Rebrand to craft a modern look and feel

Introduction
After watching the 'Unnatural Selection' docu-series, I had a long lasting itch of applying my brand strategy and design learnings for one of the main DIY biotech operators pictured in the show, The ODIN run by Josiah Zayner.

Creating great digital experiences

Hello, I'm a transmedia Identity/UI designer living in Berlin.

My story

Raised in the depths of  underground music.

I'm a self-taught transmedia identity designer, raised and trained in the depths of obscure underground music scenes.

Currently developing UX/UI and brand startegy skills, with a focus on the hi-tech and media industries.

Even if I've been a lone wolf until this point, I'm more than keen of working in teams I can grow with and have some damn good time.

As a freelance, I operate under the moniker of Kongregant.

Rebrand to craft a modern look and feel

Introduction
After watching the 'Unnatural Selection' docu-series, I had a long lasting itch of applying my brand strategy and design learnings for one of the main DIY biotech operators pictured in the show, The ODIN run by Josiah Zayner.

assessment & Development

After checking his company website, I realized that so much could be improved in terms of brand strategy and aesthetic intelligence in order to reach a whole new army of enthusiasts, being them DIY home-lab researchers or disruptive pharma investors.

The main tasks I've individuated are:

- redefine the aesthetic experience to amplify the chances of appeal, shareability and reach of new DIY biohackers enthusiasts - they are typically highly driven by science, arts, alternative lifestyles and esotherism; forward-thinkers, eager to express themeselves and at the same time break the big-pharma and mainstream science establishment.

- keep a high-level profile in order to stay relevant to venture capitals and investors looking for emerging disruptive startups in the pharma and biotech industry.

B/A Comparison

Wordmark

The wordmark has been totally reinvented to keep it modern and unique and at the same time clear and legible, even in the extremely scaled applications of tiny printed labels and social media avatars. Stands out among the competition without loosing professional profile.

EMBLEM CONCEPT

The  Viking symbolism present in the previous logo got ditched in favor of a more unique take compared to other homonymous brands solutions, also in order to appeal to a similarly esotheric but broader forward-thinking psychographics.
Despite this, the meaning has been left intact and condensed into the mark, keeping in mind The ODIN’s mission of making the genetic biohacking knowledge and practices accessible to the most.

Dark cobalt blue and grey shades are the colors that many Norse sources attribute to Odin’s appearance. A pale, highly contrasting green is on the other hand the mesmerizing glow that can be obtained thanks to the Bioluminescent Bacteria Grow Kit.
The combination of such elements creates a contemporary, hi-tech, highly unusual palette that stands out among the common corporate solutions.
