CONTEXT GUIDES BRAND STRATEGY
Any identity project for a government agency is hard: the outcome must speak to a broad audience while its creation is guided by a particular political perspective. They rarely last…
When the State Historic Preservation Office of Puerto Rico chose us to rebrand it, we aimed at creating an identity that could survive the test of time. Spanish-Colonial influence meets a modern detail in a logo composition that uses window louvers to communicate the pluralized setting in which SHPO locally operates. Typographic offers enough contrast in language and statement, while abstract patterns the complete graphic language.
