Brand. Design. A brand isn t just a logo or a tagline, it is the sum of the perceptions that are held about a business, product or service. Creating effective, long-lasting brands and harnessing the power that comes with positive perception are key strengths of Yoke. We take a strategic approach to our branding work. Through a detailed process of research and investigation, we delve deep into each project to help us understand what that brand needs to act like, feel like and stand for.

From small start-ups to large multinationals, the brands we have created for our clients are rolled out through a wide range of on and offline channels.

Palace Cinemas Yoke has been working with Palace Cinemas for a number of years on several of the organisation s annual film festivals. In 2014 the agency was behind the identity for the Emirates British Film Festival. Drawing inspiration from the festival s retro themed film programming, the concept for the design was based on early examples of British graphic design, and was seen across all marketing and advertising material. St. Bourke Atlanta based asset management company St. Bourke approached Yoke to design a new brand and brand identity for their growing business. Drawing inspiration from the way buildings rise from the ground up, Yoke s concept was paired with a strong, yet sophisticated icon mark. The final result was a brand that sat comfortably with the corporate positioning of their audience, but at the same time, represented the aspirational qualities that are present when the conversation centres around growing and managing a property portfolio.
Maison A new boutique property management and leasing firm approached Yoke to create its brand and identity, and to launch the business into the Australian market.

Pooch Pooch supplies selected cafes and bars with a special menu so that their pet-loving customers can order for their dog as well as themselves. Yoke was asked to create a unique new look that captured the character of this young and exciting new brand and to design a series of on and offline comms to take the message to market. Brand
