Varsity
Rebranding Varsity, a European VC fund, with a warm and human identity built around one idea: founders think better when they're backed by more than one mind.

The world runs on systems made to go unnoticed.
When GTD Space Security breaks away from its parent company to become Celeres, the challenge is not to reinvent itself, but to reveal what has always been there. Celeres brings thirty-nine years of critical engineering expertise across space, defence and energy, operating systems for environments where failure is not an option. At Kourou, the company is responsible for the security of France’s space launch site. Ground control, telemetry, real-time monitoring: when a rocket launches without incident, no one notices the absence of an incident. That was the starting point for our strategic positioning. Some of history’s most critical advances rely on invisible infrastructure. Celeres has always been that essential foundation, and its brand baseline captures this role precisely. The logo was therefore conceived as a keystone, the wedge-shaped stone placed at the top of an arch to lock the whole structure into place. The symbol also pays tribute to the company’s Franco-Spanish identity. Southern Romanesque architecture developed on both sides of the Pyrenees within a shared cultural landscape, long before borders divided it. Drawing on the same inspiration, the art direction embraces a deliberate paradox: making visible what usually goes unnoticed. Grids, margins and construction lines, the very elements that structure a layout but disappear from its final rendering, become the identity’s central motif. This was paired with technical typography, generous negative space and a restrained colour palette. Strategic, visual and verbal identity, website design and development, marketing and launch materials give Celeres a voice and a face, essential assets in making the company recognisable to future partners.

Rebranding Varsity, a European VC fund, with a warm and human identity built around one idea: founders think better when they're backed by more than one mind.
Celeres designs, integrates and supports the software and systems that critical missions depend on across space, defence, transport and public services. We created a strategic, visual and verbal identity, along with a new website, to reveal its essential role in environments where failure is not an option.

Alaska State Archives is a public institution responsible for preserving the state’s records. We redesigned the entire interface while respecting the institutional constraints of working with a government body, and brought Alaska’s history to the forefront by turning archival materials into core design elements.

For Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, Rimowa wanted more than a simple collaboration. Bruno reinterpreted its iconic aluminium suitcase through the visual language of Pokémon, creating an object where both worlds feel naturally connected.

Qonto turned to the agency to lay the foundations of its brand universe. From digital design to web development, including the credit card design, the goal was to inject energy into a fast-growing brand.
