Tank Design

The ICT Centre strives to make digital learning more effective in schools, thereby increasing the quality and value of education in general. The centre is a dynamic and future-oriented organisation, and they needed a new visual identity to reflect this. The identity works on different levels, addressing the need for breadth in their outward communication to a wide range of target audiences.

The website communicates the centre’s work and highlights the high levels of competence in the organisation. Optimal user experience was prioritised and there are many routes into the content. All content is marked with themes, target audiences and content type, and also related to projects and employees. Clean design and legible typography strengthens usability and the use of crisp, clean colour represents a modern organisation with wide-ranging appeal.

Tank was asked by The Norwegian Directorate of Health to design a national quit-smoking campaign. The campaign has provoked some strong reactions with its explicit use of imagery. It consists of films and adverts in both newspapers and magazines, and huge number of web banners. Photography by Jo Michael, amongst others.

BETT is the world’s leading educational technology event, where professionals can try or buy a comprehensive range of ICT products and services. Cappelen Damm Undervisning commissioned Tank to produce a concept and design for their 3×4 metre exhibition stand. We designed display walls, a TV box, furniture, decor as well as branded material and print.

Our client said: “Thank you so much for a great stand. Everyone at Cappelen Damm, not to mention many others at the exhibition, thought the stand design was very, very good. Choosing to focus on one message was also an excellent decision which worked very well.”

FUB (the Committee for Parents of Kinderdarten Children) aims to strengthen engagement from parents with kindergarten-age children by providing them with information and guidance. Tank had the pleasure of designing their first major brochure. The illustrations came from Mille, Max (both aged 5) and Markus (aged 2), donated willingly by parent/designers at Tank. This resulted in a colourful, lively report which emanates happiness whilst presenting the more serious content.

Our client said: “Our brochure about collaboration between home and kindergarten has been laid out beautifully and complements the content effectively: use of colour, children’s drawings and images indicate that this report is about children, yet it has been put together in an organised and inviting way”.

Rune Denstad Langlo from Motlys has made a beautiful documentary about Rosenborg Football Club’s living legend, Roar Strand. Tank designed the title sequence and the cover design. You can buy the film here.

A lonely, fur-clad man on skis – amongst endless icebergs and frozen seas. A tent, a flag, four men in an icy wasteland. The concept of the polar hero would never have existed without photography. “Norske polarheltbilder 1888–1928″ (Images of Norwegian Polar Heroes 1888-1928) is an exhibition which focuses on how the medium of photography has had a central role in creating, staging and consolidating our perceptions of heroes and heroism.

Tank was responsible for the design of the exhibition. See the exhibition at the National Library (Nasjonalbiblioteket), online and as a travelling poster exhibition at libraries across the country, from Nobember 9th 2011 until January 28th 2012.

Tank has designed a new visual identity from one of Norway’s largest and most international corporate law firms – their offices are in Oslo, Bergen, London, Singapore, Shanghai and Kobe. This complex and multi-faceted job has finally come to fruition through a complete visual identity programme which covers everything from logo development to a client magazine and signage programme. The website will be launched early next year, using the latest web technologies.

Tank has designed the poster and accompanying material for “A Marriage“, a short film by Henning Rosenlund. Geir is a Norwegian middle-aged bachelor waiting for Tina, his Russian wife to-be. Tina is young and beautiful. When she arrives in Norway, Geir is torn between happiness and anxiety. Set as an exploration of their first few weeks together, “A Marriage” tells a tale of fragile love. The film is produced by Mer Film and Jørgen Langhelle plays Geir.

Tank has created the identity, website and exhibition for Nasjonalbiblioteket’s (The National Library of Norway) latest and greatest project – Nasjonens hukommelse (translation). The exhibition consists of 100 objects from the library’s 200-year old archive, each object being voted into the exhibition online. The objects are a mixture of books, advertising, radio and TV programmes, films, photos and original manuscripts from Norwegian personalities. Will this exhibition say something about who we are? Visit the exhibition and decide for yourself – it’s open from 24th August to 22nd October.

Jarle Klepp is finally back again. We have designed the film poster and marketing material for the film “Jeg reiser alene“. Director Stian Kristiansen has created a touching and funny story, where Jarle Klepp’s student life is turned upside down when his daughter appears from out of the blue. Charlotte Isabel is the result of a one night stand seven years and nine months beforehand, as seen in the film “Mannen som elsket Yngve“. Now she’s flying over to spend a week with her new father… Screenplay by Tore Renberg and produced by Motlys. See more at www.facebook.com/jegreiseralene.
