British Gas

A new visual identity for the UK's biggest energy provider.

 
 

Challenge

Create a fresh new identity to reflect the new brand proposition ‘Smooth running’, and build trust with customers.

 
 
 

Solution

Real, friendly and simply human.

A brand language that expresses a clear understanding and care for real people and real lives. New brand values were created and introduced to ground everything in being in-tune, down to earth, and pioneering for customers. This carried through into new graphic elements, colour palettes, iconography, a fresh new typeface, infographics and photography.

The brand new custom typeface was essential to ensure the voice genuinely connected with the customer. Billing and account documentation is a key channel for the brand and one that needed a friendlier approach. Working closely with the team at Fontsmith we created a typeface that addressed this in a series of weights; BG Flame.
