Saught&Found — Brand Identity

Overview

Saught & Found is an independent strategy and design studio. The objective was to create an identity that reflected the studio’s dual nature: the seeking of purpose ('Saught') and the attainment of peace ('Found'). We needed a mark that felt both etymologically deep and visually minimal.

Methodology

I centered the identity on a 'Radical Inversion' strategy. The primary motif is an inverted ampersand—a mark that suggests seeking alternate perspectives for every client brief. The system carefully balances artisanal, high-touch aesthetics with the responsive functionality required of a modern design studio.

Challenges & Milestones
  • Named identity strategy—every element tied to etymological meaning
  • Inverted ampersand established as a culturally resonant standalone asset
  • Behance 'Featured' case study with significant global engagement
  • Successful studio persona establishment for a boutique strategy firm
  • Identity functioning as a living, adaptable framework across all scales
