303 Design Squadron

The studio identity of the 303 Design Squadron.

303 Design Squadron is the name of a Porto Alegre, Brazil based design studio specializing in the fields of branding and visual communication.

The main studio branding including design and name is inspired by a group of well experienced and talented polish pilots from the Second World War who voluntarily served the Royal Air Force and formed what turned out to be their best and most effective squad, The 303 Polish Fighter Squadron. The creative team decided to metaphorically incorporate the name for their own design studio. The number 303 was used as iconic logotype. The illustration of an old fighter jet from World War II creates a visual connection to this historical context. The design of the business cards and the complete stationery set is characterized by simplicity and clear typography.
