A three-slide carousel showcasing Dum Dum Studio's brand identity system with animated logos, hand-drawn mark treatments, and conceptual line art, with motion credits included.
Summary
Animated brand-identity presentation for Dum Dum Studio (a Mexico City collaborative design studio) featuring circular logo masks, hand-drawn line art, and layered collage compositions that suggest motion and fluidity.
Visual description
Slide 1 combines a blurred photographic element (looks like organic matter or foliage) with overlaid circular badges in pastel yellow and blue, each containing outlined letters (D, U, M). A tape banner and small circular sticker graphics add tactile texture. A business card with serif and sans-serif type sits at the center. Slide 2 duplicates the circular badges in a cleaner composition, with the hand-scrawled studio name ("Dum Dum") in script. Slide 3 pivots to a dense line-drawn composition: abstract scribbled forms, sketched animals, text reading "brands are dreams," and a services list (Branding, Merchandising, Creative services, etc.) in a light blue box. The palette is muted-beige, pale blue, pale yellow, black, gray-and favors soft textures and hand-made qualities throughout.
Key takeaway
The circular badge system as a modular identifier that can nest and scale. Hand-drawn line work layered over photography creates visual depth without hierarchy. The use of off-white/beige and pastels as a cohesive, sophisticated alternative to stark black-and-white corporate design. Motion (referenced by the animated film credit) is present but not overwhelming-the stills communicate elegance and intentionality.
Reuse notes
Perfect model for creative studios and collaborative practices where eclecticism and human-made quality are brand values. The circular mark-system works well for studios that need flexibility across touchpoints. Pair with generous whitespace and natural textures (paper, photography of organic forms) to extend the aesthetic. The hand-drawn line art language is reusable across contexts as secondary illustration.
