From functional principles to philosophical concepts, we order in a graphic design a full line of brand experience.
It was a complex project, based on all of the principles pre-established by Allnorth.
With such responsibility in hand, the work started by dissecting the brief and understanding it deeply, to the essence of the Brand.
The initial concept of the symbol, was in a way to represent the company’s name directly, working with its philosophical significate, where everyone seeks to find its north, whether in life or in navigation, the North is a reference point, and Allnorth offers All of North. The thoughts for the symbol’s construction are vast and among them, are the following inspirations: Everything comes from a compass; a sign that represents the union between the Client and Allnorth; an arrow that represents the initial of the name, and indicates North. The outcome is a symbol of extreme simplicity, after all, we are “Clean & Uncomplicated VS Cluttered and Busy”.
