Identity design: an Intimate Relationship Between Client and Designer.
Trademark design challenges the designer to use all the magic and intelligence at their command, all their skill, knowledge, vision and ability in the creation of a single, clear, direct image that will embody the character and aspirations of the organization. More than with any other design discipline, successful brand identities must be born out of close relationships between clients and the designer who is tasked with representing them. Through case histories and vivid examples, Sagi Haviv will give a window into the intimate relationships his firm has developed with clients such as Chase Bank, Harvard University Press, Conservation International, Women’s Tennis Association, and others who have come to them in search of identity.
