Talawa, Jamaican patois for "small but feisty", is an all black theatre company that looked to address the lack of opportunities for minorities and their marginalisation at the time of its founding in 1986. Since then it has established itself as one of the most successful theatres of its type in the United Kingdom.

Talawa has a diverse portfolio of productions, from Shakespeare to African classics, Oscar Wilde to new Black British, and from Nobel-prize winning playwrights to musicals. Some of these have gone on to win awards, tour internationally, and have provided many of its staff and performers with the skills necessary to go on to develop successful careers in radio, film and television.

London based graphic design studio Spy worked with the theatre to develop a new brand identity and visual language that would help convey the theatre's powerful spirit. This went on to include an animated logotype, stationery, business cards, posters and website.
