Field Notes
A twelve-year-old stationery brand with forty inconsistent products and one good idea.
The problem was not the logo. It was that every product had been designed on its own, so the shelf looked like six brands. We built a grid, a two-weight type system and a rule for where the mark never goes — then rebuilt the range against it in nine weeks.
