About
Year: 2020
The Local Bard Inc. is a digital content creation platform that describes itself as a "loud, critical, multi-faceted and a thought-provoking reflection of society.". They do just that in the form of humorous, witty and well-directed skits.
To translate this "voice in the noise", they came to Studio Sorted to visually develop brand identity and explore different ways to translate the boldness of this satirical content.
Branding
In a world full of nonsensical clatter, we bring Local Bard's ‘no-bullshit’ ideology to life with our straightforward and clear brand language, visual identity and graphic style. For this, we developed various collaterals and assets that had a loud, confident and vibrant visual identity.  Similarly, the colours come from a familiar palette that everyone can relate to.
How about some branding on our favourite soup cans? Our sassy 3D mouths and Local-Bard themed everyday objects unapologetically capture Local Bard’s whimsical moods and spicy comments on our society.
