Brief

The main visual element of the studio's logo and identity is a geometrically divided square. The segments of square hide the very name SWHZ, symbolize stability, durability and regularity. With their strict geometric accuracy they also refer to the architecture, which in most cases is governed by set rules. The symbol also reflects its Asian origins, thus continuing the traditions of old Chinese culture and architecture.

The identity aims to have a credible effect on the client and also reflects the pleasant and friendly atmosphere in the studio, where new architectural designs and solutions are easily created. At the same time, the color of the logo and whole identity is based on the typically used concrete, as the basic building material, and the color of the sky, where many buildings in big Asian cities usually rise.

All the principles of visual identity are applied, among other things, in the studio's portfolio, on their website and processed into an extensive brand manual.
