While many satellite companies lean into repeatability with copy-paste designs, Oligo Space is unique for every client, bringing wonder back to the space industry. Oligo is a design and manufacturing company in Los Angeles that creates custom satellites for a wide array of businesses.
We worked with Oligo’s team to position them as The Mad Scientist: a brand strategy and identity that champions unorthodox ideas. It captures how Oligo relentlessly tinkers, dreams, and grows.
The logo depicts the intangible Aether material orbiting the center dot like a satellite orbiting Earth.
We developed a tool to produce bespoke, stylized gradients inspired by wind tunnel tests and the ethereal atmosphere of space.
We helped Oligo communicate both their software and hardware capabilities to an audience of businesses that have never worked with space manufacturing by baking this relationship into every aspect of the identity.
We utilized Nippo and Chillax as typefaces to represent both sides of the company, and overlapped them to create a library of shapes that allude to Oligo’s custom satellites. These forms provide a range of usage from expressive information to full compositions.
Working with the Oligo team was one of our favorite processes so far. We love brands that are rooted in big-picture personality and allow us to get in the weeds on every little detail.
