Brand Design Projects in ColombiaBrand Design Projects in ColombiaThere are design decisions that don't come from the client. They come from within—and sometimes, that is exactly the problem.
The previous logo for Boroló Estudio had soul. It had pre-Columbian roots, a hand-drawn stroke, and an indigenous character. It evoked drums, authenticity, and the Chocó—one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich regions in Colombia, a land of jungle, rivers, and a visual identity unlike any other. I loved it. And precisely because of that, I failed to evaluate the challenges the logo would face on real-world platforms: on a website, as an Instagram avatar, or in digital spaces.
The redesign wasn't about letting go of the logo. It was about letting go of the attachment.
The problem wasn't aesthetic—it was one of coherence. The studio’s brand had evolved, but the logo hadn't. A composition with too many elements in tension made the icon struggle to be memorable; what people saw didn't connect with who Boroló truly is.
The new system retains the bird—now geometric, set in negative space within the icon. The inner container references the studio’s actual architectural blueprint: the diagonal of the cyclorama ceiling and the two zones of the space. The brackets refer to photographic framing. No layer imposes itself over the other—they are discovered.
The result is a versatile system: imagotype, vertical logo, and wordmark. It works on a sticker, a billboard, an avatar, or a website. It scales without losing its identity.
Redesigning doesn't mean the initial design was bad. It means communication needed to evolve. And from that point of view, the change isn't a correction—it’s a decision. VIKINGOS is a vibrant frozen dessert brand founded by two young siblings with a shared vision of creating refreshing, high-quality fruit treats that bring joy to every customer. Specializing in "Bolis"—a popular Latin American frozen dessert made from natural fruit blends and served in convenient frozen pouches—the brand combines tradition, creativity, and youthful entrepreneurship.
The goal of this branding project was to develop a bold and memorable visual identity that reflects the founders' adventurous spirit while standing out in a highly competitive market. Inspired by the strength and determination associated with Vikings, the logo features a distinctive emblem paired with bold typography, creating a modern identity that is both energetic and instantly recognizable.
The color palette was carefully selected to evoke freshness, fun, and confidence, making the brand appealing to children, teenagers, and families alike. Every element was designed to ensure versatility across product packaging, carts, freezers, uniforms, social media, promotional materials, and future retail locations. More than just a logo, this project established the foundation for a scalable brand capable of growing from a local family business into a recognizable name within the frozen dessert industry.
