German Design Award

Objective

We wanted to define HF0's look and feel so that the brand would represent dedication and perseverance in building big things. The resulting identity speaks about the transformation of ideas and outlooks, which HF0 residency leads to.

Brand

The sphere is a core element of HF0 identity. Its' dynamics represents the continuously developing HF0 community. We created a shape generator to allow HF0 internal team to create infinite sphere animations for their purposes.

Website

HF0 website welcomes engineers, founders, would-be entrepreneurs and leaders to join a residency program and hyper-focus on their projects for 3 months. Matched with the identity, website is purposefully simple and straightforward, without extraneous details, to bring attention to the premise.

Review

“HF0 branding identity has been honored with the German Design Award 2024 in the Excellent Communications Design category.”
