Bold, innovative and entrepreneurial

Law firms by their nature are risk-averse. One of our clients, Coffin Mew has a different mind-set. We encouraged them to explore that difference with us and take a voyage of brand discovery which could permeate through every aspect of their business and reflect their ambitions and philosophy.

The Coffin Mew team came to The Graphic Design House with the 2020 strategy. They wanted to move their newly merged company forward and show they were a bold, innovative and entrepreneurial law firm that provided legal advice to individual clients, entrepreneurs, SMEs and corporates.

Researching we discovered their distinctive name is derived from the old French word ‘coffin’ meaning weave.

We saw an opportunity for an identity that could complement their business strategy and join the company and the client in a clear visual representation using a weave.
