Nottingham Building Society - new logo and branding

simonsmithsays

Hoping this means they'll be launching a couple of half decent products rather than just paying for some buzz word bingo makeover about a 'fresh new look' that most of us don't care about.


We’re so excited to introduce Nottingham Building Society’s fresh new look, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity, progress, and community!

 

For over 175 years, we’ve been here to offer savings and mortgage services to support our customers’ individual journeys. And as times change, so do we. 

Our focus on customers and communities, and our commitment to inclusivity, will always remain the same. But our products are evolving to meet the changing needs of savers and borrowers across the UK.

We’re here to build a society where everyone is welcome, empowered, and secure. 

Welcome to a different kind of society.

What a load of old nonsense

Ooof. I'd be surprised if this means anything for the accounts it offers.

I fear you're correct....

What an awfully and expensive makeover which means absolutely nothing to their customers.

Oh dear.

Just had a quick look at the new website. 

To me, the layout of the website is fine and easily navigable, but the colours are gaudy and the whole thing doesn’t look targeted at business. Looks unprofessional, even childish. Just my opinion. 

But what about Beehive Money?

Hopefully it will soon vanish, and be replaced by online servicing of all Nottingham accounts.  (I can live with the colour scheme if we finally get that).

The rebrand has been in the pipleine for a while, which I understood would include the overall rename, and Beehive being dropped as a separate brand.

Interesting that they've gone back to being Nottingham BS rather than 'The Nottingham'. I also can't see any imagery of Robin Hood, not sure when the last time that was but this was the logo I grew up with:

Presumably they didn't want to drop Beehive until they'd made the parent brand a bit less stuffy?

What matters ultimately is the rates, hopefully there'll be something eyecatching when they bring over Beehive. Hopefully they take the opportunity to update their branch shopfronts too, many of which still have wording suggesting they offer Estate Agency services.

I doubt it was expensive.   You can argue it's distinctive, though.

I think you're right.

It's like a staff members kids art contest winner.

Any mention of online account access (or *gasp* an app)?

Not yet.

But interestingly the Notts BS site now has almost no mention of Beehive.
