3 OWL



Internal rebrand for 3 Owl, a multidisciplinary design agency based in Atlanta. As our agency grew in size and scope, it became clear that a refinement of the existing identity was necessary. By leaning into the characteristics people associated with us, we developed a new identity & website that felt, at once, mysterious, quirky and practical.
