Well well well… Today, we would like to talk about how it can be interesting to push your idea further even when it looks stupid.
We, at Deuux, have recently launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for a side project of collectible pins.

If a designer cannot do that, the only thing he’ll create is frustration & burred passion… Just like a singer won’t sing, or an artist won’t paint. No need to create gorgeous products with revolutionary ideas and big budgets. Just having an idea and making it happen even if it is small, stupid, or not. …

For this first case study, we are going take the example of how we were contacted to create a premium logo typography, for a new investment fund named Antwort.
The first step of all creation is to begin defining and understanding the right position of the future brand in today’s market. …
