Brand Identity

Friday, 3 April 2026

Sxdesign

Sxdesign is a brand identity created for a design studio based in Beijing, China. Every detail of the logo follows a 1:1.414 ratio, which gives the mark a compact and composed appearance. Small graphic elements in the corners recall quotation marks and frame the rectangles of the logo. The arrangement makes the mark symmetrical and suggests the citation, marking and interpretation of language and ideas. Through motion graphics, the logo can also grow into the traditional Chinese form of the studio name, linking tradition and modern design.

This typeface is developed with the designer in mind. Nel is a modern typeface with lots of options. The Regular version consists of Uppercase and lowercase letters, and quite a few other punctuation marks. The Nel Brickbuild is a playful stencil version and the Nel Dots is a dotted typeface. The Nel also has a light and heavy style with corresponding fun versions. Icons (an all icon font) has been its most recent member. There are nine options in total to mix and match while designing awesome prints, posters, logos, websites, or identities. One family. For designers.

Across

Across is a poster created for a digital art festival dedicated to the rock art of the Helan Mountains in China. The poster is printed on lenticular material. One image shows the original Helan Mountain motif and the other shows a modern digital version of the same motif. As the viewing angle changes, the ancient motif fades and the digital motif appears. The traditional image was painted with a mixture of ink, tea, gelatine and gold powder, applied by splashing to create a texture similar to rock. Across aims to preserve and share an endangered ancient culture.

Archadia

Archadia is a brand identity created for a higher education school of architecture based in Venice, Italy. The symbol is a stylized letter A, split into two solid volumes to suggest both stability and movement. The letter A stands for the brand name and also for academy, architecture and abitare, the Italian word for living. The form is built from an equilateral triangle inscribed in an isosceles triangle. The blue color reflects the institutional role of the school and the water of the Venice lagoon. The vector logo works on light and dark backgrounds.
