Visual identity

In this section you will find small and large identity projects, from logotypes to complex graphic systems designed over the years for a diverse range of clients. All creative processes of the different projects share a common thread: they aim to communicate clearly the client’s concept and personal view and to find during the research phase all the associations that may be triggered with a particular graphic choice.
