The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is run from its international headquarters building in central London. Formerly a foreboding brick carbuncle, its new building was designed to follow its own aim to be transparent, evangelical and frugal. This was being executed in the architecture, designed by Sheppard Robson.

We were commissioned to provide building graphics in keeping with the rest of the scheme.

The position of their building provides them with five million passers-by a year, being between St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millennium bridge, so we suggested a way to engage with the public. Uplifting bible quotes adorn the glass on the building.

We introduced transparent coloured vinyl to do this, partly so as not to cover up what had been designed by the architects to be transparent, but also to allude to its evangelical nature – it looks like stained glass.

We were also briefed to design a commemorative book as a keepsake for honoured guests and staff attending the launch. The book is printed on bible paper and uses transparent pages to help communicate how the building was conceived.
