Approach

Approach 1

The first exploration focused on the tagline We Build Brands That Strike Conversations.


Visual language was built around:

  • Speech bubbles

  • Conversation frames


This direction strongly expressed the conversation aspect of the brand but felt more campaign-like than system-level. It captured the voice but not the full multidisciplinary structure of the studio.

The idea for Undo came from observing the everyday struggles of creative people like myselflong hours spent brainstorming, designing, and creating, often fueled by snacks that leave you feeling sluggish and guilty. I wanted to create a brand that felt like a friend to creatives, offering snacks that not only taste amazing but also provide the energy and focus needed to power through those late-night ideas. My approach was to design a brand identity that feels vibrant, approachable, and inspiring something that sparks creativity the moment you see it.

The second direction explored a three-pillar visual code

representing:

  • Strategy

  • Design

  • Tech

This was a clear brand design system, and a clearer service mapping but felt segmented. The disciplines appeared parallel rather than integrated.

Final Approach

The final identity system was built around a four-arrow symbol, pointing in four directions and converging into a central form.

This became both:

  • The logo mark

  • The strategic framework

  • The visual language generator

Conclusion

The Heion identity project evolved from message-led explorations to a system-led visual framework. Through multiple directions and iterations, the final solution centered on the four-arrow concept, which successfully translated Heions multidisciplinary and strategy-first approach into a scalable brand system.


This project strengthened my approach to building identities as connected systems rather than standalone marks, balancing concept, structure, and application, aligning visual form with strategic meaning.
