Visual Development
Inspired by the traditional liturgical calligraphy and modernist cinematic title cards, the logo balances the past and future. It embodies our ethos of looking backward to move into the future.
The identity system was designed to accommodate a wide variety of mediums. A limited color palette and modular grid allowed s to tell a consistent story through 3 inch lanyards and 40 feet wide posters.
In motion, our deliverables were unified using a signature behavior: Refraction. All type ‘animates on’ in the same way and all visuals are treated using the same toolkit.
