Heat, then the lake — an identity for a lakeside sauna and cold-water club, built on the two halves of every visit.

The brief
Sauna clubs usually look like spa hotels or like gyms. VARM should feel like the place itself: warm wood, cold water, very few words.
What we did
The symbol is a sun cut by three lines of water — heat above, the lake below. Around it: a wide grotesque wordmark, a serif italic for the quiet lines, five colours taken from linen, stone, moss and clay, and applications from cards and the guest book to aroma bottles, wayfinding and posters.
