Sometimes a small detail can shape the entire identity.
An architecture and interior design studio, wanted a brand that felt more approachable within the industry.
One small detail became key: the dot in the name.
Instead of keeping it perfectly geometric, we softened it. Made it more fluid. From there, it evolved into a linear form that helped shape the brand icon, reflecting the idea of transforming a space.
That same point, combined with textures, became a recurring element across the identity. A simple detail, but one that makes the brand feel more recognizable and cohesive.
Do you usually find concepts in small details like this, or start from something bigger?

The colors are so perfect!!!🔥 🙌
I've been lucky to be featured in a few books over the years, but when David Airey asked me to be in his new book, I jumped at the chance!
I've been a huge fan of his previous work, two of which I own.
Identity Designed: The Process
Identity Designed
So, to be in his new 'Logo Design Love - A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Marks' is nothing short of awesome!
If you're not already familiar with his, I recommend getting at least one. His books are the kind you buy for yourself and then end up gifting to everyone you know. Identity Designed and Identity Designed: The Process are industry staples that shaped how alot of us think about brand identity.
And if that wasn't enough, I'm placed right next to Paula Scher! I had to read that twice. 🙏
I can't wait to dig through these pages!
Placed next to Paula Scher in David Airey's new book - that's an absolute honour! Identity Designed is a must-have 🙌 Congratulations Alex, you've earned that spot!
Animation of card width and height changing on hover within a fixed-size container. Works great for displaying cases, clients, and other content on a website.
Wow, I like this. I’m working on a site and feel this could be a nice way of hiding and showing content. Great work!
