Branding &above

  • Andy Henderson

&above came together in early 2023 following the merger of RCCO and WILD, a digital creative agency and a video production studio respectively. When I joined the team that August I was tasked with building their new visual identity from scratch. It had to showcase the agency’s technical skill while still selling the creativity at its heart. The brand didn’t need a flashy colour palette or typeface – its job was to compliment our work rather than distract from it. Build around Aeonik Pro by Co-Type Foundry, the brand uses graphic illustrations and animation to bring energy and dynamism to an otherwise editorial look.
