Greenpeace’s Global Plastic Treaty designed by Manchester agency

Flow Creative has designed the brand identity for Greenpeace’s new campaign to end the use of single use plastics.

The Greenpeace Global Plastic Treaty will be launched this weekend in Paris and will also call on nations to commit to stopping the production of plastic.

Manchester’s Flow Creative was brought in to create a brand identity, which was flexible enough to be used in many different alphabets and languages. It also had to be “immediately identifiable” and strong enough to carry the messaging.

The agency came up with a simple stamp mark, which was based on the idea of a “badge of honour to show membership of the treaty.” It includes a graphic illustration of the globe; versions were made with five different views of the planet to be used by all continents on earth.

The creative also includes campaign messaging in typographic systems, and a set of icons in the same graphic style as the stamp mark.

“As an agency we have always tried to work with organisations who do good in the world and few top Greenpeace, whose mission is literally to save our planet,” explained Flow Creative, Founder & Creative Director, Karl Doran.

“Plastic use and production needs to be reduced and soon, the oceans are polluted, the world’s ecosystems are dying because of the widespread production of single-use plastic and human communities are being impacted. To be part of Greenpeace’s hugely ambitious global campaign to bring nations together to end the age of plastic is an honour and a privilege. We’re looking forward to seeing the campaign capturing the attention of global leaders and hopefully creating a once in a lifetime change for our planet.” 

Greenpeace launched the campaign ahead of the International Negotiating Committee in Paris.

Plastic-Free-Future will demand a treaty that will keep oil and gas used to produce plastic in the ground and “put an end to big polluters’ relentless plastic production.”

“Massive thanks to the team at Flow for creating such an empowering brand identity for our Global Plastics Treaty Campaign,” added Greenpeace’s USA, Head of Comms & Engagement Plastics’ Campaign, Capucine Dayen.

“As the name suggests we required an identity that worked across our offices internationally, that would grab our audience’s attention and that that evokes hope and ultimately urgency for action. We are delighted with the outcome and are excited as it comes to live globally.”
