Tank Design

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.

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.

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.

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.

NTVA is an independent, non-profit organisation which recruits its members from academic institutions and business. The members enrolled are people who have either made huge scientific contributions to technical or related fields, or if their work has had great significance for the advancement of technology or technological knowledge. The academy was founded in 1995.

We redesigned NTVA’s website with a focus on seriousness, readability and subtle elegance. Respect for this dignified organization, with many well-known members within Norwegian Science, was also an important factor in design development. NTVA also has full control of the website’s content using a content management system customised by Eyego, who worked alongside us on the project. The website will be launched in spring 2010.
