Rebranding sees bank dubbed NCB

HONG KONG - Nanyang Commercial Bank has kicked off a major rebranding, targeting a younger demographic by positioning itself as a regional bank with China expertise.

Now known as NCB, the bank enlisted TM&N Design and Brand Consultants to carry out the revamp, which includes new brand architecture and logo. “The new corporate signature conveys a more contemporary and international touch, while the Chinese calligraphy logotype reflects NCB’s heritage and expertise in China market,” explained TM&N managing director Leila Nachtigall.

TM&N has also helped the bank extend its new brand across its entire customer presence, including collaterals, counter and directional signage, window displays and branch ambience.

Design shop Kidult, meanwhile, created a print campaign running in business-oriented newspapers such as Hong Kong Economic Journal, Hong Kong Economic Times and Ming Pao.

TM&N secured the business following a pitch against four other agencies. The rebranding will extend across NCB’s 42 global offices.
