Amazing Wonders
Branding & Publication Design new Travel Guide
Amazing Wonders is a small independent UK team focusing on the travel sector, who required a full travel brand design for a series of luxury travel guides aimed at independent travellers. Each guide features outstanding destinations, exceptional hotels and fabulous restaurants with valuable tips and local knowledge to enable you to plan a truly amazing travel experience. A new concept in luxury travel guides, Amazing Wonders has created a collection of brand new travel guides, designed for you to independently plan a truly exceptional, personal experience to faraway countries.
Established in 2014, Amazing Wonders endeavours to create a guide that gives the user a taste of a location and the tips and tools to explore on their own with fantastic knowledge only real research can provide. Amazing Wonders realised as a gap in the market for independent travellers who want a luxury experience, travelling to an itinerary pre-planned journey in style, but independently. Not following the usual tour group experience, but seeing the best, the Amazing Wonders have to offer.

Outcomes & Results
This is not a typical project, but a joint collaboration, working closely with the team to develop a full brand, products and marketing within a short period. We were closely involved in the creation of the content, in layout and photography, travel, and production of the publications, advising on every step and working together to release a high-quality publication in a short time. Finally working together, we approached large publishing houses and pitched the book in a finished and detailed form.
We worked closely with the author to realise his vision and create:
- Identity System for a high-end travel publication
- Identity and Branding Design for the international market
- Branding system that allowed the guides to approach both hotels, restaurants, airlines, investors and publishers.
- The Books have been designed and photographed to give a full sense of the luxurious journey.
