Siniat

"It inspires me. It reflects our strengths and ambitions."

I love our new branding. It inspires me. It reflects our strengths and ambitions and the pioneering spirit within our business.

Bernard Lekien

CEO, Siniat

When Lafarge Plasterboard became part of the Etex Group, the business needed more than a new name. It needed a brand capable of making an impact in a global market. DC&CO, working with Benubi, created Siniat: a bold new identity built for confidence and scale.

We delivered comprehensive global brand guidelines, brand animations, brand launch kits and templates, all against uncompromising timescales. Everything the business needed to launch consistently and confidently across markets from day one.

What we did

Our work began with a comprehensive brand audit, competitor audit, brand interviews, workshop, analysis and strategy, establishing a clear direction for the new Siniat brand. We then moved into brand development and creative concepts, building out the full brand identity: logo design, symbol and icon design, design principles, brand guidelines and typography. To bring the brand to life we produced brand photography, brand animation and motion design and animation, alongside signage and wayfinding design, internal communications and print design.
