Separation Solution

Visual identity, logo design and typography for a petroleum separation technology company.

The brief

A laboratory's discipline, a film still's drama

Indigo is a petroleum separation technology company, and the identity treats energy work like classified research. Monochrome cinematic photography puts people first, bracketed indices file every artifact, and one geometric sans does all the talking. Color is held back for exactly two moments, an electric ultramarine and a burning orange that fill entire panels instead of decorating them.

Turn it. Monochrome, people first, filed under one index.

The mark

The wordmark is drawn, not set: even stems, flat terminals, and tracking opened just far enough that the letters read as instruments on a panel. Everything else in the identity is filed underneath it.

The archive

Filed, worn, archived

The archival layer becomes physical. A tabbed folder indexed like a records office, a technical jacket printed in metallic white. One voice at every scale, from screen to fabric.

Built for tomorrow

Colour is held back for exactly two moments, an electric ultramarine and a burning orange, and both fill whole panels instead of decorating them.
