Special Edition Books - By Hachette UK

Special Edition Books (SEB) is a new initiative from Hachette UK, a leading book publishing group operating across the world.

With 10 publishing houses and over 250 years of history, SEB wanted to connect directly with book lovers to help them more easily buy new special and limited edition books for their shelves and collections. They needed help creating a new brand identity that reflected their business personality and style. Krishna Solanki Designs was the appointed design partner to create the visual identity and corresponding digital design assets.
KSD designed a full-fledged visual brand identity along with a bespoke brand styleguide which enabled the Special Edition Books team to stay consistent and professional going forward. The visual identity presents a strong and recognisable brand. The trusted KSD process ensures all deliverables are met to a high standard and provided in time to support the national launch.
The project has seen wide success throughout the business, with the branding and design being well received by staff and clients.
The Special Edition Books team were using up precious time and money on translating their design and content when building the website. Now, with the use of the brand guidelines, the team are praising the well-throughout design system, which not only saves them time building the website but helps keep business costs down.

“It was a pleasure working with Krishna on a branding project for a new initiative being launched by Hachette UK. Her well-defined process made sure that we stayed on track and on time, while her design flair meant she delivered to the brief - we're delighted with the outcome! She took the time to fully understand our needs and developed a real passion for the project. A real joy to work with - thanks again, Krishna!”
