My experience of working with Pale Blue Dot is very positive. Their team has worked on numerous projects for me including brand development, messaging, brochure design and other major design projects. What stands out for me about their work is that they are very strong both at the creative side of coming up with new ideas, but also executing these ideas and meeting all deadlines.

The PBD team is excellent right the way through the process, from understanding the design brief and what we are trying to achieve, coming with up great ideas as to how this transfers through to different media and efficiently managing the whole delivery process. Their approach is collaborative and professional and they are really great to work with. I would highly recommend them.

Challenge

Gilbert-Ash had the reputation and the results. What it lacked was a clear expression of what united its people, partners and projects: something that could differentiate the business in a competitive industry and give its culture a name.

Strategy

Through research and workshops, one idea kept surfacing: the way Gilbert-Ash works is as distinctive as what it builds. Collaboration isn't just a value, it's the method. As One became the brand idea, the culture platform and the creative foundation.

Identity

A bold red palette, clean design and a tone of voice defined by three principles: Assured, Open, Candid. Culture materials and film brought the idea to life for employees and partners alike.

Digital

A visually rich, image-led website lets the projects take centre stage, with subtle motion reinforcing the As One philosophy. Built on a scalable CMS for easy content management, with full performance and accessibility compliance.

Outcome

A brand as strong as the buildings they build, and a culture platform that gives the whole business something to stand behind.
