DELLI

HATO

June 2022

DELLI is a new food app created by Depop founder Simon Beckerman. HATO were approached to create a visual identity for the brand, as well as the app and website design for their internal team to develop. Explore DELLI here.

We first looked into the history of Delicatessens around the world, finding final inspiration in the US for the DELLI wordmark. The logo sits atop earthy yet bright palettes that reference some of the masters of Italian design such as Enzo Mari. To tie it together, the photography direction is real, honest and a snapshot into the moment; no ‘can you just hold that there for a sec.’

Kew Gardens: The Wander Project; Summer Festival 2023

HATO, Kew Gardens
3D Designer: Andres Ros Soto

May 2023

The Wander Project was Kew Gardens’ theme for their Summer 2023 festival. Centered around the idea of voices within nature, the festival asked influential people from the arts through to science to provide a thoughtful sentiment for the reader to think about or act on. The idea was to get people to feel connected to the environment around them, inspiring adults and children alike.

The festival was a unique opportunity to create something unexpected within such a renowned setting. We wanted to utilise the environment at Kew as much as possible, positioning each ‘voice’ to seem as if it were appearing from the landscape itself. We focused the brief by applying a set number of Small, Medium and Large sculptures, allowing guests to ‘collect’ each within a trail setting alongside printed guidebook.

In late 2022, HATO were approached to craft a rebrand and global campaign for professional photography software Capture One. The brief for the brand was to engage with the talented and creative users that create their work with the tool, but seldom speak about it, and the global video campaign for the new iPhone app launch continued this theme, whilst targeting a more USA audience. Please note parts of this project have not yet launched.

Details to the rebrand include a custom mono typeface and wordmark, inspired by the engraved lettering and numerals on original Phase One lenses, as well as a design system based on true-to-life actions undertaken whilst shooting. For the campaign, we targeted photographers who shoot outdoors to prove Capture One isn’t just for the studio. The visuals chosen focused on a fashion-led shoot that mirrored the concept of ‘Freedom to Move’. 

Good-Loop

HATO

January 2024

In Summer 2023, HATO were approached by good media agency Good-Loop to overhaul their brand and website. Good-Loop’s digital adspace means viewers who complete the video advertisement get to select a charity to donate to on behalf of the advertiser. This means the advertiser gets more completed watches, and the user gets to benefit charity (without actually paying a penny themselves). We dubbed it a ‘win-win’.

After 2 collaborative workshop sessions, we crafted a logo that would double as an accreditation ‘mark for good’. Good-Loop’s classic red was updated to a punchy, contemporary berry shade, and a player-style animation approach meant the brand could adapt to all advertising formats with ease.

MM:NT is an upcoming hotel chain focused on targeting a specific audience and ultra fast growth. Coming A/W 2023 to a small tester hotel in Berlin, it’s set to expand across Europe and the USA soon after. Explore MM:NT here.

We built the brand around moments that feel fleeting when travelling, focusing on the clock as a visual touchpoint for the concept to anchor to a specific time captured through photography. The brand is crafyed to target a young, cool, and creative audience without feeling exclusive.
