“The delivery of a brand’s key message is paramount. I believe a concise, impactful message lies at the heart of any strong identity system—it is this clarity that allows a brand’s essence to be communicated in a momentary glance, whether through a logo, advertisement, or packaging.

the branding people — Mexico City, Mexico / Madrid, Spain
“Creating a brand from scratch demands vision, research, and strategic clarity—it’s about building every element from the ground up. Rebranding, by contrast, requires navigating legacy, expectations, and continuity. It’s a careful dance between innovation and preservation, especially when adapting for new mediums. Both are challenging in distinct ways: one builds foundations, the other evolves them without losing core equity.”...

Norman Dubois — Dubai, United Arab Emirates
“Great branding begins with strategy. I always start with a workshop to uncover a brand’s character, audience, and goals—then craft a design system that emotionally connects with its ideal customers.

Whether building from scratch or evolving...

FAENA Studio — Mexico City, Mexico
“While both creating a brand from scratch and refreshing an existing one pose distinct challenges, the latter can often be more demanding. Developing a new identity offers the excitement of exploring fresh concepts and uncovering the core essence of a business. However, reworking an established brand—particularly when its foundational identity must remain intact—requires careful balance to avoid redundancy. Yet, when...
Hirado Sanpei — Tokyo, Japan
“Pop Graphics? Oh, that’s easy! It’s light and crispy and comes in flavours like salt, butter, and caramel. I always get a half-and-half mix at the movies… wait, that’s popcorn!! Alright, seriously—I don’t know the exact definition of Pop Graphics. But when I create, I focus on soft, airy colours, dynamic poses, and expressive faces while keeping the overall design...
