Heritage in Britain
It was good to be back at ExCel for World Travel Market (WTM 2022) for the first time since the pandemic. This year, we designed the graphics for the Heritage in Britain stand, a consortium of eight of the UK’s top visitor attractions that includes: English Heritage, Historic Royal Palaces, RHS, The National Gallery, St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe, Kew Gardens and the Royal Collection Trust.
As well as seeing our work in situ and making sure everyone was happy, an afternoon at WTM is always a stimulating event for any designer interesting in destination branding, with seemingly the whole world congregating in London to promote a multitude of destinations and experiences.
