On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month 1918 marked the signing of the Armistice, signalling the end of World War One.

london olympics… colourful olympic park
Yesterday I experienced the excitement of being at the Olympic Park, soaking up the atmosphere and watching two thrilling men’s basketball matches.
It was hard not to notice the role colour plays, from the wayfinding, national flags, wearing the colours showing the country you are supporting, spotting the volunteers to ask for help through to the beautiful wild flowers blooming everywhere.

history behind the colours & design of the olympic rings
In between meetings today, I stopped off to take a look at the Olympic rings hanging off London’s iconic Tower Bridge. I love the symbolism behind French Historian, Baron Pierre de Coubertin choice of colours and design. The logo has certainly stood the test of time. It still has the same relevance today as it did when it was first created in 1912.

business branding colours… meaning of yellow
When you choose a colour or colours for your brand, do you know what they are saying? Businesses that choose yellow as their primary brand colour, are they all expressing a personality of happiness, optimism and friendliness? And when yellow is incorporated with another colour or colours, you can completely change the meaning of your brand identity without even realising.

business branding colours… what are you saying when you wear pink
Companies who have a staff uniform are looking to gain maximum brand recognition and brand awareness, and it helps the staff be easily identifiable. Those companies who wear pink uniforms are looking to instil the feeling of being helpful in a caring, nurturing way. This not only instils these positive characteristics in their staff but to project this to their customers too.

business branding colours… meaning of pink
When I started researching for this article, I didn’t realise I would find so many businesses that use pink as their main branding colour. On one hand this may reflect an increase in women going into business or more female related services. On the other hand I did find it surprising given the back lash against pink being marketed at little girls. It seems when it comes to marketing to women pink is all the rage.
