Our color palette was inspired by the phenomenon of bioluminescence as an animal's 'conservation' response. More and more creatures (including corals) are adapting to their heating climates and environments by using bioluminescence as a defence mechanism (The Economist, 2019). 

By entering this alert mode to drive away predators and protect against danger, bright neons could be seen as Nature's own form of conservation.

Special thanks to CEO Johnathan Baillie for being such an encouraging partner; as well as Kim, Will, Houda and all the OTE team working to reconnect people with nature.

Since when does conservation have to be so conservative? A zesty brand for Nature's new digital media agency.

Human. Nature. You’d think the two would get along, but we’re living in the middle of a mass extinction event and are too disconnected from nature to notice. This is the problem conservation charity On the Edge are solving in a novel way. Through the creation, iteration and measurement of scientific programs, online games and nature documentaries focused on critically endangered species; they are an experimental nature studio increasing the biodiversity of the planet... as well as the internet. 

By deploying online experiments that promote the offline world, they are internet’s nature advocates driving change from the inside. Their premise is unconventional, yet disruptive — aimed at forging a reconnection with nature by manipulating digital tools and techniques in order to shake up the narrative.

On the Edge needed a brand identity, website design and Headless CMS website build: one that spoke to their Gen Z target audience, without alienating the scientists that make up 50% of the company. Bravely unconventional, technologically savvy and relentlessly experimental; these 'internet outsiders' are intent on bringing the outside into the digital realm. 

Our design system therefore used glass panels and literal 'edges' to represent the blurred interface between our online screens and the outside world. Sometimes these appear with more clarity, in others they distort into noise and oblivion. Or extinction. 

TWK Everett by type foundry Weltkern, was chosen for its sharp cuts and edges, and paired with Simplon Mono by Swiss Typefaces for an academic touch.

On the Edge's icon was inspired by the patterns on endangered tree frogs, whose markings look like letterforms and characters. By 'reading' an animal in a typographic way, we wanted to reinforce the communication and dialogue needed between humans and nature. A colour palette (inspired by bioluminescence which is nature's own self-defence and conservation technique) was paired with a strong grid, neon accents and minimal aesthetic in order to counter the huge amount of colourful, zany content that OTE produce.

Human. Nature. You’d think the two would get along, but we’re living in the middle of a mass extinction event and are too disconnected from nature to notice. This is the problem conservation charity On the Edge are solving in a novel way. So we asked ourselves: since when does conservation have to be so conservative? The result was a zesty brand for Nature's new digital media agency.

The internet. It’s given us endless access to information, made communication more efficient, and doing business incredibly easy. And like, have you ever tried TikTok? It’s done a world of good, but recently it’s done the world bad. An unnatural side effect of the growing connectedness to data and our second cousins on Facebook is that it’s made us more distant from the natural world. Our world.

Programs to get people back into the outdoors are great, but it’s time someone tries to fix the problem from the inside. On the Edge are using the internet to fight the internet; deploying rapid creative experiments that toss out the old rulebook of conservation and completely rethink how to reach the most critical generations for avoiding a climate catastrophe. They're turning conservation inside out.

On the Edge have seen a huge surge in followers and staff recruits since our rebrand, with Art Director Kim Majkut commenting: "Finding people to work with OTE has been a dream since we started rolling out the rebrand. People are naturally drawn to it, creating very positive vibes!" 

A new brand identity and website making conservation less conservative for Nature's new digital media agency.
