Win with savvy solutions.
The brief required the development of an identity that encapsulated the essence of the firm, whilst maintaining a simple, modern, minimalist, yet elegant aesthetic. In effect step away from the typical colours, icons and typefaces that contributed to the ‘sameness’ that is generally representative of the law profession.
The key take-aways and information from our initial workshop:
> Metis = Greek Goddess of wisdom, council and deep thought.
> Specialist areas of the firm = Mergers & Acquisitions, Privacy Law and Business Contracts.
> Essence of Metis Law = Savvy, Passionate and Honest.
The Structure
A pattern started to emerge with 3’s and when paired with the all encompassing focus and due diligence that Metis put into their client engagement, we started exploring how we could pull these key elements together to create a strong brandmark. One option explored was rings… which when developed further lead to the final, approved result. The structure of the icon also communicates an abstract image of an owl… a creature known as a wise, overseeing being. Additionally, the ancient Greeks saw the owl as a symbol of status, intelligence and wealth, which is a perfect association to the firm. This all tied in nicely to the overall brand and the firms promise to its market.
"We engaged Watershed Creative to assist us with a new brand identity and logo. The one thing that Chris said to us, in terms of his work, was that, “I guarantee that you will be happy”. That is exactly how it panned out. Chris was easy to work with, researched elements thoroughly and had great ideas for implementation. As predicted by him, we are thrilled with the results of our new logo and brand identity. We would highly recommend Watershed Creative."
