The creative people at studio Futura created this fresh, fun brand identity for Oop. OOP is an ice cream shop based in Qatar. Based on the friendly and familiar concept, the people at studio Futura created a visual experience that looks fun with a nostalgic wink.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

It is an interesting word game that is a sort of cross between hangman and crossword puzzle but is actually very different from both of them. However, the interesting aspect of Wordle is not just the dynamics of the game but there’s a lot more to it.
