Strategist’s Insight – Padraig Smith
“For an organisation like Circol ELT, the brand isn’t just about a logo, it’s all about trust and transparency. Operating in the environmental and tyre-recycling sector requires a visual language that feels both authoritative and sustainable. Our strategy was to build a brand toolkit that could scale from simple stationery to complex, data-heavy annual reports without losing its premium, clean aesthetic and I think we were quite successful, working alongside Circol for years!.”
The Brief
Circol ELT, the statutory body responsible for the environmentally sound management of waste tyres in Ireland, commissioned the group to develop a comprehensive Full Brand Identity Pack. The objective was to create a professional, recognisable identity that could support their mission of environmental compliance while providing a flexible framework for years of corporate communications.

Corporate Narrative Integration:Designing the identity to sit naturally within government and industry contexts, ensuring high-level professionalism for B2B and regulatory stakeholders.

The Implementation
