Her visual identity, developed by creative design agency Studio Constantine, is a really interesting and unusual diagrammatic interpretation of a classic monogrammatic presentation of personal service. Its combination of fine line work, arrows, light geometric type, use of space and complete three-point structure conveys a closed system privacy, a full service proposition that brings together Renta’s linguistic experience of three languages and a technicality that implies a high level of ability.
The expanding and contracting application of the identity across the stationery and website introduces both a graphic and metaphorical flexibility while a bright yellow spot—its gradation delivering a sense of transition that resonates well with the theme of translation—across a cool concrete grey uncoated substrate achieves a distinctive, urban and contemporary sensibility.
The result is a smart contrast of individuality, energy and transition alongside practical experience, authority, reliability and a structured approach, executed with an appropriate restraint.
