Campus is Google’s network of co-working and event spaces for the many start-ups it has and continues to help fund. These are located in London, Madrid, Warsaw, São Paulo, Seoul, and Tel Aviv, with another to open in Berlin soon. The Campus community has over 80,000 members and collectively received over $537 million in funding which has created more than 11,000 jobs. Campus is described by MultiAdaptor, the design studio behind its recent rebranding, as being positioned slightly away from the main Google brand. The studio’s brand identity design for Campus reflects this. It also captures and expresses the startup spirit and energy of the entrepreneurs and founders, employees and investors, who make up the Campus community through a DIY aesthetic of words, images and colour. This approach intends to be democratic in nature and invite participation.

Institute is a full service creative studio from New York working with clients to connect with people through creative direction, live experiences, concept development, content creation, production and post-production services. Institute’s work is described as being underpinned by thoughtful and meaningful creativity, and although their clients are often high profile, their presence is intentionally modest. London-based Commission Studio worked with Institute to develop a visual identity that would not overshadow their work and express their taste and attitude. This included stationery set, business cards and website, linked by the concept of magnetic strips, a technology that can open doors.
