Wolff Olins
Posted under best of breed, usa based firms, branding & advertising, United Kingdom.
Wolff Olins is clearly and consistently one of the world's most influential branding agencies. Started in 1965 (and now part of Omnicom) they have an impressive client list, and over 180 employees in London and New York (at this posting). In a world of caution and conservatism, they are courting new ideas, and breaking new ground, for new clients. In a time of anxiety and cynicism, they are designing with an optimistic outlook for the world. Excellent work for the London 2012 Olympics, bringing back color, spunk, and new wave freshness. Ripe, clean, colorful, innovative and passionate branding that is positively... positive.
Clients: London 2012, Bee, GE, (RED)
