Letters from here

Cartas Daqui is a channel that tells stories about Brazil through a lens full of affection and memory, exploring our customs, details, and habits. This channel is a warm letter filled with beautiful accounts by journalist Francisco Kilgore.

The visual identity was built on the concept of local stamps—the kind we stick onto postcards to send to friends, sharing our experiences of a city or country we are discovering at that moment. Stamps featuring Brazilian objects and elements prevail throughout the visual language, accumulating more and more stories over time.

The brand’s typography features Ana Banana, created by designer Julia Lago from Plau, paired with snippets of Brazilian songs set in the Brasileiro font by Crystian Cruz.

Círculo 888 – Gestão de Resíduos

Círculo 888 is a non-profit organization that promotes the sustainable management of solid waste from the beauty industry, combining environmental innovation, social impact, and cultural appreciation. In its visual identity, waste takes center stage—because it is part of our lives, it becomes a key element in Círculo 888’s graphic language. This concept highlights waste not as the end of a cycle, but as an ongoing part of our lives, encouraging us to rethink its destination in a conscious and responsible way.

The brand is designed as a sticker or badge, similar to those used in social movements and protests, symbolizing a cause and a form of resistance. The graphic system revolves around the circle and its variations, reinforcing the idea of networks, community, and how our actions are interconnected within a larger chain.

This project is a visual identity that rethinks waste in an intelligent way, with respect for the environment. Círculo 888 is a platform for regeneration, inclusion, and awareness—transforming waste into regenerative resources. The visual identity aims to uplift and give value to a universe that is often ignored or marginalized, portraying it as something powerful and transformative. It seeks to reframe waste, regenerate the planet, support beauty salons, and empower communities to create an infinite cycle of sustainable impact.

The purpose of this identity is to help spread the ideas and values of Círculo 888, raising awareness, shifting mindsets, and creating opportunities for social inclusion through recycling, waste management, and pollution reduction. Círculo 888 aligns with the principles of the circular economy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the aim of becoming a national reference in environmental regeneration, social inclusion, and raising awareness within the beauty industry—ultimately establishing itself as an OSCIP (Civil Society Organization of Public Interest).

Dando as Cartas

We developed the visual identity for the Dando as Cartas podcast, produced by Estúdio Novelo for Caju. In this podcast, professionals reveal the best moves to build a successful career. In the graphic design, we worked with the kings and queens of the deck, exploring their journeys and how they reached the top.

Nem Só de Pão

Visual identity of podcast “Nem Só de Pão” by Rádio Novelo and Audible. The podcast tells the story of chef Paola Carosella and her encounter with author M.F.K. Fischer through the book How to Cook a Wolf and how it changed her relationship with cooking. The creative process involved some manual graphic experiments using an old recipe book, photos of Paola’s family, and paper cutouts of elements from her life. This is a story about affection, memory, and family, so it made sense to incorporate these elements to convey the emotion so deeply embedded in the podcast.

Encontros piauí – O que está em jogo: democracia, voto e eleições

On August 10, 2024, Revista piauí held the Encontros piauí festival titled What’s at Stake: Democracy, Voting, and Elections at IMS Paulista, featuring guests Cármen Lúcia, Marina Dias, Basília Rodrigues, Camila Mattoso, Alana Rizzo, Hoão Brant, André Singer, and Arthur Nestrovski.

We had the pleasure of creating the festival’s visual identity, incorporating humor, which is part of piauí’s language, and elegance, transforming our penguin president into a chess piece.
