Rebranding New Mags (a curated bookstore in Copenhagen) began with comprehensive brand research and strategy, analyzing the store’s interior, editorial curation philosophy, and position within Denmark’s design culture. Three distinct creative directions were developed, each with supporting naming and tagline strategies, before selecting the strongest concept for full identity development and brand touchpoint application. The chosen direction, Bound, was selected for its layered meaning (books, craftsmanship, and a sense of place), and positions the store confidently within Copenhagen’s refined design landscape. The tagline Copenhagen’s Refined Reads reinforces the store’s intentional, hand-selected inventory, signaling taste and editorial authority to its audience. The visual identity was built around restraint and cultural specificity. A sleek, minimalist typeface reflects the store’s interior of raw wood and cement textures translated into a warm, muted color palette. The logomark emerged from extensive exploration rooted in Danish iconography: a bicycle with books stacked on the seat, integrated into the counter of the B in Bound, grounding the brand in its city without being literal. A supporting pattern system was developed from the same counter forms, scaling across print, packaging, digital, and environmental applications. The result is a cohesive brand system precise enough to feel premium and flexible enough to live across every touchpoint New Mags needs.
