I think experiencing a good identity is like meeting an interesting person you want to find out more about. Through the language of graphic design an identity reflects the values, aspirations, culture and aims that underpin the business.
A logo is the key identity aspect that will always be consistent throughout all communications. As such, it much be as much at home on a letterhead and business cards as it is on signs, advertising and online. Everything starts with a logo: it’s the essence of a brand.

Committees and large groups of marketing people are more likely to produce compromise than memorable strokes of creativity. Most of the classic logo designs were created by single, visionary minds or very small groups comprising the client’s principal desicion maker(s) and a designer. In the case of this logo there were just two people involved: Mika Ohtsuki, a New York-based piano technician, and Emmi Salonen. The final solution features five ebony piano keys, one of which is slightly out of place and in need of tuning. It also spells out the client’s initials.
