8 Seconds Identities

This is the Corporate Identity Design for the South African Branding and Design Agency, 8 Seconds. Playing with the theme "8", 8 different looks and feels were created with the logo. The brief for the 8 Seconds Identity redesign was any designers dream: "Go Wild." The agency had 8 "departments" - a different identity was designed for each department. With a unique look and feel there are 8 stationary sets, 8 business cards, 8 letterheads, 8 compliment slips. Different stationary sets can be used randomly - just to communicate the diversity of the agency. Each identity is based on a theme related to 8. These are the creative looks of the 8 identities.
