Vertex.

(01) — The challenge

The studio showed very clean buildings under a busy brand. The identity competed with the architecture instead of presenting it.

(02) — The idea

We removed everything that wasn’t needed. The symbol is a vertex: two planes meeting, just like in their projects.

(03) — The system

One typeface, lots of white space and raking-light photography. The printed portfolio uses uncoated paper and gray ink.
