The project

A bookshop rebrand that started with the shopfront and ended with a newsletter people actually open.

Rebrand & signage

The brief

Pageturn had been on the same street for thirty years under three different names. The shop was loved, but the sign was faded, the website was a list of opening hours and events lived on a paper sheet by the till.

What we made

We kept the deep green the shop was already known for and gave it a confident new name and wordmark.

  • Hand-painted shopfront and window system
  • Shelf talkers and staff pick cards
  • A website built around events and recommendations
  • A weekly newsletter template written in the shop's own voice

What happened next

Footfall is up by more than a third and the newsletter is opened by most of the people who get it. Events now sell out ahead of time instead of on the night.

People stop outside now. They take pictures of the window, which they never used to do.
