But here’s the thing — it’s not just a pretty picture. It’s your brand’s face at every party; it's a silent ambassador who speaks before you do. Thinking about logo design , consider the golden arches, swoosh, or the bitten apple.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Daniel Libeskind’s work in architecture and urban design, professionally and academically, has always reflected a mind whose curiosities extend well beyond the field of his own sometimes insular profession. This propensity to maintain a culturally holistic perspective makes for an ideal collaborator. And it is this trait that brought together the architect with fine spirits maker Hennessy in 2022 for the design of a sharply angled and asymmetrical bottle celebrating the cognac distiller

That year, a modest romanesque rotunda was built to honour the saint — in light of the fact that the Duke of Bohemia had recently acquired the Christian martyr’s right hand as a holy artifact. Some hundred years later, the church was expanded into a larger romanesque basilica.
