Ballet Cymru is the leading independent Ballet Company in Wales, established in the 1980’s. Artistic Director and founder, Darius James (OBE) is committed to innovation in dance and to achieving the highest standard of collaboration with choreographers, designers, composers and musicians.
A client for several years, we’ve been privileged to create integrated marketing materials for the company for their professional programme and outreach work.
When we were approached to develop a new visual identity that captured all aspects of the organisation, from the diversity of its people and its ambitious programme, we jumped at the opportunity.
The identity needed to extend to a system of sub-brands, embracing the pre-professional and outreach elements of the dance company’s work.

'Icon understood our passion and desire to create a forward-thinking, diverse visual identity from day one. By challenging our expectations and ambitions for Ballet Cymru the creative team were able to develop an identity that resonated with our audiences and the Ballet Cymru family too.'

“Icon’s vision and creative flair have helped make our undergraduate campaign a huge success; we have seen significant increases in prospectus distribution, up 30% on the previous year in some areas of the U.K. and a subsequent rise in open day bookings.”
