The Goldsmiths’ Centre

Helping a stunning space and creative offer to shine out to all audiences; new and old, with their brand, marketing and signage. The Goldsmiths' Centre is a relatively new centre for training and workshops in jewellery and silversmithing which also hosts events and exhibitions. It aims to create a new heartland for the allied trades and retain the industry in the UK.

We have been working with the Goldsmiths' Centre since 2014 and have designed for most areas of their communication. We pride ourselves on developing strong relationships and understanding of our clients needs and issues which means we can provide solutions which are efficient and work.

Having worked with Fit Creative previously, it was an obvious choice to ask them to support us in developing the Goldsmiths’ Centre brand. Following a creative pitch, they have brought both clarity and creativity to our brand allowing us to achieve standout and brand stretch in a clever system. They have proved their namesake yet again with a solution fit for purpose.

Branding

We have worked to develop the Goldsmiths' Centre brand to more effectively stand out in communications to different audiences. The new brand logo family provides flex to allow the brand to be louder or quieter. The expanded toolkit allows the brand to look fresh across different exhibitions whilst still retaining a recognisable brand.

Brand film

A short film explaining the three brand pillars of the charity which features on the homepage of the website. We scripts, filmed, and animated and edited it.

We have designed the quarterly events leaflet and roll it out every 3 months.

We have also created the suite of leaflets promoting the different training levels available.

A variety of online advertising, static and animated, has been designed, to support training opportunities.
