Mīharo is the Māori word for ‘wonder’ as in “I wonder what happens if…” and “let’s make wonderful things.” To launch our Innovation Lab we wanted an identity that speaks to imagination and breaking the rules.
We started with a wordmark and our brand colours. Dialling up black gave a sophisticated futuristic feel while magenta added energy. The key design element is a simple line graphic, coupled with pops of magenta, to produce a sun, an eye, an open door, a superhero cape and more. These graphic stories, coupled with bold language, offer an irreverent feel.
