1977 Design
A proudly independent agency, 1977 Design was founded on the premise of ‘communication by design’ – effective design is not about the things designed, but the desired reactions and subsequent results encouraged. Great design is about encouraging people to think, feel or do something.

Adidas
The work with Adidas was to promote a range of new products, over the space of a few years. To reflect the quality of the products, a variation of high-end paper stocks and print finishes were utilised.

Arsenal FC
Starting by working on their museum design, 1977 Design's work with Arsenal FC spanned a number of years. From yearly membership packs to the whole brand architecture. From the Junior Gunners to the Diamond Club. The work with Arsenal FC reached all of their audiences through a great deal of their sub-brands.

The Football League
Work began with The Football League when 1977 Design were invited to design their Annual Report. On working with The Football League for a number of years, they then spoke to the agency about producing a book that would promote the League Cup to potential sponsors. Printing only 100 copies, and utilising a number of high-end print techniques, the book went out to the CEOs of leading businesses.

Working with Wimbledon for over a decade, the agency touched many areas of this great club and Championships. The most prominent of these was the museum, for which they designed the brand identity, promotional materials, and the museum graphics themselves.
