THE BRIEF
Start with
the right idea.
The goal: Build a visual identity that feels coherent from first impression to small details.
The challenge: A logo by itself is not a complete identity. Brands need a practical set of choices that keeps every touchpoint consistent.
The creative direction: NOIRÉ is a fictional boutique lifestyle brand concept. Its proposed identity pairs restrained typography with an ink, bone and muted brass palette, then applies those choices to packaging and digital touchpoints.
