Project Summary
For this brand identity refresh, the challenge was to balance commerce with creativity creating a visual language that felt both structured and experimental. The previous logo was a simple font, lacking the distinctiveness the brand needed. Through workshops and collaboration, we established a direction that juxtaposed clean, contemporary design with a subtle sense of disruption. The new logo embraces this tension, pairing a refined typeface with a slight glitch effect to symbolise the push and pull between order and expression. A primarily black-and-white palette ensures sophistication, while soft cream tones add warmth, and bold red accents inject energy.
Typography played a crucial role in reinforcing the brand’s personality, with serif headlines bringing a sense of heritage and authority, while sans-serif body text ensured clarity and modernity. A key highlight of the identity is the brand icon, a static, glitched ‘C’ which became a striking and memorable mark. The result is a brand system that is polished yet dynamic, providing a strong foundation for future growth while capturing the brand’s essence.

Behind-The-Scenes
What goes into a design? Sometimes as much as this, sometimes more and sometimes a little less (although not as common). There is no set perimeters on how long it will take to get to ‘the final design'‘. This journey involved exploring several distinct directions. These alternative concepts, while not chosen as the final, represent a deep dive into the brand’s identity, allowing me to test how different visual metaphors, typography, and color palettes resonated with the target audience.
