Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather ’round and let us tell you the tale of Vinci Play…
The Brief
While their products have always been outstanding, their visual identity and marketing materials needed more personality. Like their competitors, they focused on the technical aspects of their playground equipment; materials, sizes and safety features. While these things matter, this is not all their customers buy.
The Answer
We were able to change the game for Vinci Play by shifting the focus of their brand away from technical sophistication to the sheer joy and excitement of play. Focusing on play allowed us to create a brand personality that was warm, likeable, and relatable.
Brand pillars
We established some visual pillars to bring Vinci Play’s brand to life: a vibrant colour scheme of violet and yellow, soft rounded typography, complete with funky and fun shapes.
Photography
style
We defined guidelines for photography, emphasising happy and smiling children and capturing the essence of fun, joy, and energy.
