The Keyholding Company – Proud Creative

We are Proud Creative. We create work that makes our clients and everyone at the studio proud. It’s the reason for our name.

Our work with The Keyholding Company

The Keyholding Company is the UK’s number one key holding and alarm response specialist. Their innovative approach to connecting a network of regional providers means they consistently deliver faster response times than the competition. But their visual identity, messaging and tone-of-voice weren't a good reflection of where they sat in the market. The new strategy and identity is grounded in communicating the balance of having the right people supported by the best technology.

The logo

At the heart of The Keyholding Company identity is a logo designed as two interlocking parts, with a safe and secure connection. The form has an energy that speaks to the dynamism of a networked business. And most straightforwardly, it resembles the K of the company name.

Partnership

Much of the best work The Keyholding Company does is in collaboration with others — whether that's client relationships, or by working in partnership with less specialised security companies. The new logo and associated lock-ups gives the company the confidence to sit comfortably alongside the largest brands in the UK and to celebrate the relationships they've been successfully building for twenty years.

Colour

Orange is retained from the previous identity, keeping hold of some good equity and providing great stand out in a sector dominated by reds and blues. Used confidently it communicates energy and urgency; can signal comfort and warmth; and it's great for visual impact.

Photography

Photography has been key to striking the right visual note. Capturing great people at the heart of a technology enabled business — working together to make their clients feel safe and secure, night and day.
