Kennedy Nolan
A confident identity for award winning architects
Kennedy Nolan came to us looking for a renewed identity.
The existing logo was one they strongly identified with,
but as the practice had grown and matured, so too it was
time for the identity to be revisited and refined.
Much of Kennedy Nolan’s work is characterised by an interest in materiality, tactility and a play between utilitarian and bespoke. Contrasting a bold mark with delicate typography, printed on an uncoated stock — selected for its utilitarian nature, environmental credentials and transformative quality to yellow at the edge over time — we were able to emulate these key qualities.
“Ortolan listened closely. They understood that the small and subtle details were important to us. They understood the qualities we wanted to pursue. They knew when to push us out of our comfort zone. They were delightful to work with. In our profession we are often asked to recommend graphic designers. We never hesitate to put their name forward.”
