LuxVisual identity

Lux, a well-established Finnish family business specializing in foundry and steel industries, asked us to redesign their brochures. As we got to know the company, it became clear that in addition to new brochures, they needed visual guidelines to unify and update their brand image. Together with the client we rethought the brief and decided to give the brand a proper facelift. Our most delicate task was to redraw the cogwheel symbol of Lux. The original logo dates back to the first half of 20th century, and though it was very much liked in the company, it was no longer answering the needs of expanding international business. The logo had to be polished to meet the technical requirements of new media, work equally well in latin and cyrillic alphabets – and most importantly, maintain the character and soul of Lux. In the redrawing process every detail was discussed carefully, from the number and shape of the cogs, to the curves of individual letters. The new symbol is a result of long discussions, intensive listening and extensive sketching. Besides refining the logo, we created simple guidelines for the visual identity, and designed stationary and brochure templates. The straightforward and stark aesthetics communicate what the company is about: reliability, longevity, effectiveness and tradition.

ModaMagazine redesign

nimiouser — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:00:33 +0000

Moda is Finland's biggest knitting magazine. It combines fashion with DIY. As handicrafts have been enjoying a vogue for a while it was time to update the brand to meet the demands of new audiences. We went for a young and strong look. The expressive logotype, inspired by loops of yarns, creates a feeling that it is woven into the magazine. The white frame helps the magazine stand out in the magazine shelf. Offering readers useful patterns and clear instructions is at the heart of Moda, but the new look also aims to inspire the readers to experiment with their style and skills. Moda’s own collection is featured as lifestyle feature stories that mix current trends with self-made garments. The fonts choices, expressive Arnhem and straightforward Akkurat, reflect the same bias – being stylistic forerunner while down-to-earth. The new logotype was drawn by Saku Heinänen.

OxygenolPackaging redesign

nimiouser — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:00:02 +0000

We redesigned the visual concept and logotype of a Finnish classic, the Oxygenol toothpaste from Berner. The brief was to change the toothpaste tube, a common household object into a design item, which you would happily put in a prime spot in your bathroom. Graphic production was done by Remes & Packart.
