What is the company's profile
A verbal identity studio that designs brand language, naming, along with other communication materials.
What is the extent of tasks
A Brand Personality (Market Landscape Analysis, Current Brand Analysis, Industry Analysis, Corporate Culture Analysis, Company Analysis, Product/Service Analysis, The Big Idea, Brand Positioning, Brand Strategy, Brand Story, Brand Character).
B Brand Language (Domain Naming, Slogans/Claims, Key Messaging, Descriptor, Tagline, Brand Tone & Voice, Brand, Brand Statement, Brand Storytelling, Brand Anthem, Brand Sales Writing).
What are the objectives
A To design a distinct verbal identity that will demonstrate the competencies of the studio.
B To design a brand that is both minimalist and rich in hidden content.
How we achieved the objectives
ad A The calibre of the studio is conveyed through the artistry of language. Brand communication is minimal, encompassing only the name, slogan, experimental description, domain name, email address. This sets it apart from the verbose materials of the competition.
ad B To further legitimise the brand, the consciously typographical and visually appealing design utilises the contemporary serif typeface, GT Sectra, originally created for use in journalism publications.
