One of the most iconic rebrands I've seen recently has to be Coca-Cola's rebrand by JKR.
It's been the talk of the design community, and for good reason.
This is proof that making a bold brand statement isn't about adding complexity—it's about mastering simplicity.
Simplicity makes a brand memorable, instantly recognizable, and gives it a clear, straightforward personality.
Less is more.
A note, though: Simple communicates luxury. Complexity often communicates uncertainty.
Kudos to the team at JKR for reminding us that the strongest brands don't always say more, they say the right thing with less.

ORBIS was built around a simple belief: every brand needs direction.
In an ever-changing communication landscape, businesses need more than visual appeal—they need a clear position and a recognizable presence. ORBIS was created as a creative studio focused on shaping that direction, transforming strategy, communication, and design into meaningful and lasting brand experiences.
Its visual identity is inspired by the concept of an orbit: a continuous path toward a purpose. The primary symbol represents an open trajectory, expressing movement, growth, and the pursuit of new opportunities. Every typographic decision reinforces that concept; from the open symbol to the upward motion embedded in the letterforms, the identity subtly communicates progress while maintaining clarity and balance.
Rather than creating logos, ORBIS develops visual systems that can evolve alongside the brands they represent. Whether through branding, digital experiences, environmental graphics, or communication, every element becomes part of a unified strategy.
Because design isn't the destination.
Direction is.
love this typography, it's so distinctive!
The Dream for our little studio of two was always to be a Café X Studio! Since this studio literally started with working together over coffee. We used the opportunity of participating in the Envato x Contra Challenge to make this dream come true!
~ JAA~GO is a play on two words with the same meaning. "Jaa" is Hindi for "Go." But read it together? "JAAGO" which means "wake up" in Hindi. A coffee and bagel brand that literally wakes you up and gets you going.
~ At first we used Envato only to create a Brand Kit and a Brand concept. With the extension, we were also able to create two launch videos!
It has been a fantastic experience using Envato to bring to life a concept so close to our hearts!
Looks really nice and engaging!
POV: It was 2021. As a second-year Finance student, I read about Chase Bank while learning how memorable brand names are created.
One lesson stuck with me: brands become more powerful when they can be used as verbs like "Google it."
That inspired me to create a fintech brand name, "Pursue".
As in, "Pursue your dreams."
Great looking identity!
