New work for hat maker Awon Golding. Awon’s creations have graced the heads of global icons, but the brand needed a glow up to compliment the hats. We designed an elegant & joyful visual identity inspired by the hats, with a playful tone of voice. Topped off with a new logo.

Each job we do starts in a different place, so inspiration comes from different places too. For our rebrand of Cyprus Kitchen, we looked to founder Nick’s Cypriot heritage and discovered a world of pottery from 11th–4th Century BC. See more on our journal counterstudio.co.uk/journal/…
