A logo with a secret. Inside the lettering of the new Forme logo there is a hidden handle, created by lowering the vertical shaft of the letter “f” and detaching it from the horizontal one. An almost secret detail, it’s a symbol that represents the idea of a discreet, exclusive design, which is revealed little by little. Attentive to what it displays as well as what it hides. “ The logo is the first building block of change. We wanted to tie ourselves to the past with the use of a lighter lower case lettering, but also firmly distinguish the new path of the brand, with additional details and...
