The Intercom speech bubble is a vehicle for expression within the intranet at Microsoft Australia. It becomes the voice, the one channel for all internal communication. Speech bubbles of all shapes and sizes give each communication its own character and personality and allow the system to house a diverse suite of messages across multiple business units. The system also offers a fantastic opportunity to open a dialogue with staff, to start a wider conversation and physical forms of the bubble will act as a strong engagement tool.

Each speech bubble was created by hand by Illustrator Jen McEvoy, she spent days preparing around 400 designs….there was anything from twigs to liquorish allsorts!

Lovells Lager was created by two successful, Australian music industry professionals, with a passion for great tasting beer. Frustrated by the quality of session lagers available, they decided to create their own brew. They wanted to take the creative inspiration, craftsmanship and independence, that was the driving force of their music, and channel it into the production of their new beer. Lovells Lager was created on this very premise.

Having worked with an established micro-brewer to create the ideal product, they now needed to create the brand identity. Lovells wanted to create a voice that challenged the norms of a very established and traditional beer category, and at the same time, reflected the personality and character of the two owners.

Early in the process, we established the idea of disruption, as a way of acknowledging the language and expectations of established beer brands, yet putting a new twist on it. The dragon became an icon to symbolise this concept. The bottle label design used traditional beer cues, whilst the neck label was the vehicle for creative expression, wit and humour. The packaging elements became small canvases to express new ideas and build depth into the brand. This juxtaposition forces you to think about the brand and becomes part of the beer drinkers dialogue.

Microsoft is moving to a completely new way of working, one that uses the most innovative technology and working practices and perfectly showcases how their technology enables customers to fulfill their potential. In the new environment no one has their own desk. Instead people can sit where they want, with whoever they want. It’s a big change and with such a shift in working practices comes a new level of responsibility for every employee. So Microsoft were looking for a way to communicate the ‘drier’ information in a way that wouldn’t alienate staff and would actually make them want to read it and take note.

The solution focuses on the top 10 ‘dos and don’ts’ in the new office space, told through a set of office characters that we’ve all encountered at some point or another. You know the guy that talks on the phone too loudly? The girl that never cleans up after herself? The one that always has the lunch that stinks? They’re all to be found in here! Talking to staff in such a light and humorous way resulted in a piece that’s engaging, fun to read and memorable.
