combining generously-spaced photography with the use of strict typography and 100% recycled paper.

Mack Tradisjon

jens — Thu, 06 May 2010 16:55:10 +0000

The brief: The customer wanted a packaging for a series of traditional beers of high quality. The packaging was supposed to reflect the history, culture and pride that is behind the brewing process. Solution: Mack Spesial is a recognizeable series that differs from the typical supermarket beer. The design has, as the beer itself, a touch of history and distinction that appeals to serious consumers, beerconnoseurs. The partly transparent label gives space and attention to the colour and quality of the content.

Høst website

james — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:09:20 +0000

Norsk Jordforbedring AS (Norwegian Earth Improvement Ltd.) are specialists in waste management and the conversion of by-products into products for the green sector. Tank developed the visual identity and the name “Høst – valuable waste Ltd”, and were asked to create a website to match the creative vision of the rebrand.

The visual direction references both nature and technology – it contains earthy colours, small technical details, and a flash menu based on growing roots. The concept “valuable waste” is developed with the use of illustrations and statistics. The website is currently available in two languages and will soon be available in Chinese. Tank worked with Eyego to develop the website. See more at www.valuablewaste.no.

BAR website

james — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:02:13 +0000

Tank wanted to create an identity which champions the child’s perspective, whilst also looking fresh and positive. Using the initials we hand-drew a typographic logo which focuses on compassion and the important network aspect which BAR will offer. The result was a playful yet serious logo, which also reflects diversity in the target audience when combined with the identity’s vibrant color palette.

The website needed to appeal to children and youth whilst also being accessible for public authorities and sponsors. We used hand-drawn lines with rounded corners to build up an organic and inviting visual tone. The dashed lines bring dynamism, whilst the use of consistent columns keeps the design tight. We carried the colour palette through from the identity which gives the website a colorful and friendly look, even though each individual page is tightly structured.

jens — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:17:34 +0000

Brief: The total product range of Mack Breweries is too fragmented and widespread. Create a main series design including the products strongest related to the “mothership”: Mack Pilsner. Solution: We created a streamlined series of products, built on tradition and lifting up the main brand.

ITFornebu.no

james — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:42:57 +0000

Over at Tank we are are very proud to have developed a new website for IT Fornebu. The portal is a focal point for businesses at Fornebu and encourages information sharing and collaboration across the different professional fields it represents. IT Fornebu’s main focus is to promote itself as Norway’s primary address for technology businesses, and the online solution allows its tenants to both promote themselves and contribute their own news articles.

The solution also includes an extensive intranet which serves the the tenants’ needs for general information, canteen ordering, booking meeting rooms, maintenance and more. Tank worked together with Eyego in developing the online solution. See more at www.itfornebu.no.

Høst

james — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:23:37 +0000

Norsk Jordforbedring AS (Norwegian Earth Improvement Ltd.) are specialists in waste management and the conversion of by-products into products for the green sector. The company needed both an identity and a name which could represent all areas of their activities and also be suitable for international marketing. Tank wanted to develop a name and identity to represent a company with great specialist knowledge and drive to innovate, and whose vision is “a living earth”.

We chose to give Høst a powerful, confident and stylish look, with clear contrast between masculine typography and an organic leaf. Both the name and the visual form were inspired by natural cycles and regeneration. We have also developed a the company’s strapline which is “verdien i avfall” (“valuable waste” for the international market), which can either stand alone or be read as an extension of the name, “Høst valuable waste”.

From now on, autumn will be green.

james — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:41:05 +0000

For our annual sponsored project this year Tank chose to work with the new organisation BAR, Barn av rusmisbrukere (called Children of drug abusers in English). BAR is a support organisation for anyone who has grown up with parents or guardians who are drug abusers. We have created a new identity and are now working on the website which should be launched in the new year: www.barweb.no. In the meantime BAR can be followed on twitter: http://twitter.com/barnavrus.
