Acorn Early Years

Acorn Early Years are one of the most established providers of nurseries and childcare with over 14 locations across Milton Keynes, Bedford & Northampton. They approached us with the intention of completing the company’s brand guidelines and improving their overall brand appearance across digital and print output to unify the brand across the locations.

The assets that were being used didn’t have a uniform look and feel as most of the locations were responsible for the design of their own print and digital assets. Acorn were not happy with the inconsistent look and feel of their output and challenged us to create a design system that could be used by their in-house marketing team to produce regular print collateral for their locations.

Using Acorn’s new website as a guide for fonts, colours and imagery style we developed a range of templates for printed assets that could be easily updated to show different messages and information for each location and form a solid basis for the brand guidelines. 

We continue to support Acorn with producing a monthly newsletter, annual reports, prospectuses, training, signage, exhibition and digital assets.
