diDom

“diDom is a store located in the heart of Madrid’s Golden Mile with more than 30 years of history, specializing in the sale of shoes and accessories for weddings and celebrations. We were asked to redesign the entire brand to completely change its old-fashioned image and position themselves in today’s wedding markets.

“We wanted to reflect on the elegance and delicacy of the brand identity, as well as the quality and design of its products. We have developed a customized​​​​​​​ typographic logo and a symbol that occasionally accompanies the brand. The symbol was born from the union of the two letters D present in the name of the brand, building the elegant silhouette of a flower, with soft shapes in reference to the forms of women and reflecting some of the most representative emblems of weddings and celebrations: The union of two people. We decided to use a palette of soft corporate colors, supported in black and white. Design, quality and elegance.”

Pepino’s

“Long-time Vancouverites may recognize the location of Pepino’s as the former home of Nick’s Spaghetti House, a neighbourhood classic Italian Spaghetti House that shuttered in late 2017 after 60 years of business. The new owners wanted to pay homage to its heritage, but the former owner, Nick Felicella, wished to retire his name. Inspiration struck the owners in the form of a 1962 song by Italian-American singer Lou Monte called “Pepino, the Italian Mouse”. The discovery was a serendipitous one, with the playful ditty connecting to both Nick’s Spaghetti House: Felicella had owned a racehorse named Spaghetti Mouse, and the rascally rodent character in the song provided a perfect namesake.

“The reimagined room maintained many of it’s original elements – overall, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and nostalgic, with a dining experience that feels transportive, as if you were actually travelling back to the era that birthed Italian-American cooking. Glasfurd & Walker worked to create a fitting identity that felt like it had always been there. The mouse has been reinterpreted as a character that loves his wine, scattered throughout collateral paired with copy that is reminiscent of menus from the 60s and 70s where copy is obvious and to the point. The custom script for the word-mark references classic American-Italian restaurants guided, with gusto on the front of the building. Wine menus were made from leather that had sat in a menu binders’ workshop for the last 30 years, out of fashion and no longer considered but perfect for the project.”

Coquille

“Coquille Fine Seafood, is a sophisticated fish house in Vancouver’s Gastown neighbourhood; as you walk in it immediately sets a theatrical, oceanic tone. All aspects of the room and bran embraced aquatic motifs wholeheartedly. A modern spin on a classic fish house concept, the 4,100-square-foot restaurant offers a creative menu of quintessential seafood and shellfish dishes accompanied by a wide-ranging drink menu featuring craft beer, handmade cocktails and notable BC and international wines. With seating for 100 in an expansive dining room, bar and lounge appointed with nautically-inspired décor, Coquille Fine Seafood allows locals and visitors alike to enjoy a relaxed-yet-elegant dining experience for lunch, dinner, happy hour and late night drinks.

“The brand is filled with aquatic, nautical and mythical sea creatures in the details. Firstly, the word mark, modified with a subtle tail arrow on the ’q’ and ‘i’ to reference the sea serpent or harpoon. A series of crests with mermaids, krakens, seashells and serpents live throughout collateral, telling a story of wild and beautiful underwater world in with a modern tone. Check presenters are playing cards – as a reference to life on a ship.”

“Home is a life in progress. It’s a place to be lived in and loved, and it’s always changing. Bellacor, an online marketplace for home furnishings and decor, aims to invite, inspire, and make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.

“WDW worked with Bellacor to refresh its brand identity.

FR-EE

“FR-EE / Fernando Romero Enterprise is the global firm of the award-winning architect Fernando Romero. The studio is recognized for its pioneering design of projects such as the iconic Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, the forthcoming Museo Mazatlán in Sinaloa, Mexico, and the new Mexico City International Airport. Natasha Jen and her team designed a new identity and website for FR-EE that capture its innovative approach to architecture and design. The identity is designed to illuminate both the firm’s adaptability in translating historic, social, economic and environmental contexts and the underlying formality within their work. To achieve this, the designers set the logotype in lowercase Circular, which has fluid curvatures within geometry-based letterforms. Color is an expressive element of the FR-EE branding. The bold palette—a distinctive shade of fluorescent green, along with blue, purple and pink—suggest the vibrant culture of Mexico, where the firm is headquartered. The green also references the company’s commitment to green design and environmental sustainability. The responsive website showcases FR-EE’s wide-ranging body of work while capturing the firm’s energetic spirit. The entire portfolio is presented on the homepage as a universe of projects. These are imagined as illuminated objects with miniature, colored 3-D models. Once users begin exploring the navigation, the work can be filtered and reorganized by various factors. Each individual project page is a long scroll: high-resolution images, 360-degree rotating models, and videos allow users to experience each architectural work dynamically and holistically.”
