Nickelodeon UK Hires Fluid Graphic Designs For Creative Projects

From The Drum:

Fluid wins work with Nickelodeon, Universal Music and Turner

A host of new high-profile projects for Fluid
Birmingham creative agency Fluid has revealed that it has been working with entertainment giants Nickelodeon, Universal Music and Turner.

Universal Music appointed Fluid to develop the artist identity, album art and campaigns for stars Taio Cruz, Dappy and Tynchy Stryder.

Kids' TV company Nickelodeon handed the agency a corporate identity brief which included interior brand design for its new flagship building in Camden. Other projects include branding, merchandise and media packs for Nickelodeon brands such as Dora the Explorer.

And working on Turner's T Classic network late last year led to Fluid being appointed to work on the broadcaster's Turner Kids spring/summer press kits.

Fluid’s creative director, James Glover, said: "We’re thrilled to add three world class brands to our client portfolio. 2012 is shaping up to be another exciting year of growth for the team."
