“To reflect the corporate image throughout the design, a dynamic & bespoke methodology was incorporated, symbolic of the day to day operations. The ‘count’ is reflected through the form of an abstract abacus style symbolisation.
“Layers & various forms of green graphic film transform the space allowing a vibrancy & fresh approach to bleed through the space.”
