The National Landscapes rebrand is delightfully imperfect

Here in the UK our conservation areas are highly important but often overlooked. The 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (AONB) brand has been long forgotten, suspended in a loose natural theme that felt unconnected and a little bland, but after a recent rebrand, the natural collective has undergone a delightfully colourful metamorphosis. 

The modern refresh comes as an effort to update and unify the 39 separate identities, making the brand feel like a contemporary and inclusive space for everyone to experience nature. (For more inspiration, check out our collection of the best logos of all time).
