Vaughan Williams Foundation

Website
Branding

The Vaughan Williams Foundation is a new charity dedicated to providing information and education on Ralph Vaughan Williams and his wife, Ursula Williams, as well as supporting the work of British composers through grants.

HdK created a new website for the Vaughan Williams Foundation for the launch of the 150 year anniversary of the accomplished composer’s birth.

Ralph Vaughan Williams remains one of our most popular composers, with The Lark Ascending regularly voted the UK’s favourite classical work.

We designed the website to serve as a hub for all information on Ralph Vaughan Williams, integrated with an extensive database of letters and works. The site acts as reliable and rich resource for research and education.

It was important that the website was accessible and easy to navigate, so the HdK Web Team ensured the build was particularly attentive to this, with a simple, streamlined formate that allows users to easily explore and find relevant information.

Branding

HdK were also very pleased to design a sleek new brand identity to reflect the composer’s values to be used across the website, social media and stationery. 

This project saw the merge of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust and the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust to make the present Vaughan Williams Foundation. HdK welcomed the challenge to bring the pieces of these two organisations together to create a memorable and distinct new identity through vibrant and contemporary design.
