01 What we design
/01

Logos

Marks · Wordmarks · Monograms

A logo is a decision, not a drawing. Grid, optical weight, negative space, how it reads at 16 pixels and on a hoarding. We test all of that before you ever see option one.

/02

Banners

Web scale · Print scale

A banner gets one second and has one job. We design for the glance first, then reward the stare.

/03

Social Media

Feeds · Campaigns · Drops

A feed is a rhythm, not a dump. Posts designed as a system, so day 30 still looks like it belongs next to day 1.

/04

Branding Setup

Identity systems

Color, type, spacing, tone of voice. The rulebook that makes everything you publish look like one hand made it, because one system did.

/05

Motion Design

Reels · Product · Interface

Things should move like they mean it. Easing is a personality trait, and we pick yours carefully.

/06

UI / UX

Apps · Web · SaaS

The other half of this studio ships software every week. So our interfaces are drawn by people who have to live with them after launch, and it shows.

/07

Print

Cards · Posters · Packaging

Ink does not get a second deploy. Print is designed twice and measured three times before it touches paper.

02 The logo science

Anyone can make a logo. Very few can tell you why it works. Every mark we draw sits on a grid, balances its own negative space, survives in a single color, and still reads at the size of a favicon. Taste decides how it feels. Science decides whether it lives. We do both, in that order, and we can defend every line of it.

03 The principles
P.01

Contrast is kindness

If everything shouts, nothing gets heard. We decide what speaks first, and the rest waits its turn.

P.02

White space works

Empty is not wasted. It is what makes the full parts land. We defend it like it is billable.

P.03

Type carries 90%

Get the type right and the design is nearly done. Get it wrong and nothing else can save it.

P.04

Systems beat one-offs

Anyone can look good once. A system still looks good on post number 300, without us in the room.

P.05

Every pixel has a reason

Or it leaves. Decoration has to earn its place here, same as everything else.

P.06

It has to work small

A mark that dies at 16 pixels was never alive. We start at the favicon and scale up, not the other way.

04 Who handles it

Handled by the creative order, a small team inside Kode31 that argues about kerning on purpose. They sit next to the engineers, so what gets designed is what actually ships, exactly as drawn. No handoff, no translation loss, no close enough.

One team · design and build under the same roof · that is the whole trick
