BFK: Aiden lectures on brand identity at IADT

For the third year running, Aiden has participated as a Guest Lecturer for the School of Creative Arts at the Institute of Art Design and Technology in Dun Laoghaire. Aiden gave a presentation on corporate and brand identity to the third-year Visual Communication students at the beginning of their corporate identity design module in September. He returned four weeks later at the end of the module for the final critique and assessment of their identity projects.

Gerard Fox Lecturer in Visual Communication said “Aiden’s critique and his informed perspective was most helpful for our students, and it was of great benefit for them to get a fresh viewpoint from a designer with such experience in this particular field”.

BFK: Updated Website 2008

We have designed this new version of our website to facilitate exploration and discovery of our work. The new structure allows you to navigate through our work in many different ways. At the highest level, we have classified all of our work as Brand Identity, or as Brand Communications, or as Consultancy and Research. These first three links in the side navigation panel generate pages that collect all of the content we have tagged with those labels.

BFK: Two IDEA Awards in 2005

The effectiveness of our work in corporate identity has been recognised by Ireland's Graphic Design Business Association. We collected two Silver IDEA Awards at the 2005 Irish Design Effectiveness Awards, which were held last night.

Our rebranding of Campus Oil won silver in the category for corporate identity projects with an implementation cost of over fifty thousand euro.

Our branding work with DeepStream Technologies also took silver, in the category for identities under fifty thousand euro.

The Design Effectiveness Awards judge design solutions by their proven economic effectiveness and perceptible influence, as well as their aesthetic and creative excellence. The GDBA represents Ireland's graphic design profession and is committed to developing an understanding of the effectiveness and value of graphic design in corporate and marketing communications through advocacy, education and debate.
