Wilgart was looking for an appealing logo and profound visual identity. We had several meetings with font designer and senior art director Leon Sloth. He is a strong visual observer and idea generator, with much experience in exposing the heart of a company, and turning that into a beautifully custom-made logo, and strives for creative solutions to every challenge he is facing. Leon is now Co-Founder of Today Studio in Copenhagen.

In 2019 we had the pleasure of working with Thomas Mougeolle, in his photography project: Magic Hands of Copenhagen. As he wrote himself about the project: “I took my camera and met with those that creates Copenhagen with their own hands. In the darkness of their workshop, without any noise, they make the dream come true. Mixing light and materials. The creative alchemy is their daily life.”
