The brand differentiation strategy using visual graphics is impressive. Depending on who you choose to represent your brand identity, your strategy can change, but I think they cleverly focused on how this brand would feel when placed alongside other milks. The most […]

Wise Rebranding: This is a truly global design

Wise is a British company that provides international money transfer and remittance services. Previously known as 'TransferWise', it recently rebranded as 'Wise' in collaboration with design studio Ragged Edge. It is a global, beautiful, and bold branding.

It is designed to be understood by anyone in the world with just visual images while providing a fresh expression that breaks the boringness of the existing. The most striking thing is […]

It is a wonderful font, as expected from Hyundai Department Store, which is serious about design. The light yet playful form gives a light accent when reading the letters, and it feels like humming. The gray and bright color palette that reminds us of Hyundai are exquisitely combined. When expressing happiness, the form can become simple, but Hyundai’s […]

Innisfree Rebranding: The thick green of Jeju Bijarim has disappeared.

Innisfree has unveiled its new logo. We launched a new brand slogan, ‘Effective, Nature-Powered Skincare Discovered from the island.’ It is said that by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, it contains an energetic and confident image and the value of respecting beauty.

I appears excessively small compared to n, S protrudes up and down from the center, and ree grows suddenly. Innisfree is based on Yeats’ poem “The […] ]
