Cardboard Stage | Creative Agency Branding & Visual Identity System

Most creative agencies look the same before you see a single piece of work. The brand itself never communicates the energy or edge the studio actually brings.

We designed Cardboard Stage's full visual identity system for a motion-first creative agency that needed a brand as dynamic as the content it produces. PP Neue Machina Inktrap is the primary typeface; black and white are the base, and orange is the single disruptive accent. Every decision made to hold across digital, print, and physical touchpoints.
