unlock – distil – design

distylerie brand essence process

Our design process is a clear and structured workflow that facilitates collaboration between you and the design team and ensures that your goals and needs are met.

Unlock

We begin by determining your requirements and objectives and clarifying administrative details such as the schedule and budget. This phase also includes a workshop to analyse the status quo: What is your company’s mission and vision? What services or products do you offer? Who is the target group? What does the market landscape look like? We analyse these and other questions to create a brand platform that is the perfect foundation for the phases to come.  

Distil

The brand platform determines your brand’s characteristics and values. In this stage, we use it as a foundation for exploring various design directions, each emphasising a different aspect of the brand personality, presenting you with three design concepts. Based on your feedback, we narrow down the exploration, stripping your brand down to its unmistakable core, distilling its essence and choosing one design concept, tailored to your needs.

Design

Once we have decided on a design concept, we adjust the basic elements again and refine it. The result is a brand book that describes your brand’s clear and precise identity and visual language and acts as the foundation for all implementation. Your brand essence is now ready to be transformed into powerful experiences.
