Loot is a surf and lifestyle store retailing distinctive products for a modern and global consumer and offers an alternative to the more commercial items from retailers typically found in its touristic location in the Mexican city of Zihuatanejo. Loot’s brand identity, designed by Savvy, draws its character and distinction from Zihuatanejo’s past as a hotspot for pirates, and visualised as a combination of regional historical elements and modern pop culture, allowing it to be relevant to both the local community and international shoppers.

KITTE, a play on the Japanese word “kitte” literally meaning “postage stamp” in English, is a new seven-floor restaurant and retail destination located in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district that opened its doors on March 21st, 2013. Housed within JP Tower—the site of the landmark central post office building—KITTE will play an instrumental role in revamping the historic area as the first commercial facility of the now privately held Japan Post company.

Pact is a co-branded venture and partnership between like-minded businesses located in Singapore’s Orchard Central shopping centre. The venture’s visual identity, created by design agency Acre, contrasts the geometry, square terminals and single line weight consistency of a custom ampersand (a simple and universal unifier) and the broadly spaced, neutral sans-serif characters of the logo-type with the organic, dual colour marble finish, uncoated, unbleached material choices, stickers and wood of the collaterals. A simple fusion of fashion and contemporary arts and crafts cues that binds a variety of retailers and services under the themes of evolving, natural and collaborative process and good quality personal service.
