Overview

Refreshing the identity of a modern fashion brand.

The objective of this project was to redesign the Equilox logo into a cleaner, more premium visual identity that reflects confidence, quality, and timeless style.

The redesign focused on creating a mark that feels equally at home across digital platforms, product labels, clothing, packaging, and marketing materials — while appealing to a modern fashion audience.

Before — original mark on apparel
After — redesigned identity on apparel

The Challenge

The old mark blended in. It needed to lead.

No visual distinction

The existing identity lacked a clear point of view.

Missing premium tone

The mark didn't communicate a luxury fashion aesthetic.

Limited flexibility

It broke down across small labels and large signage alike.

Trend over time

Needed a timeless direction — not a fashionable one.

Design Objectives

Four commitments.

01

Memorable mark

A logo that lodges in memory on first glance.

02

Confidence & poise

Sophistication without shouting.

03

Versatile across products

From woven labels to storefront signage.

04

Timeless identity

Designed to age for a decade, not a season.

Research & Inspiration

Simplicity is the loudest signal of luxury.

Luxury fashion houses rarely shout. Their marks lean on typography, balance, and restraint — a serif holding its ground, a monogram cut with intent, whitespace treated as material.

Research pulled from editorial archives, storefronts, and typography specimens to define a visual vocabulary of quiet authority.

  • Fashion references
  • Luxury branding inspiration
  • Typography references
  • Moodboard
  • Competitive analysis
  • Visual inspiration

Concept Development

From rough sketch to refined intent.

Every exploration was a question about weight, tension, and posture. Dozens of directions were narrowed by a single filter — would this still feel considered on a woven label ten years from now?

01 · Sketch ideation — exploring 'balance of two worlds'
02 · Refined sketch — chosen direction with apparel studies
03 · Icon ideation — digitising the monogram

Logo Refinement

Built on a grid. Tuned by the eye.

The final mark was constructed on a strict geometric grid, then optically corrected so that mathematically-equal spaces read as visually-equal. Rejected directions taught the system as much as the accepted one — each removal sharpened the final proportions.

Logo finishing touches — vector cleanup in Affinity Designer
Final icon mark — the 'E' monogram in brand red
Final wordmark — EQUILOX with the balance strike-through
Refined sketch — mark applied across apparel

Final Logo

A confident, quiet mark.

The redesign improved clarity at small sizes, balanced the negative space across every character, and gave the mark a versatility it never had — from a woven neck label to a full storefront sign.

Project Highlights

Timeless

A visual identity built to age well.

Luxury

Positioning that reads premium at a glance.

Scalable

Works across digital and print without redraw.

Recognisable

Improved brand recall across touchpoints.

Reflection

What I Learned

  • Designing for long-term recognition means resisting the trend that feels exciting today. A great mark is a decade-long decision.
  • Simplicity is not the absence of ideas — it's the discipline of removing everything that isn't the idea.
  • Elegance and functionality are the same conversation. If it can't be read on a woven label, it can't lead a brand.
  • A logo lives across mediums and sizes it was never sketched for. Design it for the ones you haven't imagined yet.
