Project Overview

We were approached by director, Jen Araki, and her actor husband, Dylan Playfair, to develop the brand for their Vancouver-based production company specializing in films, music videos, and documentaries. The team sought an identity that would position the firm as a young and innovative, elite, and artistic collective of filmmakers focused on producing meaningful work. We researched other global production companies, viewed the team’s existing film and documentary work, and underwent extensive meetings with the company principals to uncover their authentic story.

Brand Strategy

We developed a Brand Strategy based on the firm’s ambition to prove that Vancouver possesses creative and storytelling talent on par with any city in the world. As such, we positioned the brand as the leader of a community of local creatives telling ambitious and meaningful stories.

Brand Identity

Crystal Mountain’s Brand Identity is notable for its versatile logo system that dynamically adjusts to reflect the company’s film and production divisions. The brand’s clean, yet edgy color palette is balanced by a custom gradient texture that represents the firm’s focus on tackling nuanced and and ambitious subject matter.
