Cessida

A visual identity system for a real estate developer.

The brief

Reflect Cessida’s focus on thoughtful architecture and trusted relationships in an identity that works across formats.

What I did

I designed the mark and wordmark, drew the construction grid and developed the palette, typography and pattern.

A decision that shaped the work

I used a curved C and a bridge to suggest connection and access. The open centre puts people at the heart of the mark. Reverse and monochrome versions adapt it to different backgrounds.

The outcome

The project produced a logo system and a property brochure concept showing how the identity could present a residential development.
