Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The brand identity was developed to inspire a high level of sophistication. Most of the studios projects are somewhat related to elegant, high class projects. The logo is a monogram with the combination of the letters V and W in a classy serif outlined fashion. The brand pattern was created by taking the letters of the slogan design "Be Exclusive." and spreading them out in a organic, almost random order. Playing with outlined and filled out properties.
- Inspiration
- Victor Weiss Studio is a high-end internacional design agency. The target audiance is medium-small companies and people with high purchasing power. The studio usually undertakes one or maximum two projects at a time, in order to give the clients the full exclusive attention and capacity into delivering extream high level designs. The visual identity had have the exclusive look and feel.
- Research
- The brand culture is to be organised and in control, leadership focused. The brand voice is lower speech, deep baritone. The brand experience is sophisticated, very professional and structured. The brand's archetype is The Ruler. The Ruler's purpose is to be a role model. Taking control and being motivated by maintaining high standards and priding itself on being a industry leader. They want to create an environment of prosperity, security and stability. They are a big believer that rules are meant to be kept and that policy and procedures are necessary to maintain order.
- Challenge
- How to standout in a world with millions of other design studios and designers? One word, exclusivity. To create a brand that people would be excited to work with, clients will feel that they are "lucky" to engage with. A company that hand-picks its projects, and maintains a incredible high level standard portfolio. The most complex task of the project was to express this visually. But with a combination of black, white, gold, fancy textures, custom fonts, a powerful slogan and extream minimalism we were able to create something that delivers exactly what was briefed in the early stages of the project.
