Creative Diplomat

Identity system for a new global cultural platform.

We created the visual identity for Creative Diplomat (CD), a new cultural platform founded by Kinfolk founder Nathan Williams. Built around a global network of correspondents, CD covers artists, writers, filmmakers, designers and musicians whose work connects people and ideas across borders. The identity takes cues from legacy publishing and broadcast graphics, reinterpreted for a contemporary, social-first platform. Built around a contemporary blackletter wordmark, we developed a flexible motion-first identity system for digital publishing, spanning launch assets, editorial communications and the platform's first web presence.
