Establishing a platform
Playground was tasked with creating a visual identity for the student-market consultancy, FortyOneFive. The work conveys the company’s young and confident nature while maintaining the personal symbolism of the name.
Humble beginnings
Stemming from their beginnings in student leadership, the name takes after the office number the founders occupied most of their time during university. The challenge was creating something that showcased the name and the significance behind it. This inspired the combined use of creating a logo based on spelling out the numbers as the primary mark and using the numerical derivative as an alternative.
