    Abstract

    Cubic is a new Madeiran architecture studio led by the architect Roberto Rodrigues.

    § 1 The problem

    Think

    The challenge was to develop a visual language that reflected the strong and unique identity that emerged from the long conversations about the concept.

    The Cubic logo in black on white: “cub:c” in straight strokes and, below, “arquitectos”.
    Fig. 1 The logo.

    § 2 Where the idea came from

    Think

    For Cubic, the inspiration came from its line of architecture, where the repetition of a simple form produces a complex structure.

    § 3 Building the symbol

    Create

    In this case, a cube gives rise to an entire typeface developed for the brand.

    The Cubic logo in light grey between dashed lines, with the measurement of each letter and each space in modules: 7x, 2x, 8x, x.
    Fig. 2 The lines and measurements of the logo, in modules.

    § 4 Technical information

    Create

    The result is a unique visual identity, created from the positioning and philosophy of the architect Roberto Rodrigues.
