01
CHALLENGE

A print brand that blended in

PrintMo, slang for "print more," was an online printing marketplace that needed a distinctive identity to stand out across digital and physical touchpoints.

02
APPROACH

Meet Mo the Monkey

Spotted "Mo" in the first two letters of "monkey" and concepted Mo the Monkey, with CMYK-inspired traits tied to the print industry.

03
IDENTITY

Built to flex around Mo

Defined the logo lockups, type, and CMYK-based color palette, so Mo and the wordmark work together or apart.

An ownable identity in a crowded market.

Let's build something worth noticing.
