Thou Ārt: Brand Identity and Guidelines

Thou Ārt needed an identity that matches how we work: elegant, precise, human. This rebrand introduces a logo family with wordmark and symbol, a restrained palette, a clear type pairing, and a simple graphic style built from classical cues. We translated those choices into brand guidelines with plain rules, do and don’t examples, and partnership lockups that keep balance and spacing.
The post includes short clips that show the logo in motion, newly designed website, the graphic style in use, and a quick walkthrough of the guidelines. Applications span web (desktop and mobile), case study slides, stationery, business cards, and a large-format OOH billboard. The result is a clear, consistent identity across digital and print that reduces revisions and speeds delivery.
Design for human connection with consideration and innovation.
Thou Ārt partners with people who build for humanity.

Brand Guidelines

Brand Guidelines deliverables include a PDF guide and asset kit ready for collaborators. The outcome is a calm, museum-grade identity that holds up across web, print, and social without heavy art direction.
