Brand identity

A mark that holds up when it moves.

Logo, color, type and the rules that keep them together. Drawn by a designer, built for web, print and packaging.

Five made-up Portland businesses live on this page. Scroll and their pieces come apart; every one is a vector you can push around. An identity has to survive being moved.

Type does half the talking.

Push the word around. Weight and width follow the cursor; on a phone the scroll does it. Each concept got one face and a reason for it.

How it gets made

01 Discovery

We start with what the business sells, who buys it and what they need to feel before they pay. The logo waits.

02 The mark

Three directions, drawn by hand first. One survives being shrunk to a favicon and stretched across a van.

03 Type

One face for headlines, one for everything else, and the sizes written down so nobody guesses later.

04 Color

Five swatches with names and codes, tested on a bad printer and a cheap phone before they are final.

05 The system

Cards, stickers, a sound for the door. Rules a new hire can follow on day one without asking.

Everything you get is on this page.

  • Sticker sheets. Drag it. It comes back the same, which is the whole point of a mark.

  • Hover me

    Custom cursor and hover rules. The small things a site does when nobody is watching.

  • Guidelines. A short PDF that says what to do, with the reasons, so it gets read.

  • Logo files. SVG, PNG, PDF, in every colorway, with the clear space drawn in.

  • Print. Posters, cards, labels, with the die lines ready for the printer.

  • Motion. A short loop for the site, the socials and the door screen.
