OVERVIEW
I designed the brand identity and marketing website for Form & Function, a company providing digital compliance solutions. Starting from a defined mission and brand direction, I translated abstract ideas into a cohesive visual identity and user-facing website. This involved renaming our company, designing a logo, establishing a color palette and type, and creating a website.

BACKGROUND
This rebrand began with our company splitting into two separate entities—one focused on print, and the other on digital products. As part of the digital side, we were tasked with building a new brand from the ground up. Without an existing identity to evolve, we had to define everything from the company name to the visual system and website.
The challenge was not only to create a cohesive brand, but to establish a unique identity that positioned the company as a modern, digital-first compliance solution.
GOALS
01
Establish a more intentional and professional brand
02
Reflect the company’s focus on compliance and functionality
03
Create a unified identity across product and marketing
RENAMING THE BRAND
Exploration
I took part in brainstorming hundreds of potential names centered around the idea of compliance and the usability of our products. We focused on names with the word "Form" in it, as well as the domain availability for our future website.

Outcome
The name Form & Function was chosen to emphasize two key ideas:
Form → structure, compliance, and organization
Function → usability, efficiency, and product value
DEFINING THE BRAND
With an established name, we wanted our logo design and branding to convey these ideas:
Trustworthy
Structured and Stable Visual Elements
Digital-First
Modern and Digitized
Professional
Clean and Corporate Aesthetic
LOGO IDEATION
Digital Metaphors



Compliance Symbols



Lettermark Concepts



Why these concepts didn't work:
-
Could be misinterpreted as other industries
-
Felt too playful for a corporate audience
-
Did not align with company vision
COLOR PALETTE
I proposed multiple palette directions:
-
Blue tones → trust, reliability, professionalism
-
Red tones → boldness and energy
-
Green tones → growth and success

FINAL LOGO

Explanation
-
The final logo uses the two “F” letterforms to create a shape that subtly resembles a structured form
-
Connects directly to the brand name
-
References the concept of forms, while avoiding literal "paper" representation
-
Remains clean, scalable, and versatile
-
The final selected palette used blue to reinforce trust for a compliance-focused platform
