The basics
Momentive’s visual foundations: black and white photograph to project gravitas, geometric shapes to suggest data, and a color palette designed to convey refinement
Make bold decisions
Shape what's next
The vision
Momentive had a powerful value prop, “Make bold decisions” however, early graphics, washes of pastel or reduced opacity shapes over black and white photography, didn’t feel “bold”
Applied
We built from white, injecting intentionality into the designs, using shape and negative shape to increase tension, introducing higher contrast, and creating more engaging, impactful visual designs
In the wild
Live Event - The Kiss approach = Less is more!
Refined
Muted fields of color were systematically replaced with full-bleed color and greater dynamic range to create a cohesive visual language built on design basics to elevate the visual designs across all deliverables
Reflection - what worked and why
We recruited our organic social channels as incubators for ideas and experimentation. We found many surprising successes and extended those visual motifs throughout our brand identity
