Pivitt / Brand identity & design

Identity that proves the thinking.

A complete visual and verbal system, built from the strategy and documented so it holds in any hands, at any scale, on any surface the brand touches.

From the work · Taya

Identity is not decoration. It is the evidence that the thinking underneath is sound.

The system stack

Hover each layer. Identity holds when every layer sits on the one below it; most brands only ever build the top two.

What it changesThe value, plainly
BeforeAfter

The brand looks different on every surface it touches.

One company, recognisably, everywhere it shows up.

Every new asset is hand-crafted from scratch.

A system anyone competent can apply at speed.

Design decisions get re-litigated in every review.

Decisions documented once, applied a thousand times.

The brand lives in one designer's head.

The brand lives in the system, whoever is holding the pen.

What it coversThe scope
01

Logo and mark system

A primary identity and the variations that keep it consistent.

02

Typography

A type system that carries voice as much as legibility.

03

Colour

A palette with rules, not just swatches.

04

Art direction

The photographic and graphic language of the brand.

05

Iconography and elements

The supporting kit that holds everything together.

06

Design guidelines

The system written down, so anyone can apply it.

Sound familiar?When you need this

Your decks and your website look like two different companies.

New hires and suppliers produce off-brand work by default.

The identity cannot stretch to a new product without breaking.

You keep patching the brand instead of using it.

How it worksThe approach
01

Foundations

We translate the strategy into the core marks, type and colour.

02

Expression

We build the wider system across every surface the brand lives on.

03

System

We document it so the identity holds at scale, in any hands.

Proof

Identity systems built and run across BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad: 200,000+ assets over eight years.
