warm signal
Meridian Supply
A neighborhood roaster outgrew its founder-drawn logo. We rebuilt the mark, the bag, and the buying flow into one calm system.

Halden Clinic
Five clinics under five different signs became one trusted name, with a booking experience that felt like care rather than admin.

How we work
A rename is a decision, not a logo.
01
We start in the room, not the deck
Renaming happens live with the people who built the thing. No name is delivered cold over email. The family, the founders, the front desk — they are in the session.
02
One system, built to bend
Every identity ships as a component system: type scale, palette, motion. It has to wear a second brand without fracturing. This very site shares its foundation with a calm therapy practice.
03
We build the site ourselves
Design that hands off to a stranger to implement loses its edges. We design and build the front end, so what we drew is what ships, down to the scroll.

Describe what you have outgrown.
This is the exact prompt we open a naming project with. Tell our studio namer about the business, and it will sketch three directions and a positioning line, the same way we would in the first hour together.
Three directions and a positioning line will appear here. The prefilled brief is a real one we worked through with Meridian Supply.
