The entire branding process for TAKEOFF from concept to various designs was created by ICON. Originally the University of Malta approached ICON with the concept of a business incubator. An identity brand and name did not yet exist. ICON researched the values colours symbols and language that evoke the correct emotions both from a psychological and design point of view and created what is now known as TAKEOFF.

A new website for TAKEOFF was essential. Built on open source technology TAKEOFF’s website is fully portable and can be moved to any server or infrastructure. The website is fully responsive and can be viewed with ease on all technologies including mobile and tablet platforms. The typical social media touch points and various pages of content are also available. A secure member login section allowing users to create and maintain a profile create share and access documents while communicating easily with individuals or groups as needed.

Commenting on this project Dr. Gege Gatt – one of ICON’s directors – stated: “It gives us great personal pleasure to work with entities who place research and innovation at the centre of their success. TAKEOFF has been one such project and the energy exuded by Ben McClure and his team has been truly infectious. We built a brand identity for one of Malta’s most exciting entities and have been entrusted to work on the related web technologies. This is a perfect demonstration of ICON’s ‘full-lifecycle’ service which takes the customer from the very beginning of the business journey to the position of a stable and exciting launch platform.
