Talbot Village Trust

A welcoming web presence and fresh new identity highlighting the mission of a charity dedicated to giving.

Talbot Village Trust have been supporting South East Dorset communities for over 150 years. We worked with them to build a new brand system that is warm, playful and distinctive. Vibrant colours and shapes adapt to different types of content and touchpoints — subtly referencing the Trust’s story. The tone strikes the right balance between their history and future vision.

Their wealth of information is organised in a user–friendly structure, designed to grow. The site is centred around the Trust’s mission and impact. Users can explore impact stories, access grant opportunities and learn about the Trust’s rich heritage.

We developed a refreshed brand system and visual language. This approach has significantly enhanced TVT’s visibility and accessibility, allowing them to communicate with a broader audience. They are able to attract new partners, donors and generate community interest while clearly presenting their story and mission.

“This fresh approach has helped in terms of accessibility, as our vibrant and friendly branding helps us reach into communities and connect with new people. Eight Arms’ attention to detail throughout the wireframing, design and development of the new website has also meant that we’re able to enhance our online presence by sharpening up copy, content, and visuals, while more fully showcasing key elements of our mission, purpose, and values.”
