01 · Position

A mark is
an object,
not a picture.

It has weight, an edge, and a side you have not seen yet. That is the difference between a logo that survives a truck door and one that survives a slide.

02 · Services

Four services.
Each one
finishes.

01

Brand Strategy

A position you can say out loud without wincing.

02

Identity Design

Drawn for the hardest surface first. Everything easier comes free.

03

Naming

Names that survive a trademark search and a bad phone line.

04

Brand Systems

Rules and files the person on your team will actually use.

03 · Proof

Then it runs
without us.

Identities built for surfaces that do not forgive.

Nine people
in Denver.

Since 2016

Larimer Street

Larimer Street

We started in a rented room on Larimer Street with two people and one client. We are nine now and the room is bigger, but the way we work has not changed much. We do the strategy and the drawing with the same hands.

We work mostly with companies that make physical things: freight, instruments, food, transit, care. Their surfaces are unforgiving and they tell you fast when something does not work.

Step one

We find out what you are.

Two to three weeks. Interviews, a look at what you have, a written position you can argue with.

Step two

We draw.

Four to six weeks. Fewer directions than you expect, each finished enough to judge.

Step three

We hand it over properly.

Files, rules, and a working session with whoever will use them. We stay reachable after.
