Celebrating Making In Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Makes is a cultural programme celebrating the history, present and future of making in Derbyshire. Across six locations, it brings free events that showcase creativity and culminate in a large Summer Festival, elevating the voices of the communities it serves.

Our identity adds colour and vibrancy to the towns of Derbyshire. The logo is a bold evolution of the council’s branding, while custom icons highlight the county’s rich history. At the heart of the identity is a mascot that adapts to its surroundings and brings an expressive, human energy that sparks curiosity and conversation.

" We were extremely impressed with Sanna's attention to detail, creativity, communication and how they worked with a complex brief.  They were quick to respond with innovative and thoughtful designs that were both in line with the brief and pushed the boundaries of what we thought were possible for the brand.​ "
