Client Success Story: How Halcyon Graphics Transformed Our School's Branding

Transforming Spaces with Halcyon Graphics: A Testimonial from a Thrilled Client

In today's competitive educational landscape, schools are more than just places of learning. They are environments that reflect their values, vision, and identity, and Halcyon Graphics is helping institutions bring these elements to life through creative branding and design solutions. One of our most rewarding projects came in 2022, when we had the privilege of working with a school that needed a fresh, modern rebranding of its Sixth Form building and key areas of the site. Here's their story, in their own words.

A Vision Turned Reality: Our Client's Testimonial

"During the Spring and Summer Terms of 2022, Halcyon Graphics developed a series of rebranding products and images for our school, which have undoubtedly transformed our site."

This school was proud of its newly constructed Sixth Form building, but something was missing—branding. The absence of external signage and the need for a refreshed look throughout the school prompted them to reach out to us. They sought to modernize the school's presentation, creating an environment that both aligned with their ethos and appealed to students and visitors alike.

"Previously, our new Sixth Form building, which we are very proud of, had no external signage or branding. Our signage at the entrances to the site also needed replacing, and our main Reception was in need of a refresh to reflect our school aims and to provide a more modern look and feel."

A Collaborative Approach to Design

Joe Greenwood, Halcyon Graphics' lead designer, took the reins, meeting with the school's senior colleagues to carefully understand their goals. Through several meetings and site visits, he got to the heart of what the school wanted to achieve. It was about more than just new signs—it was about encapsulating the school's values, aspirations for the Sixth Form, and their forward-thinking vision for the future.

"Joe Greenwood met with senior colleagues in school and developed a suite of images and products that brought together our school aims, our priorities for our Sixth Form, and our vision for the future. Working closely alongside our staff during several meetings and site visits, he was able to produce a stunning end result over a range of projects."

Bringing Ideas to Life

The result was a series of projects that transformed key spaces around the school. One of the standout features was a bespoke photograph of a local landmark, the Tor, which held significant meaning to the school. This image became a focal point in the Reception area, giving visitors a sense of the school’s identity the moment they stepped inside.

"Their work in our reception has transformed the space and created the welcome we hoped for when arriving at our school, with a key feature being a bespoke photograph image of the Tor for our wall, a well-known local landmark which is dear to our heart."

Halcyon's success lay in their approach. Joe took the time to listen carefully and adjust the designs based on feedback, ensuring the final product aligned perfectly with the school’s vision. His attention to detail and willingness to collaborate every step of the way allowed him to deliver a project that exceeded expectations.

"Joe listened carefully at each stage of our work together, enabling his design ideas to encapsulate our vision and deliver successfully on the brief."

Delivering Excellence Beyond Design

What sets Halcyon Graphics apart is not just the creativity and design skill but also the dedication to getting every detail right—even during installation. The Halcyon Graphics team worked closely with the school's site team, ensuring everything was completed in time for important school events. The result? A project delivered on time, within budget, and a school thrilled with the transformation.

"Whilst we have been impressed with the companies keen eye for detail and creative nature, we have been equally impressed with the care and attention Joe offered during the installation. He worked exceptionally well with our site team and demonstrated a genuine willingness to support the school in relation to key events in the calendar."
