brand equals pattern

 

It all started when...

We found ourselves creating graphic design with depth for some of the most influential product designers and manufacturers in the built environment. That graphic design evolved into designing compassionate, prosperous and sustainable brands. We work to deliver authentic brand identities and messages to the forefront of your customers' minds. We do this in six steps with Brand Equals Pattern.

Brand Equals Pattern in six phases

Brand Equals Pattern in six phases

A brand pattern creates more value than repetition. It provides coherence between disparate mediums and continued relevance that can adapt and respond to its audience. A brand pattern connects a product to an experience and an audience, allowing the brand to continually grow.
