Enhancing NSBI’s visual identity system

Collaborating closely with NSBI, we enhanced their visual identity system by integrating all their programs and promotional initiatives under a cohesive visual language. This involved modernizing their visual foundation through applying a new identity system, which incorporated a range of branded assets and design strategies made to accommodate their expanding roster of key business sectors.

NSBI’s new visual identity framework

NSBI excels in many key business sectors and aims to showcase this expertise to potential clients and partners. To achieve this, we developed a graphic framework with the goal of giving each sector its distinct visual identity while adhering to the overarching brand guidelines. We expanded the colour palette, updated the typography, and created individual illustrated sector patterns for each major industry, effectively communicating their specialization and value to the province.
