BERG — Glasgow, UK

Whatever is required, from branding and identity to digital, editorial or environmental design – or, just as likely, an inter-disciplinary approach involving them all – Berg will tailor its approach to "work seamlessly across a wide range of media".

The German word for mountain is "berg" and, as an independent design studio based in the UK but boasting a global client base, Berg thought it would make an appropriate name for an outfit that aims high. Collaborating closely with clients and industry professionals to craft solutions that are "considered, engaging and effective", the firm claims that by listening to their clients' needs and aspirations, they set their goal "not only to meet the brief, but unashamedly to push boundaries and challenge perceptions".
