A we have seen through the recent popularisation of the rainbow as a symbol for the NHS, good design makes an impression. As a creative agency we recognise the importance of a visual message.
Throughout this pandemic creativity has been used to produce impactful designs that educate, inspire and entertain. Here are a few of our favourites:
