This is a structural study. Every name, image and line of copy on it is invented.

An identity that holds at every size

The brief

A wordmark, a grid and a photographic register that survive a shopfront, a phone and a ninety second film without a second system underneath.

What we changed

The placeholder paragraph that would carry the decision, what it replaced, and why the replacement was the cheaper of the two options over a year.

What stayed

The placeholder paragraph naming what was already working, so the write up reads as judgement rather than as a list of everything that was touched.

Result

A placeholder result, written as one sentence a reader could repeat to a colleague from memory, with the number attached to it.
