A building was a perfectly good place to start.

Portis wanted an architectural identity with an old-school, metropolitan sensibility. We kept the subject direct and put the character into the execution: a simple building symbol with enough distinction to stand on its own, and enough clarity to remain readable on a blueprint.

The challenges

  • Expressing a sophisticated architectural practice.
  • Giving a familiar building symbol a distinctive execution.
  • Keeping the identity simple and legible.
  • Making the mark work at small sizes on blueprints.

What we did

  • Created a building-led symbol with an urban, metropolitan character.
  • Developed a restrained identity with the old-school sophistication the client wanted.
  • Refined the mark for clarity at small scales and on architectural documents.
