Welcome to the latest version of www.thetin.net, strictly speaking it's version 2.0 but 2.011 felt more appropriate!
Building on the success of last year's rebranded and restructured website we've taken onboard feedback from both internal and external sources to deliver an evolution of our launch site.
We love our new brand identity created by our design guru, Shaggy and having lived with it for six months we grew to understand it better, how it works, where it works and what works well with it.
It is a very bold marque which led us to reconsider our font choice across the website, the font we launched with, the fantastic Komika Poster whilst perfectly on brand is pretty dynamic in it's own right. We decided a more classic face would compliment the marque better but still work with our "graphic novel" foundation.
After much deliberation we settled on Gotham (appropriate name for a start!) from New York typographers Hoefler & Frere-Jones. Whilst a classic typeface there is a personality that works well with our unique brand identity.
Many of the graphical elements through out the site, keylines, boxes have been tightened up whilst preserving the original grid layout.
We've introduced a heap more content from an updated blog, built on our core technology base ASP .net, our new BlogEngine should be far more compatible than our previous WordPress solution. We've given Tinnovation, the identity it deserves, even nubbin has had a face lift! A wealth of new projects in the Work area have been added and make sure you check out the People page to meet our new team members.
We sincerely hope you like our updates and would appreciate any feedback and comments below.
Thanks
TheTin Team
