Fruitist

At Fruitist, we believe that fresh berries are more than just a product – they’re a burst of flavor, health, and nature. The branding is designed to capture this essence, blending vibrant colors and organic textures to evoke a sense of freshness, vitality, and sustainability. Every element, from the logo to the packaging, reflects the purity of nature and the joy that comes with enjoying handpicked, premium berries.

Daring Ventures

A bold brand and website for Daring Ventures, an investment company ready to shake up venture capital. Inspired by analog pixel concepts, a blend of unexpected animations with a vivid, bright color palette—think daring pinks, electric blues, and radiant yellows—that pop with retro flair and pop culture energy. Paired with smart user interactions, this striking style delivers a fresh, original presence that commands attention in a crowded field.

E1 by Ericsson

Entertainment, gaming, and control for everyone!

We worked with Ericsson North America to design an all new, next-generation experience platform.

Defining the products, design the user experience (UX), create the brand, and devise a go-to market strategies.

Between gaming, streaming, smart home, and social media markets, we were challenged with appealing to a myriad of persona types seeking a variety of features. Branding and communications needs to be flexible enough to work with a variety of global partners.

We molded a positioning and communications strategy that is flexible and appeals to shared wants and needs shared across a broad spectrum of customers—ease of use, value, adaptability, a better life at home and an integrated media experience.

Pier-Sixty-Six

We honed the brand essence and created comprehensive brand and TOV guidelines, to ensure the brand worked across all three sub-brands: the superyacht marina, the waterfront residences and the new resort. A logo had already been designed, but we crafted a revised version to accentuate stability and harmony. 

In the substantial brand guide, we gave clear direction in terms of look, feel and voice. We then created new websites, brochures, and extensive marketing materials.

We created a rich working language of visual tones and textures, and drew up parameters for colour palettes and photo shoots (both lifestyle and products). We built an extensive collection of signature icons, as well as advising on placemaking and on-site signage.

We designed, wrote and produced high-caiber printed materials, from perfect-bound brochures for prospective buyers, posters and extras for on-site events during the Miami Grand Prix, along with extensive stationery. We also devised innovative gifts and in-room extras for resort guests.

Primary

Primary.Health started out as a volunteer effort in a little California town and has grown into a high quality, scalable all over the country operation when it comes to prevention, testing and vaccination of airborne disease. Our task was to make their brand identity catch up and take that same big leap.

People are at the heart of what they do. The brand ID, concept and design system had to be people-centered, warm and playfully flexible to talk to both a company or a family.
