Project Details

The studio was asked to refine and uplift the existing wordmark; with The aim of strengthening structural clarity, resolving inconsistencies, and bringing the logo closer to the brand’s character without altering the core identity.

Process

The design approach naturally shifted towards improving the structure of the wordmark. it was decided that The uplift should not be cosmetic; but rather a functional and iterative recalibration. I began by studying the core language of the practice; Redrawing the mark and introducing wider proportions, with a structure more aligned with the visual identity.

System Behavior

Production was a core consideration in the development of the mark — stitching, laser-cut metal, labelling, stroke thickness, material stress, negative space, and how the mark interacts with textile structures. Digitally, the logotype’s proportions allow it to be scaled across different breakpoints while maintaining presence without the need to rely on graphic excess.

Result

The identity operates on a principle of structural restraint. The logotype behaves less like a graphic asset and more like a component within a spatial system — measured, intentional, and materially aware.

Services

The final identity is a system built to operate fluidly across digital and physical contexts, holding its structure across scale and material. The uplifted logotype feels deliberate, engineered, and aligned with Judas Mordache’s practice, reinforcing her core principles of materiality. + creative direction + brand identity + web design + type customisation + photo retouching
