This year Finland celebrates its centenary and will mark the occasion with a broad programme of events created and supported by a wide range of stakeholders. Based around the theme of “Together”, and with the intention of creating a cohesive and useful system to unite events and initiatives from local councils and independent organisations and businesses, Scandinavian design studio Kokoro & Moi created “Finland’s Faces”, a brand identity made up of an extensive and diverse library of faces, drawn in a variety of styles.
With a desire to be inclusive Kokomo & Moi also developed an online platform and complimentary app with developer Great Apes as a strategic part of brand identity. This invites Finns and friends of Finland to participate and edit selfies into unique cartoons, to share these via the social media or submit these to be part of the ‘Finland’s Faces’ collection. These will be used as part of event communications throughout the year.
Alongside print communications and packaging, Kokoro & Moi also developed advertising and several other projects that make up Finland 100. These included product, spatial and interactive design, working in collaboration with Miltton Creative.

Total Variety Network (tvN) is a South Korean nationwide television network, founded in 2006, that offers a wide variety of general entertainment programming. tvN recently worked with Studio fnt on the creation of an offline visual identity for its store, expressed through its products, a mix of office stationery and furniture. These include adhesive notes and notebooks, pen and business card holders, wrapping paper, tote bags and tape, iPhone covers, tables and storage. There is broad variety to these yet they share a commonality in the use of simple geometric forms drawn from the angles of the tvN logo and interpreted both graphically and structurally.
