Has osma lost its mind – or just gained a bird?
The strategic realignment of the elevator company OSMA is expressed through a distinctive visual identity that also conveys a compelling narrative. A stylised stork, symbolising the “top resident”, was introduced as a new trademark and served as the inspiration for a custom corporate typeface.
Layher – A Typeface That Builds
At the heart of Layher’s corporate design is a new corporate font. It symbolically reflects the function of the products and, like scaffolding, supports all media formats. KMS TEAM thus brought tradition into the modern age and sharpened the brand for the future.
VW California – From Icon to Brand
A distinctive visual universe was created for the new VW California brand, including an evocative logo as an internationally recognisable symbol. This unique identity transforms the traditional model series into a contemporary brand.
