A logo is one thing. Giving it a whole personality is another. 👀
I picked a few of my branding projects to show what happens beyond the logo.
First, the logo on its own. Then, the full visual identity: colours, typography, graphic elements, patterns, packaging, and all the little details that make each brand feel like itself.
Because I don't want a logo to just look good sitting on a presentation slide. I want to see what it can become when it gets out into the real world.
Every project has a different story, personality, and visual direction. And that's probably my favourite part of brand design: figuring out how to turn one initial idea into a whole visual language.
Swipe through and meet the logos, then their bigger personalities. ;)
A logo is the starting point. The fun really begins after that.

tyyy 😊
Clever use of the lightning bolt in the EMS logo!
Thank you! We wanted a simple mark, but very recognizable :D

the project is almost finished, and i should be wrapping everything up next week.
it’s been a fun one to work on, especially seeing how the initial concept has evolved into a complete visual identity.
excited to share the final result soon :)
For the first time, I'm holding something I created for my own brand.
Meet TACT. 🖤
For years, I've been designing identities and building brands for others. But I've always wanted to build something of my own.
This is our first product.
From the initial idea to the branding, colours, materials, and finally getting it out of the mould, every little step has been a learning experience.
It's not perfect yet, and there's still a lot to figure out. But holding the first finished piece feels different.
TACT is just getting started. And this is only the beginning.
More soon.
Going from designing for clients to making your own physical product removes the option to defer decisions. Did the material or the mould force any change to the TACT wordmark that you wouldn't have made on screen?
A brand identity inspired by the Florida Keys.
