South Western Railway underwent a wide-reaching rebrand, with the aim of creating a more cohesive and recognisable experience across every customer touchpoint.
Working alongside the agency team, the new identity was translated into a consistent system of design assets spanning both digital and print applications.
The work covered a broad range of outputs, from large-scale station graphics and signage through to infographics, newsletters, social content and campaign materials.
Alongside the rollout, ongoing campaign work supported the evolution of the identity across multiple communications as it was implemented.
REACH
Apprenticeship Campaign Identity
South Western Railway launched REACH, an apprenticeship programme aimed at attracting and developing talent across roles ranging from customer service to management.
Challenge
Create a distinctive identity that communicates growth, ambition and long-term development, while aligning seamlessly with SWR’s existing brand.
Solution
Designed a clean, minimalist logo centred around a reimagined capital “A”, transformed into an upward-pointing arrow. The mark subtly conveys progression and aspiration, reinforcing the programme’s focus on career development while maintaining visual consistency with the wider brand system.
Outcome
The REACH identity was rolled out across job adverts and campaign materials, creating a recognisable and cohesive presence for apprenticeship recruitment and reinforcing SWR’s commitment to nurturing future talent.
