The client wanted a visual identity that felt stylish and artistic, appealing to a younger creative audience—without feeling grungy or overly casual. The tone had to strike a balance between edgy and elevated, capturing individuality while still feeling polished and high-end.

Inspired by elements from magazines and editorials, I leaned into the concept of photography and framing. That led to the use of a viewfinder as a starting point, which informed the design of the "O" in "Post." This became a flexible brand element that could expand and contract based on application, giving the identity both edge and versatility. It also served as a unique graphic tool for collateral like social media, reinforcing the brand's curated, stylish feel.

Post Allston wordmark and viewfinder O

A sleek, minimalist wordmark anchors the visual language. The typography contrasts a tall, condensed sans-serif with a wide, tracked-out submark to create striking visual tension. At its core, the letter 'O' is reimagined as a flexible viewfinder—a dynamic typographic element that expands and contracts to frame the brand's world.

Post Allston colour palette

Inspired by high-end editorial design, the palette features deep midnight purple, cool grey, and touches of dusty lavender. These bold yet subtle tones balance warmth with an urban edge, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that feels premium without ever feeling sterile.

Post Allston out of home and environmental signage

Designed for maximum visibility, the brand's kinetic energy is amplified on an environmental scale. Whether acting as a structural building sign or framing lifestyle photography on a massive out-of-home placement, the flexible 'O' device ensures the identity remains striking and recognizable from a distance.
