A design evolution serving investigation

After ten years with the same visual identity, the independent media group Indigo Publications is entering a new strategic phase. This redesign is not merely a cosmetic update; it is intended to reposition Indigo as a modern, agile, and more personified media brand. The goal is to bolster global strategic objectives and to refine an iconography that no longer suits contemporary communication standards.

A living identity

The Indigo Publications logo now features a semi-radial element when paired with the brand name, and a full radial design when used as a standalone icon. It can also be combined with a complementary half, illustrating the specific fields of expertise of our publications.

This identity in motion captures the energy driving Indigo Publications.

Concept genesis: returning to the source of Indigo

 The design process was built on a return to the group’s origins, while projecting its core values into the future. The name "Indigo" itself stems from the indigo plant, a symbol of the Indian Ocean and a direct nod to the group’s very first publication: The Indian Ocean Newsletter.

To craft this new identity, the Creative Team tapped into several powerful symbolic and linguistic themes:

  • The group’s core foundations: investigative reporting, independence, and international perspective.
  • Media iconography: featuring the quill, lead type, and the magnifying glass
  • The radiance of information, highlighting the global reach of our publications.
