Imperial is a fantastic institution, delivering world-changing impact. The goal of our brand is to tell our story with greater clarity, confidence and impact.
Building our brand will help us compete on a sustainable basis in the very top tier internationally. It’s at the heart of the ambition and vision we have set through our new institutional strategy, and our own community signaled a clear desire to bolster our reputation and get Imperial the recognition it deserves. This work will deliver multiple benefits, from attracting the best talent, funding and partnerships, to our general reputation and ranking. The initial work on the Brand Project ran from June 2023 to February 2024, and was supported by a Project Board, a Working Group, and a Critical Friends Group.
We worked with the design studio Pentagram on the brand strategy and creative elements, and with the inclusive research agency Open Inclusion to ensure the inclusivity and accessibility of this work.
We now have a new visual and verbal identity that are rooted in our science heritage, modern, confident and expressive. Both elements articulate Imperial's purpose and vision, our strengths – including our London location – and our impact, all while differentiating us in a crowded and competitive landscape.
