Imagining a strong and durable identity

Brand identity, Design UX, UI

The mandate is to create a visual identity that highlights their mission to make cities more socially inclusive and less impactful on the environment, while enhancing the well-being of residents.

To create this brand identity, we turned directly to the very essence of the name.

A 'Curb cut' is the small slope that connects the sidewalk to the road, thus facilitating the movement of people in the city, especially those using wheelchairs or pushing strollers. Therefore, we drew inspiration from this element to create abstract shapes symbolizing connection and inclusive mobility. The colors are contrasting and accessible for a lively and warm outcome.

Curbcut is a platform for exploring urban sustainability at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

It offers an approach to urban issues focused on justice and inclusion, integrating the widest possible range of information to help inform interested citizens, communities, researchers, and policymakers.

We were commissioned to give shape and color to the data collection platform by creating a vibrant and warm brand identity that can be adapted for several other cities.
