DESIGN NAME: Colons Brand Identity
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brand Identity
INSPIRATION: COLONS has been inspired by the moments that time and space make. Our purpose is to present people the most beautiful moments COLONS has found. So COLONS have created the concept of "See the moment" that we use as a slogan when we create brand identity and all design elements. COLONS has linked all design units organically to create a consistent brand experience based on this concept.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: COLONS is a luxury eyewear brand. The brand name stems from the colon(:), the symbol logo stems from shape of hour and minute hand. COLONS' fonts and patterns are visualized using twelve angles of the clock index. These indexes are used for express a 'time lock' on the front of eyewears. The 'time lock' refers to a specific time, which is the name of the eyewears like 07:25. COLONS' identity is also organically linked to the delivery system, all office tools, marketing ads, and visuals.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The identity of COLONS shares a special time with customers. COLONS is a design unit that represents the most beautiful moments, giving the customer a three-dimensional experience. Through that experience, customers will enjoy the most beautiful moment by using their most beautiful moment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: COLONS studied theory of relativity to gain inspiration in time and space. Based on the research, We found that photography is the most effective way to express time and space. So, Colons try to take the most beautiful pictures for a long time.
CHALLENGE: COLONS's main hurdle was to communicate the brand experience (time and space) to the customer, and we had to develop a new design for every communication subject to make the story and concept consistent.
