Mountsandel is the site of the oldest known settlement in Ireland, dating back to the Mesolithic period around 10,000 years ago. Located near the River Bann in Coleraine, it holds immense historical and archaeological significance. The Mountsandel Discovery and Heritage Group (MDHG), is a constituted voluntary community organisation founded in March 2017. Their aim is to increase public understanding and awareness of the uniqueness and significance of the history and heritage of Mountsandel, Coleraine and the River Bann corridor.
Since 2017 MDHG has led, delivered and participated in numerous outreach activities and local projects designed to increase understanding and awareness of Mountsandel, working with various stakeholders and delivering learning resources and experiences for their local communities.

For this project, we worked alongside MDHG to create and develop a refreshed Brand Identity that would elevate their presence and better communicate the importance of the Mountsandel site.

Our focus was to develop an identity that appealed to a younger educational demographic while remaining relevant and accessible to a corporate audience. The goal was to blend historical and modern aesthetics, reflecting the unique cultural heritage of Mountsandel.
