Photography

A direction wide enough to hold the whole group in three frames: the pier from the air, a late night in one of the bars, and the helter-skelter against a flat sea.

One lockup, two directions: green on cream and cream on green, so it reads the same above a share price table as it does on a cocktail menu.

Colour palette

Five colours taken off the pier itself: deep marine green and painted cream for the group, with the sky, the candy floss and the paintwork behind them.

Divisions

Brighton Palace Pier, Eclectic Bars, Paradise Island Adventure Golf and Lightwater Valley sit under one wordmark, labelled by what they are rather than re-branded away from the group.

THEME PARKGOLFBAR
Brand applications

A card system where the pattern does the work: chequers, diamonds and stripes lifted from Victorian pier tilework, framing a photograph or holding the wordmark on its own.

Collateral

The same patterned borders carried onto coasters and a bar and restaurant menu, so the identity reaches the table as well as the annual report.

Bars

Content cards for the bars division, Casa Amigos, Embargo and Lola Lo, where a display italic carries the venue and a quiet serif carries the detail, so each bar keeps its own character inside one system.
