Geoscience reinvented: BGS unveils modern brand for a sustainable future

Founded in 1835, The British Geological Survey (BGS) is the publicly-funded body responsible for advising the UK government on all aspects of geoscience. Today, BGS employs over 650 staff across the UK, works with more than 150 private sector organisations, has close links to 40 universities and sponsors about 100 PhD students each year.


Following the launch of a five-year science strategy ‘Gateway to Earth’, BGS needed a modern brand and visual identity to reflect and support its vision for a safer, more sustainable environmental future.

What we did

I’m delighted to present a fresh identity for BGS that illustrates our passion, capability, and commitment... Our new look respects our heritage and history whilst reinforcing our position as an internationally respected organisation.
