Visual Identity
TC & Friends were enlisted to refresh the grants branding and to advise on the repositioning of their core vision and values. The result is a bold new visual identity and website, celebrating the IPPG’s incredible thirty-year history while looking ahead to the future. The Grant is open to photographers 24 and under, or enrolled in a full-time photographic course.

In light of the organisation’s name change, two new logos were created for the Ian Parry. The primary logotype features the full title of the organisation set across four lines, creating emphasis on ‘photojournalism’ as the key aspect of the grant.
The secondary logo, features the grants initials as well as two corner elements that evoke the symbol of a camera viewfinder.
The IPPG’s palette is drawn from classic photography books, building on the rich history of print and photographic material.
Occasionally, when a pop of colour is needed to accent important information, a bright red is used, inspired by the stickers used to denote contact sheets.
