NAUTICAL IDENTITY
April Point Marina
A refined identity created for a marina connected to the luxury world of April Point Resort & Spa. The challenge was to communicate its coastal setting and premium positioning without relying on predictable nautical clichés, creating a mark that could feel equally distinctive across digital and physical applications.
Beyond nautical clichés, toward a more refined sense of place.
Discovery
The identity needed to reflect the elegance of the resort while remaining recognisable as part of the marina experience.
Concept
Rather than relying on obvious anchors or traditional sailing symbols, the visual direction focused on a cleaner and more sophisticated interpretation of the nautical world.
Refinement
The final identity was developed to feel polished, versatile and distinctive, working naturally across signage, apparel, stationery and digital touchpoints.
BESPOKE WEDDING FASHION
Antèsi Bridal
A bespoke identity created for a bridal line centred on individuality, craftsmanship and made-to-measure design. The challenge was to create a logo that could feel romantic and refined while reflecting the personal nature of each dress, designed around the bride rather than around convention.
From blooming to a single continuous stroke.
Discovery
The project began by defining the brand around modern brides looking for something distinctive, personal and tailored to their own style and silhouette.
Concept
The name “Antèsi”, meaning “blooming”, became the starting point for the visual direction, inspiring an identity built around delicacy, transformation and individuality.
Refinement
The final pictogram evolved into a softer single-stroke form, reflecting both Elisa’s direct involvement in designing the dresses and the made-to-measure nature of the brand.
MEDITERRANEAN WINE BAR IDENTITY
Capri
A visual identity created for an Italian natural wine bar and food retail concept inspired by Capri and the relaxed character of Southern Italy. The challenge was to combine a simple, vintage aesthetic with a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere, making the brand feel authentic, welcoming and rooted in Italian slow living.
A Mediterranean identity shaped by myth, wine and slow living.
Discovery
The brand needed to evoke the feeling of a traditional Italian wine bar and deli while reflecting the natural, artisanal character of its products.
Concept
Several directions explored Mediterranean symbols and characters, including Parthenope, Augustus and more playful interpretations connected to wine culture.
Refinement
The selected direction centred on Parthenope, connecting the identity to local mythology and to the story of her profile being visible in the shape of Capri.
ELEGANT RETAIL IDENTITY
