About Designers Brasileiros Brand Identity
The brand of the website Designers Brasileiros consists of a panel in the shape of the letter D composed by geometric pieces that fit together and represent the design specialties. These pieces are shapes extracted from the Brazilian flag and also form the letter B and a toucan. The toucan was defined by the fact that it is one of the largest seed dispersers of Brazilian fauna and one of those responsible for the formation of tropical forests. Thus, for the brand, the dispersion of seeds by the toucan conceptually symbolizes the dissemination of knowledge that is the purpose of the website.
Tiago de Albuquerque Sales e Kiemle's Designers Brasileiros Brand Identity exemplifies the sophisticated integration of geometric modernism with tropical visual culture, creating a distinctive identity system that celebrates creative heritage while embracing contemporary design principles. The work demonstrates remarkable facility in constructing a memorable monogram through the precise orchestration of semicircular arcs, triangular segments, and rectangular forms that interlock to suggest the initials of the organization while transcending mere typographic abbreviation to achieve symbolic resonance. The chromatic strategy reveals thoughtful consideration of both functional clarity and cultural expression, deploying a primary palette of deep navy against warm cream that ensures legibility across diverse applications, while strategic insertions of green, yellow, and red introduce vibrancy without compromising visual coherence. Technical accomplishment manifests in the seamless scalability evidenced by the pattern application on the smartphone screen, where the geometric vocabulary maintains integrity at reduced dimensions through careful attention to stroke weight relationships and proportional spacing. The inclusion of tropical botanical elements and indigenous fauna within the presentation context suggests an embrace of regional identity that transcends superficial decoration, instead proposing visual language rooted in environmental and cultural specificity. The modular construction of the mark invites consideration of systematic design thinking, where individual components derive meaning through their relationships within a carefully calibrated whole. One might observe how the curvilinear elements soften what could otherwise feel rigid or mechanical, while the angular insertions provide structural counterpoint that prevents the composition from becoming overly organic. The work invites contemplation of how contemporary visual identity systems might honor cultural distinctiveness while participating in global design discourse, suggesting that authentic regional expression and international design sophistication need not be opposing forces but rather complementary aspects of meaningful visual communication.

- Production Technology
- Developed graphically in golden ratio, with a specific technique called squared golden ratio. For this, the gold rectangles are positioned proportionally to form a gold square. This square served as the grid that formed a harmonic and intentionally proportional symbol.
- Design Challenge
- The great challenge was to represent in a brand the idea of disseminating knowledge to designers in a Brazilian and charismatic way.
- Project Duration
- This project started in October 2020 and was completed in January 2021 to commemorate the 10 years of Blog Designers Brasileiros
- Operation Flow
- A visual identity that takes the viewer to the design, culture and nature of Brazil.
- Research
- Everything was developed with a design project methodology that involved research on the client's history, Brazilian culture, golden ratio techniques applied to design and studies on how to graphically represent concepts such as the dissemination of knowledge in the areas of design in a Brazilian way.
- Inspiration
- For the visual identity of an important Blog aimed at the Brazilian design market, focused on the dissemination of knowledge in the area, was used a set of references that express the design, art and nature of Brazil. These sources of visual and cultural inspiration were sought in the national flag, fauna, flora and in renowned names of art, such as Athos Bulcao and Di Cavalcanti.
