Inspiration




Visual Explorations



Logo




The redesigned, rounded, monoline, custom wordmark communicated a soft, playful, friendliness and contemporary innovation without being pretentious.



Like the products themselves, the “infinity loop” reflects the continuous nature of a knitted piece of fabric.



The Pattern



A tactile brand pattern was created to mimic the texture of knitted fabric.




Color & Typography





The bold and cheerful color palette was informed by the colorful yarn used in the products.

Konigsberg is a rounded, monoline typeface that communicated a sense of softness and visual uniformity when used as a pattern.


Website



The website featured a modular grid based design that focused on clear navigation, functionality and ease of use.


Print








The branding system was unified across print and digital touchpoints including social, packaging and OOH ads.

Challenge:
Verloop Knits approached us because the brand was disconnected and they needed a brand identity refresh to unify their brand language across all touchpoints and better reflect the spirit and nature of their products.

Insight:
Verloop means “process” in Dutch.

Solution:
Informed by their products, a new rounded, monoline wordmark was created that communicated softness and friendliness. Woven into the logo, the two O letterforms were also joined to represent a circular, “infinity loop” brand mark that is symbolic of a continuous piece of thread.

The brand typeface is Konigsberg—a soft, monoline typeface that was chosen for its visual uniformity when used as a pattern and as a counterpart to the wordmark.

A typographic brand pattern was created to represent the weave and tactile nature of the products while the cheerful and bold color palette was informed by the innovative and colorful spirit of the brand and products.

Results:
The new visual identity aligns the brand more closely to their brand values.
