In this day and age, companies from every industry (be it pharmaceutical, engineering, media etc) must keep up with the changes occurring in the business world, in order to ensure survival and success.

So the question that arises is that what should I do to regain my customers’ attention and interest?
Well the answer is “Rebranding”. Now there are many steps involved in process of rebranding, however, we will look at it from a design aspect.

  • Evan, I'm late to the party on this but thanks so much for this post. It's amazing how much (or little) can go into a great design. I'm going to share this post, great stuff.

    Seriously ... the BBC one for $1.8M is just crazy. Not that it's bad, it's just crazy!
