ITV ident together made by NHS staff 'mending' the ITV logo.
Client: Imperial Health Chairty, ITV
Duration: 2 Months
Topic: Health Awarness
The Brief
When approached by ITV and Imperial Health Charity, our only guidance was creating an ITV ident collaboratively with a group of NHS staff, which celebrated Britain coming together. We spent lots of time brainstorming what that meant to us and how it could be visualised. We wanted to highlight the NHS coming together but also the importance of making something fun. After pitching to Imperial Health Charity and ITV Studio different concepts, we decided to work with a cut-out ITV logo that would be mended using different foam shapes. There were a couple of restrictions for the brief, including:
Must be made and filmed entirely in one day
Must allow for different levels of participation
Must look good as an ident and as a finished ITV logo
Must have a cohesive theme that will work well visually but also have room for surprise
Involve the theme of 'Britain coming together' for ITV
The Outcome
I designed the concept for a workshop where a group of NHS staff was given broken sections of the ITV logo and had to mend the logo by using a craft related to their profession. A surgeon, for example, glued and stitched pieces back together with filler and thread. The participants constructed the logo live in front of cameras, in order to create the ident. The piece emphasised the journey of the shapes from broken pieces into a ‘fixed’ whole and celebrated the important role that creativity plays in supporting our health and wellbeing.
