Top of the Mind Branding (post#5)

Just like what I do on every project, I started off doing brainstorming. Here, I've listed the different iconic things in London that I could use for developing my mural.
  • Big Ben
  • Houses of Parliament
  • Tower Bridge
  • The Queen
  • River Thames
  • London Underground Sign
  • Foot guards and Life Guards
  • Red Double Decker Bus
  • Buckingham Palace
  • London Eye
  • Madame Tussauds
  • Union Jack (Royal Ensign)
  • The Ritz
  • Picadilly Circus
  • Leicester Square
  • Crown
  • Harrods
  • Street Light
  • St.Paul's Cathedral
  • West Minister's Abbey
  • Black Cabs
  • Red Pone Booth
  • Iconic statues (i.e. Napoleon, Black Lions, Nelson's Column, Victoria Memorial, Eros Statue)
  • Admiralty Arch
  • Trafalgar Square
  • British Museum
  • London City Hall
  • Pigeons
  • King's Cross Station
  • Theatre Masks
  • Bowler hats & Umbrellas
  • Tower of London
  • Tate Modern
  • Albert Hall Memorial
  • Globe Theatre
  • Battersea Station
  • Corgis
  • Wembley
  • Red Colour
  • Olympic 2010
  • Johnston typeface as it is the one that have been used for London Underground Sign.

Apart from Johnston there are also other typefaces that are also associated with London and these are Gill Sans, Clarendon, Albertus, Efra, FS Clerkenwell typefaces


You can see in the list that I've included the Red Colour. This is because to me, it appears to be the traditional colour of the London City. Notice the City's bus, the Queen's guards'uniform, phone booth etc. they're all red!
