BVD – Stories
Black, white and stainless steel. Urban environments require their meeting places. Places to sip the day’s first and last cup of coffee, and to take in the world at a glance. BVD gave Stories a graphic profile both pure and simple, contrasted by the personal and playful. A concept that reflects the city we live in.
L&Co – ABPI
The ABPI (The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry) needed to refresh their image of 40 years. L&Co worked to translate the strategy into a fresh new look. Based on the idea of smaller components collaborating to create something bigger, we designed the geometric trees inspired by an ancient medical symbol. L&Co then brought the tree to life across everything from signs to digital formats and print applications.
Anagram – Beliveo
The logotype is a three-dimensional abstract icon. The goal was to give the icon a tactile quality that would make it feel warm and friendly. The “sketching” process for said icon involved the making of sculptures and taking their picture in order to have a vivid reference. The brand’s colors reflect joy and serenity and are paired up with a very neatly arranged typography that gives it a professional and tech-saavy look. Designed by Anagram.
