CCL KIds & Youth

Branding, Print

The brief was to develop a cohesive brand architecture for Christ Church London's younger generations—a single system that could speak credibly to a three-year-old and a seventeen-year-old without feeling stretched or compromised. That tension between accessibility and credibility was the central design problem.

The system is anchored by Piepie, chosen for its inherent playfulness and versatility. For the Kids identity, the typeface is paired with energetic graphic elements and a primary palette. As the system matures into Youth, the identity shifts: the logo moves to uppercase, distressed motion introduces edge and expressiveness, and gradients and grainy textures add the visual weight needed for an older audience. One typeface, two distinct voices—the architecture holds them together without flattening either.
