[ The Challenge ] To design a highly complex graphic system for a major city brand. The project required deep research into Lisbon’s cultural identity to build a communication strategy and a guiding conceptual approach that accommodates diverse municipal needs. I designed this rebranding during design school, and it’s still one of my favorite visual experiments. The goal was to build a heavy-duty identity system for Lisbon by capturing the things that actually make the city move, like the iconic trams, the patterns on the street tiles, and the raw clash between nature and the urban landscape. [ The Creative Concept ] The branding is built around the unique elements that define Lisbon's daily rhythm: ① The Tramway The iconic tram system served as the primary inspiration for connection, movement, and the literal lines guiding the branding. ② Textural Contrasts Striking a balance between the organic beauty of nature and the geometric precision of the city's traditional tiles. ③ Human Energy Infusing the visual palette with the warmth and lively spirit of the local people. This project really changed how I approach branding. It forced me to look past just making a cool logo and actually figure out how an identity scales across a whole city. It's still a favorite of mine because it was a massive exercise in organizing a lot of moving parts.
