An Overview Of Our Work For Irish Stock Exchange

Our award-winning design work for the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) has supported their strategic intentions and activities.

We have worked with the (ISE) since 2009. In that time our work has encompassed a broad range of activites from brand strategy workshops, corporate identity design and brand governance, through to literature design, information design, document systems design and signage design.

Where our work has added most value is in unifying the visual expression of all of the ISE's activities within one strong, coherent corporate identity system. This now provides a sound basis on which to build the kind of enhanced services and novel commercial activities that ISE shall be introducing as it expands beyond its regulatory role.

Daryl Byrne, Head of Strategy Planning & Brand at ISE says "BFK understood the complex strategic issues at the heart of our branding brief and distilled those into a powerful, consistent and flexible identity system that equips us to deliver greater consistency in all of our interactions with our customers and stakeholders, and facilitates our business development objectives."
