BRAND ID | Estúdio Curió




Estúdio Curió is a home studio and online content platform that makes music videos and recordings with light, cheerful and spiritual aesthetics to help musicians and music lovers who want to listen to music with positive vibes, and connect with the community of musicians in their city.
The project started with the brand platform, defining guidelines for the company such as archetypes, motivations, value proposition and "big idea", which gave us the slogan "Singing life" (Cantar a vida). Based on these parameters, we started to work on naming, with a long list in hand, we defined that bird names are a perfect fit for our concept of lightness and freedom through the association with flight, the simple beauty of nature, and of course, singing.
The visual identity started with a lettering shaped like the bird that gives the brand its name, the Bullfinch (curió). That gave the company's graphic representation the homely look we were looking for, to side with it we came up with a palette in warm tones that refer to sunsets or sunrises, balanced with earthy tones. The graphics and patterns we designed seek to visually represent the idea of horizon, mountains, the sky and birds flying.

LOGOTYPE | Casa da Gelada
2020
Casa da Gelada is a small neighborhood gocery store that specializes in alcooholic beverages delivery, its style comes mostly from what was given by the looks of the house itself. With the brick walls and rough wood doors, we thought it would be well represented by an old distilery look With that in mind I did some researching and sketching to create the custom type logo, and a few pieces we needed to get the business going. I also did the hand painted logos and number on the walls.

ALBUM COVER | Tiago Sarmento
2019
BOHO, a vocabulary abbreviation much in vogue lately,comes from the lifestyle of the gypsy culture, which French romantic artists very much admired, inspired and thus named their lifestyle of Bohemianism: nomadic, wandering, simple, passionate about life and unconventional. Extrapolating these words and finding their synonyms, we come to the vagabond, eccentric, exotic correlates; at last, free. This is all present in Tiago Sarmento's 20 years career as a musician, as a celebration, nothing better than his 5th studio album being named BOHO. Based on this information I was invited to create the album cover, with a research into the visual universe that involves the artist's creation we came up with an ornate lettering inspired by boho prints full of arabesques and floral patterns as the main element.
