quirk+quill

A little nostalgia. A lot of personality.

Creative agencies are in the business of making other brands distinctive. Their own should be no exception.

quirk+quill was built around a deliberate contrast between old and new. The name nodded to traditional creativity and the written word, while the visual identity brought that nostalgia into a much more contemporary world.

Think analogue charm, translated for a digital age.

Black and white created the foundation. Nostalgic references, typography and editorial details gave the brand character, while pixels and digital cues pulled it firmly into the present. Soft pastel colours disrupted the monochrome without overpowering it, creating moments of playfulness within an otherwise restrained identity.

The same thinking carried into the brand personality. quirk+quill needed to feel creatively credible without becoming creatively intimidating, particularly for business owners who knew they needed a stronger brand but didn’t necessarily speak the language of branding.

So the complexity stayed behind the scenes. What the client experienced was something simpler: personality, clarity and ideas they could understand. A brand built to take creativity seriously, without taking itself too seriously.
