The One Off

Designing for heritage doesn’t mean standing still.

As one of the founders of the shipbroking industry, SSY needed an identity that could honour its legacy while reflecting the digital-first direction of the business today.

Working closely with the internal team, we uncovered a clear opportunity: to help SSY “own the sea.”

The result is a future-proofed brand system built around independence, experience and momentum. At its heart is an abstracted wordmark shaped by the sea itself, a marque that casts off category convention and brings a sharper sense of quality, craft and confidence to the sector.

Last year, we worked with Sky to develop and relocate their Cardiff St David’s Store.

We developed a more refined material palette and create new fixtures to align with Sky’s updated brand direction.

We worked with Sky to develop their Fort Dunlop product training area.

The space gave us the opportunity to explore each product through a more technical lens and bring this life physically, using Sky’s signature designer language, colour palette and tone of voice to create the hub.

A quick look back at some of our past projects with Sky.

We designed and delivered their White City Sky Glass flagship, and have since worked closely with to update and evolve the store in line with new releases and campaigns.

A little logo and ID for our friends at Highbrook Farm. Over the last few months they’ve been working to diversify their business, creating a series of office and workspaces on their farmland.

The ID connects the farm and the venture, building on the sense of heritage and place.
