VCBO Architecture has established themselves as an artistic and tenable design firm around the world for the last fifty years. To take on the next fifty years, they needed a reimagined identity that captured their welcoming culture, innovation, craft, and focus on people.

The modernity and classicism of the international style, the structure and poise of architectural design, and the human touch found within every project inspired an innovative and flexible visual system for VCBO. At its core, this system is precise and mathematical. Yet, on the surface those details become translated into timeless elements infused with contemporary flair and personality.

Developed with intentional minimalism, VCBO’s wordmark is flexible and approachable. A color system was developed that’s primarily black and white, yet expands allows for a diverse range of application across clients and projects. Typography was curated to hit the marks of elegance and functionality. A unique and mechanical grid system was established based on multiples of four (playing homage to the four founding partners). Each of these elements work together to form a fresh, mature, and dynamic brand identity for VCBO.
