Brand & Digital Studio · Est. MMXXIV

Where visions become brands.

We give yours words, form and reach.

I — Position

Most people who come to us already know what they're building. What's missing is the words to explain it, the design to show it, and the reach to get it seen. That's the job. We listen until we understand it, then we run with it. What has only been yours becomes real to everyone who finds it.

II — Work

Recent work.

The Vault of Glory identity — a temple mark with a lit torch, and the words 'Vault of Glory · Be inspired, be empowered, be transformed' — mounted large on a building facade.

Building something like this?

Tell us your vision

  • Vault of Glory

    Vault of Glory arrived with a name and a feeling, and needed one mark to carry both, from a favicon to the front of a building.

  • Mascot Insurance Brokers

    An insurance brokerage set out to give its clients one place to open, and nothing else to need.

  • Athena

    ClassPulse set out to give EAL teachers in Alberta's K-12 classrooms their grading time back, with an AI that proposes every grade and a teacher who still decides it.

III — Approach

Vault of Glory

How we work.

  1. Understand.

    Before we design anything, we learn what you're building and who it's for. For Vault of Glory, the whole identity came from two words: a vault, and glory.

  2. Shape.

    Then we find the form. Columns holding a vault. Fire on the altar. No colour until the idea works without it.

  3. Build.

    Then we make it real: brand, website, content, launch. One studio, start to finish.

IV — The Making

Words. Form. Reach.

Everything your vision needs to be understood, seen and found.

  1. Words

    Most brands have a look before they have a sentence.

    • Naming
    • Voice
    • Positioning
    • Site and product copy
    • Content strategy
    Inside Words
    The first Vault of Glory study: Solomon's temple drawn in fine line, two pillars either side of an open doorway, on a stepped plinth.

  2. Form

    Form is what people see and what they use: the mark, the type, the colours, the site, the app.

    • Identity
    • Websites
    • Web and mobile apps
    • Interface design
    • Ongoing care
    Inside Form
    The Vault of Glory identity mounted large on a building facade: a temple mark with a lit torch and the words Vault of Glory.

  3. Reach

    Reach is how the work gets in front of people, and how it stays recognisable once it’s there.

    • Art direction
    • Campaigns
    • Content systems
    • Social
    • Asset libraries
    Inside Reach
