Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12: The official book

Dimitris K. – Thursday 27/09/2012

39270 is the official book of Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 – the closest, most widely followed ocean race ever. Designers United created 39270 to provide Volvo, race organizers and sponsors with an inspirational and cost-effective tool for adding value to the thousands of global business relationships built through the race.

For us and our collaborators at Crescendo Brands, it was a privilege to tell a story through the rich medium of sailing photography – a strong genre of sport publishing. Unrestricted access to the Volvo archives provided a rare opportunity to portray ocean racing in a new way, whilst remaining faithful to the demands of a corporate client.

39270 can be pre-ordered at Volvo Ocean Race official store and will be available through major book retailers from October 29.

Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12: Designers United take line honours for race identity work

Dimitris K. – Wednesday 12/09/2012

“For a global sport event exposed to millions of people in 10 cities around the world as well as a media audience from more than 150 countries, a strong and unique graphic identity is absolutely key to our success. We decided to do a complete overhaul of our identity and even expand the identity across all our more than 20 different platforms of communication, from race village branding to phone and iPad apps, websites, cars, printed materials and TV graphics. Designers United provided us with an exceptionally good program and it covered all our different needs in a very complex environment with multiple stakeholders and logos. The feedback from our customers have been very positive and it clearly lifted the quality image of our brand and our event to new level. Designers United’s approach has been extremely professional and strategic and has brought a whole new level of identity focus into our company.”
