Sherwood
Forest
Brand identity for an iconic forest, home to ancient oaks and legendary characters. We captured the spirit of the forest and the ideals of its new guardians, the RSPB, to deliver a brand that will take root and grow, defining the place and inspiring visitors for years to come.
What was involved:
- Brand strategy
- Visual identity
- Web design
- Wayfinding
- Interior
The essence of the brand “Where Legends Grow”, captures the magic of Robin Hood, the majesty of the forest’s oaks and presents the forest as a place to discover, explore and leave with new memories and tales to tell.

From the start of our work with Cafeteria at Sherwood, the time, effort and energy that they have put into the project has been second to none. It is great to work with a team that are constantly looking to go the extra mile in order that the project not only achieves its outcomes but exceeds them wherever possible. The expertise that Cafeteria demonstrated throughout the project has given me the confidence that our continued work together will achieve amazing results.
