Brand Identity

The core system — naming, voice, logotype, and a typographic palette with rules that hold as the brand grows. We design the parts that have to survive a decade of use, not a single launch.

The engagement

An identity engagement produces the spine of the brand: how it is named, how it sounds, how it is set. We treat the logotype as the last decision rather than the first — it should be the natural consequence of a voice and a typeface already chosen, not a shape the rest of the brand is asked to obey. The deliverable is a system a future designer can extend without calling us.

What it includes
  • Naming and verbal identity
  • Logotype and monogram
  • Typographic palette and type rules
  • Colour and a usage system
  • A written brand book
