Emanuele Grittini · CLIENT: Feral Horses
Feral Horses Brand Identity is a corporate identity designed for a company that works in the contemporary art investment field. The identity speaks to three audiences: art enthusiasts, professional traders, and curious achievers. A single pictogram brings together the artistic and the financial sides of the brand. The logo and its variants are pixel perfect, so the mark stays clear and recognizable. The colors were defined with the Pantone system and then converted to sRGB and CMYK. The selected fonts work both in print and on screen.
