What was the objective behind your collaboration?Our goal was to elevate Cardiff University’s brand to reflect its true standing as a top-tier institution. We wanted to unite the university behind a single, compelling message that would attract the best students and staff, while celebrating Cardiff’s unique Welsh heritage and community spirit.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?Working with Only has been a great experience from start to finish. Their ability to understand our vision and translate it into a powerful brand strategy was excellent. We were impressed by their thorough research, collaborative approach, and creativity. The new identity they developed not only modernised our look but also captured the very essence of what makes Cardiff special. Their attention to detail has made the whole process run smoothly.

What was the objective behind your collaboration?We wanted to revamp our visual identity to better reflect Pirate’s mission of making creative spaces accessible to everyone. With rapid growth and an expanding global presence, we needed a bold, adaptable brand that truly resonated with our audience of musicians, producers, and artists.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?Working with Only was a true pleasure. Their understanding of our brand’s core values and vision was spot on. They brought a fresh, creative approach that was simple yet impactful, always pushing the boundaries to deliver something unique. The team was collaborative, responsive, and truly invested in our success. The end result exceeded our expectations and helped elevate Pirate’s presence on a global scale.
