As part of the work to create a new identity for Orbel, a personal alcohol hand gel dispenser, Frameworks designed and built its new website.
The website uses a blending background which constantly changes, irrespective of the page you are on. The strong colours have an immediate impact on the viewer and reflects the colourful and engaging nature of the Orbel product.
Orbel is a new personal alcohol hand gel dispenser to be used by healthcare professionals to help prevent the spread of hospital acquired infections such as MRSA.
Frameworks was asked to develop an identity which communicated a series of values, including protection, reliability, uniqueness and innovation. We created a logo that imitated a bacteria being killed, represented by the letters gradually disappearing. We also developed a strong colour palette, which will become synonymous with the product, making it instantly recognisable by its healthcare audience.
For the past few years, Frameworks has created Christmas themed games to run on the EC Group website. By selecting a charity from this webpage visitors have the opportunity to determine which worthy cause benefits from EC Group’s Christmas card fund.
The page also gives people the chance to have a bit of fun. This year’s game is called ‘Snow Match’, and is a memory game where you need to match snowflakes to reveal a festive message from all at EC Group.
Previous games have included a maze, and the snowman makeover (shown below).
Frameworks works in collaborative partnership with EC Group to provide integrated design, production, print and logistics services for publications, product and promotional material. This provides our clients with comprehensive and totally seamless solutions within a compact and fully managed supply chain.
Frameworks provides marketing support to Startup: a charity established to support ex-offenders in successful self-employment.
Each year more than 80,000 prisoners are released from prison but nearly two thirds of them will have re-offended within two years. Many factors contribute to this re-offending that include family, social, educational and work problems. One of the real tragedies from this re-offending is the loss of the ex-offenders’ potential contribution to society and the damage to their families and children.
It is easy to understand why re-offending can occur as people often leave prison with no money, no car, no bank account, no job and no references. Startup aims to help ex-offenders solve some of these problems by becoming self-employed, giving them a real chance of a fresh start.
The organisation achieves this by providing ex-offenders with focused, caring and consistent support, both financial and personal, which will reduce re-offending by enabling ex-offenders to become self-employed and return to a positive and productive life where they add value to society.
As part of Frameworks’ Pro Bono work, we have created a new identity for Startup, which has been rolled out into its website and collateral, helping to support the organisation in its important work. The new website can be viewed at: www.startupnow.org.uk

Following the successful creation of the new Startup identity, Frameworks has designed and built its new website.
It was crucial to create a website that effectively communicated the important work Startup undertakes. To achieve this, the website contains concise information about how the organisation works, its success stories and all its recent news and events.
The website has been built using WordPress, allowing users to easily manage content through an admin facility. You can view the new Startup website at: www.startupnow.org.uk

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group at Tanaka Business School, Imperial College London, asked Frameworks to create a name and visual look and feel for their new newsletter.
The Group was created in 2003 with the aim to help firms improve their innovative capabilities resulting in boosted performance, increased speed and accuracy and cost reduction in new product and service development.
Ingage will be at the heart of the Group’s internal communication functions, delivering key information to employees and stakeholders. Ingage is an informative, clean, concise newsletter that has a unique identity, but still follows Tanaka Business School corporate guidelines.
Frameworks was approached by Motability Operations to provide design and HTML templates for their new website.
Motability Operations is a private business providing a range of affordable cars to disabled people through lease and hire purchase schemes. They are the largest fleet operator in the UK and the largest supplier of used cars to the trade. The organisation is owned by the five clearing banks: Barclays, HBOS, Lloyds TSB, HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
We liaised with Motability’s internal IT team to design a site that both followed the organisation’s clear guidelines and worked with the content management system they already had in place.
AZUDOO is a mutual global society regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom.

- An opportunity and a space for the Members to communicate and consider what the key economic, social, cultural and environmental challenges are that they face as Members, and how they might solve such economic, social, cultural and environmental challenges;
- A forum for the determination of the distribution of funds of the Mutual for Projects. The Mutual seeks to solve such key economic, social, cultural and environmental challenges and to be eligible for such funds the relevant challenge must be faced by a sufficiently sized community of Members directly or indirectly.

Design London asked Frameworks to design a report to communicate the progress and performance during its first year of operation.
Since the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) and the parent organisations of the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London established Design London in October 2007 in response to the Cox Review: Creativity in Business, it has made huge strides in its aims to develop, research and deliver radically new practices, tools and processes to transform the way organisations innovate, and translate their creativity into commercial success.
The new report strengthens the Design London brand, and effectively expresses its key messages and vision for the future. Frameworks is pleased to support such an exciting organisation and looks forward to continuing its relationship with Design London.
“Design London… the most exciting educational project in many years.”
Sir James Dyson, Chairman, Dyson Limited
