汤姆 & 迪克的 takes its name from two iconic figures in the history of ‘Cottonopolis’, eighteenth century textile printer, 托马斯·霍伊尔, and Richard Arkwright, who introduced the first steam driven textile mill in Manchester.
The name was devised by Truth in response to the newly created textile business’s location on the site of 托马斯·霍伊尔’s old print works within Manchester’s landmark Mayfield regeneration district. Mayfield is where 托马斯·霍伊尔 established the Mayfield Print Works and mastered methods of printing colours, in particular purple,
Truth’s brief was to create a bedding brand that could “redefine Manchester's cotton history, learning from the past and refreshing it for the future to enhance the consumer sleep experience.”
The branding positions 汤姆 & 迪克的 as experts in educating consumers about the vital importance of bedding in achieving a good night’s sleep, while simplifying traditional textile narratives about the essential ingredients for a quality cotton sheet.
Truth’s core branding proposition is built around the concept that 汤姆 & 迪克的 believes in bedding made simple, with options to suit diverse tastes and seasonal requirements.
Truth’s work for 汤姆 & 迪克的 includes brand design and strategy, tone of voice. Deliverables include a custom typeface and logo, with an abbreviated motif.
Truth have produced iterations of its 汤姆 & 迪克的 branding for use on stationery, 包装, 样品包, 大手提袋, typemark and naming conventions, while achieving the founders ambition for zero plastic 包装. Truth also selected a colour palette for the brand, including 汤姆’s Purple (Pantone 2695); Purple Foil (Pantone 6081); and 迪克的 Blue (Pantone 642).
