Premm have recently designed a new identity for The Kingston & Wimbledon Keyhole Clinics. The clinic headed up by Peter Willson, specialising in laparoscopic surgery, wanted a clean and modern identity that would work well across patient facing materials and digital media.
Premm have been commissioned to evolve the brand and marketing materials for Inspire; Young Composers Competition. Originally created by the Premm team in 2009, the identity has been updated for the 2011 competition that culminates in the winning composition being performed as part of the BBC Proms season. Now in its thirteenth year, the prestigious BBC Proms Competition gives young composers aged 12-18 a chance to get their music heard by a wider audience. There are no restrictions on the type of music you can enter – whatever your style and inspiration, the BBC Proms team want to hear it! www.bbc.co.uk/proms
Premm were recently involved in producing all of the promotional and learning materials for the BBC roadshow that ran in support of the Turn Back Time – The High Street series. The highly successful BBC One programme tracked a group of shop-keeping families that were transported back to the birth of the high street in the 1870s, and propelled through a century of change, right up to the modern era and the 1970s.
Premm have produced a new identity for Brazier Clark, a building company specialising in contemporary renovation projects. The brief was to create a logo that captured the forward-looking ethos of the company and that would stand out in a busy marketplace. The strong graphic shapes enable ease of application to stationery and vehicle branding.
Whilst relaxing on a Sunday night in I decided to rent a film via itunes, realising I had seen nearly all the films in the top ten category I opted for the not so highly rated ‘Get him to the Greek’ starring Russell Brand. Without starting to make this a film review, lets just say I’d give it a 2/5! Anyway, despite that, approximately 10.20 mins into the film during a rather stereotypical ‘London Montage’, our 2009 Proms branding appeared (see below).
The Architectural Heritage Fund have recently published their 2009-2010 Annual Review. Premm were invited to design the review for the sixth consecutive year, and have enjoyed highlighting the many projects that the AHF have offered grants and loans to over the past 18 months. One of the 22 projects included within the completed projects section is the iconic 1930′s Stockport Plaza that has been restored to it’s former glory.
Premm are delighted to have been involved in the design and layout of the new BBC Editorial Guidelines – “One of the most important documents the BBC publishes”, according to Sir Michael Lyons, BBC Chairman. The 370pp book sets out the standards expected of everyone making or presenting the BBC’s output. www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguidelines

Premm have recently been working with global communications agency MS&L on a corporate messaging brochure, to outline the scope of their offering and to promote their ongoing relationship with The Coca Cola Company.
The slipcase and brochure details MS&L’s involvement with Coca Cola in brand building, consumer campaigns, sustainability, corporate reputation and employee communications. As the brochure is removed from the slipcase, it reveals an ever filling bottle of coke!
BBC Learning – History is a major priority for the BBC with an unprecedented range of History programmes
across BBC One, Two and Four over 2010 and 2011; from the Norman Conquest, to Stonehenge and 100 years of the
British High Street. The TV programming is being supported by a new BBC Learning initiative – Hands on History.
Premm were invited to tender for the ‘Hands on History’ campaign with the initial focus on the Normans. The
branding created gives flexibility for future campaigns with the creation of a central character named ‘Eric’, illustrated
by Glen McBeth. Eric, a young lad, is modern, cheeky and adventurous, with a real passion for the past. Throughout
the campaigns he will arrive in different eras and take on the persona of the time he emerges in. Animations
using Eric have been created by Pesky Animations to support the educational message.
Premm have created the brand, incorporated into a Learning pack to inspire families across the UK to explore
history. Resources include guides to historical buildings, walking tours, downloadable family and partner
activities, BBC events as well as lesson plans for schools, all with an emphasis on getting ‘hands on’.
As the curtain came down on the London Design Festival this weekend, Kevin managed to squeeze in a visit to Origin at Spitalfields Market on Sunday.
