We wanted to help colleagues to recognise the Digital Humanities Hub; to tie the various things that the Hub is involved in (such as events, presentations and resources) together; and to tie ourselves more closely to the Library, where we are based.<\/p>\n<p>After meeting with the Creative &amp; Print Services team, we put together a list of keywords that could inform the imagery in our branding. These included \u2018Digital Humanities\u2019, \u2018Arts and Humanities\u2019, \u2018Digital Technology\u2019, \u2018Interdisciplinarity\u2019, \u2018Research Innovation\u2019, \u2018Collaborative Research\u2019, \u2018Open Research\u2019\u2026 I didn\u2019t think that it would be easy to come up with designs based on these quite abstract terms! We were all very excited when we saw the initial concepts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jo Stace (JS)<\/strong>: From the initial brief I knew that I wanted to create a graphical identifier &#8211; something that\u2019s not exactly a logo, but that can be used to identify the Hub. It needed to be something that gave a sense of what the Hub does, but that also looked visually pleasing. This bespoke graphic could then be used across various materials to create a visual identity. I also thought it was important to find imagery that could be used by the Hub to give the feeling of data and digital technology. This process started with a search of our stock image library.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some elements of the design needed to follow particular guidelines. The typography needed to fit within University branding, and the colours needed to come from the Library \u2018rainbow\u2019 branding to create a link between the Hub and the Library.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2033\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/UoR-Library-branding-1024x321.png\" alt=\"Left: UoR Library Lockup (reads 'University of Reading Library'.

I wanted to represent this with lines that start off \u2018hand drawn\u2019, then move into a precise digital shape which forms a circuitry graphic.<\/p>\n<p>Concept 2 \u2013 Network and Nodes: For this concept I wanted to play on the idea of connection, both in terms of the Hub connecting people and their work, and the idea of data connection and digitalisation.<\/p>\n<p>Concept 3 \u2013 Pixel Patterns: This third concept looked at using basic shapes to represent pixels (again focusing on the digital element of the Hub\u2019s work), but creating a flow with the shapes to reflect the human nature of data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2018 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/graphical-identifiers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1379\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/graphical-identifiers.jpg 1379w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/graphical-identifiers-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/graphical-identifiers-1024x301.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/graphical-identifiers-768x226.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Three concepts for graphical identifiers for the DH Hub<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: The Network and Nodes concept was a favourite with the Hub team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rachel Lewis (RL)<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/about\/about-the-dh-project\/\">From the beginning, the Hub\u2019s role has been as a focal point that connects lots of different people and teams<\/a>. This design represents who we are and what we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: We also enjoyed the relationship between the Pixel Patterns and the Library\u2019s rainbow block. So we asked Jo if we could proceed with both concepts (2. Network and Nodes and 3. Pixel Patterns).<\/p>\n<p><strong>JS<\/strong>: Once the two options had been chosen, I wanted to develop imagery to fit with the graphical element. It became clear that the images from the stock library were too dark for this project and sometimes too generic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: We wanted to strike the right balance between specific (e.g. images of 3D-modelled objects or text markup) and general (e.g. abstract representations of technology).<\/p>\n<p><strong>JS<\/strong>: I felt that a more bespoke graphic was needed. Starting with stock images, I was able to manipulate these and introduce the Library colours. I then had a graphic that I could use across multiple assets, and which the Hub team could use to create a visual link between their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2075 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/hub-imagery-1-300x193.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/hub-imagery-1-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/hub-imagery-1-1024x660.png 1024w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/hub-imagery-1-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/hub-imagery-1.png 1127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><em>Custom imagery for the DH Hub<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: This imagery that Jo designed matches the concept of \u2018Hub\u2019 or \u2018Network and Nodes\u2019 in the graphical identifier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RL<\/strong>: It also has the look and feel of the output of social network analysis, so it ties in with DH research as a theme too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: Looking at the graphics alongside the imagery, the Hub team chose to move forward with this Network and Nodes concept.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JS<\/strong>: From this point I was able to use mock-ups of how the visual identity would work on pull-up banners, leaflets, web banners and presentations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2052\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/pullup-banner-mockup.png\" alt=\"Banner reads: 'Digital Humanities Hub' 'Enabling research innovation by providing sustainable support for Digital Humanities'\" width=\"238\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/pullup-banner-mockup.png 299w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/pullup-banner-mockup-119x300.png 119w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2080\" src=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/web-banner-mockup-1-300x197.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/web-banner-mockup-1-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/web-banner-mockup-1-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/2024\/08\/web-banner-mockup-1.png 871w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Mock-ups of a pull-up banner and web banner<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>DK<\/strong>: It was very exciting for the Hub team to see these mock-ups.

The manuscript was produced in Italy (or South Germany?), c.1475.<\/p>\n<p>Including this in the branding was not straightforward! It initially took me some time to find the part of the text which is about joy (letter 27) as opposed to the part which is about death (letter 26). There is also a scribal error in the text itself, which we wanted to avoid.

When will it be your lot to attain this joy? Thus far, you have indeed not been sluggish, but you must quicken your pace. Much toil remains; to confront it, you must yourself lavish all your waking hours, and all your efforts, if you wish the result to be accomplished.

Gummere<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: The branding exercise also prompted the Hub team to re-examine our tagline. We settled on \u2018Enabling research innovation by providing sustainable support for Digital Humanities\u2019. \u2018Enabling research innovation\u2019 is the motivation that underpins all that the Hub does, while \u2018sustainable support\u2019 means (to me) support that is integrated and embedded. For example, members of the Hub team are involved in the grant development process and in decisions about digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RL<\/strong>: One of the strands of the original DH Hub setup project was about sustainability, so we\u2019ve built a sustainable service from the start. Enabling sustainable research is key to everything that <a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/digitalhumanities\/about\/team\/\">Robert Darby and Guy Baxter, in the Hub team<\/a>, do around data preservation and storage, and that we all do around ensuring that research projects are planned and conducted in a way that enables the research and outputs to be accessible long term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chrissie Willis-Phillips (CWP)<\/strong>: It was important, also, that this tagline aligned well with the aims and ethos of the Library, and both enabling research innovation and sustainability are strategic goals that fit with the Library\u2019s mission to support research and teaching by providing services that reach all communities at the University. The tagline and the overall work of the DH Hub also contributes to the University\u2019s strategic aim to achieve excellence and sustainability. The production and promotion of innovative, open, and reproducible research is a key element of achieving this aim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: The branding exercise prompted other kinds of reflections on the Hub and its work too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RL<\/strong>: I was blown away when I first saw the Hub branding on the postcards and I felt a little bubble of pride for the whole team! We have worked together on the DH Hub project over the last three years (and a lot of work prior to that!) and it is amazing to see this representation of all the work we\u2019ve done to get from having no formal DH support to a cohesive and productive team. Huge thanks to everyone in the team, especially Roberta Gilchrist for having the initial vision, and continuing to drive the project forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DK<\/strong>: We are thrilled to have updated our website with the new branding, and look forward to using it at the events we run, in the presentations we give, and in the resources that we produce.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a great experience working with Jo and Creative &amp; Print Services on this.
