The Design

About What Next Función principal: Identidad de marca

Texto del libro: El resultado visual final se logra tomando un símbolo y convirtiéndolo en un signo de interrogación al colocarlo sobre un cuadrado más pequeño debajo (una pieza extraída de 1/4 de un cuadrado grande situado encima) y ubicándolo en un punto de inflexión mientras permanece en equilibrio, generando una sensación visual de tensión con una reorganización mínima de los elementos. El logotipo What Next, así como el nombre, son en cierto modo un oxímoron, una pregunta y una respuesta a la vez, creando fricción. Por sí solo, el logo-signo es una imperfección simple y deliberada, y un vehículo de comunicación directo, que busca crear mucho con poco esfuerzo invertido.

Unique Properties
Logo takes a symbol > and turns it into a question mark by extracting a piece of a big square and putting it rotated on a tipping point of a remaining smaller square below but remaining in balance, producing a new meaning and creating a visual sensation of tension with a minimal rearrangement of elements.
Dimensions & Packaging
Technically, it is easily producible, makeable, buildable, applicable across various physical or digital forms.

Production Technology
It is built to meet technical requirements, be an appropriate but intriguing metaphor that is easy to decode and have a simple, clever-twist in execution, hopefully making it distinguishable, relatable, and memorable. As importantly, it is to be a fundamental visual asset generator for the brand, convenient and highly triggering for further seamless creation of various branding assets like bespoke stationary, signage, advertising, memento objects, and so on. It is pushing subtly towards art by enabling playful execution across platforms and expanding the initial brand values further.
Design Challenge
Breathing life into a business consultancy and giving it an emotional layer.
Research
Analysis of peer institutions and companies.
Inspiration
What Next logo is in a way an oxymoron. In keeping with the company name, it is a Question and an Answer depending on which point of view is optimal for the given context, which creates friction. On its own, without the type, the logomark is a simple, deliberate imperfection and a straightforward communication vessel for the company it is representing, in a sense striving to create a lot with little effort and action invested.
Project Duration
Designed in late 2023.
