How&How Creates Brand Identity for AI Platform Ideogram

digital · 2026-06-09

How&How has launched a new brand identity for Ideogram, a platform focused on generative AI. The identity is anchored by an innovative logo of a brain that cleverly forms a negative-space 'I,' rendered in deep navy against a light white background. Supporting elements include a cream serif typeface and a color palette of navy, cream, and black. Generative visuals incorporate a violet-to-rose gradient. The verbal identity, crafted by copywriter Will Nicklin, emphasizes themes of alignment and balance. Creative Director Chris Clayton led the project, with design contributions from Robbie Isaacs and Stefano Barbieri, highlighting craftsmanship in AI branding.
