London design studio Office of Overview created the identity for Human, Zandland's factual storytelling brand focused on first-hand, emotionally direct accounts. The system uses Jeffersonian transcription marks to visualize speech, alongside a bold wordmark, human-shaped asterisk symbol, Saans typography, RGB-inspired colour and restrained motion.
Under After created a new brand identity for Reasoning Project, a venture firm founded by Michelangelo Pagliara and Juhana Peltomaa. The identity balances human warmth with technological credibility through a hand-drawn 'R', refined typography, and motion-led art direction. The design emphasizes restraint, timelessness, and the idea of reasoning as the new scarcity in the AI era.
Montreal-based studio Caserne designed the brand identity for Tech Icons, a London-based intelligence platform, treating it more like a gallery than a typical tech media site. The minimalist system uses white as a structural foundation, restrained red accents, and editorial typography to convey clarity and trust. The design balances aesthetic restraint with functional clarity for a busy professional audience.
Brass Hands developed a brand identity for Helix-DB, a graph-vector database, by visualizing its AI infrastructure as industrial machinery. The design uses a restrained palette of oxidised metal tones, the Saans typeface, and system-driven graphics inspired by manufacturing manuals and data storage formats. The result is a cohesive identity that bridges digital and physical applications, emphasizing structure, precision, and materiality.
