Constructed from a single, consistent line weight, rounded terminals and a monochromatic colour palette, the logo-type manages to resolve, albeit in an expected (but clearly communicative) manner, the themes of agricultural industry, commodity, simplicity and functionality. The additional cuts and sentence-case rather than uppercase characters give it a slightly more proprietary and accessible quality that in conjunction with the black and white colour palette perhaps references the marks of Holstein-Friesian cows. These contemporary utilitarian qualities have been appropriately tempered by the crafted, tactile finishes of die cut and uncoated material textures, hand stamps, a blind emboss, screen print, badges and stickers across the collaterals. Choices that introduce a sense of personal care and responsibility to the commoditised perceptions of the dairy industry.

Consistently good work from LoSiento. One of the nicest design agencies around in my opinion and produce fantastic work time and time again. I’ve been fortunate to see this work in the flesh and the care and attention to detail is exemplary.
Lo Siento is a recent find for me, glad to have stumbled upon their work and completely agree, some really interesting work coming out of their studio. Thanks for dropping by Dave.
