Their brand identity work for South Australian photographer Peter Ahrens—which included a new logo-type, website and stationery set—really stood out for its use of a weighty fluorescent white material choice and tactile print process to enhance a reductionist single font approach.
The project is accompanied by a great write-up, published below, that brings to the forefront the level of physical detail and nuance which underpins what is a limited set of assets to complement Peter’s philosophy and offer contrast to the detail of his work which will be appropriately positioned at the heart of communication. To some this will seem basic but to those familiar with material weights, letterpress print finishes and hierarchical communication this is a solid example of a contemporary restraint.

Design studio Heydays created a new brand identity for the firm based around a geometric M symbol built from the initials of their two main services, architecture and interiors. Executed as a combination of blind deboss and die cut detail across a earthy and urban mix of brown and warm grey uncoated boards and fabric, and alongside a contemporary white ink print finish and grid-based layouts, the result is a modernistic reduction of form but expansion of meaning surrounded by a familiar architectural utility, form and texture.

Influenced in part by her childhood spent on a horse ranch in Uruguay, the collection embodies Gabi’s soft femininity, adventurous gaucho spirit and South American roots. We [RoAndCo] conveyed this spirit throughout all iterations of the company’s branding—from business cards and lookbooks to art direction and campaigns—through elements like a swooping gold logo and lush leather packaging.”
