Kuano
Brand Identity

Kuano is an industry-leading team of physicists, chemists, and computer scientists committed to using cutting-edge technologies that combine drug discovery to make a difference in people’s lives. Kuano's approach is to combine state-of-the-art simulation and AI to add quantum detail to structure-based drug discovery. Our unique fusion of drug hunting and technology expertise allows us to illuminate new areas of chemical space enabling the design of next-generation medicines.

Kuano needed a brand new look and feel as they developed their offering in 2020. They were looking for something fresh and bold, that would set them apart in their sector. We wanted to move away from the more obvious 'dark tech' approach so built around electric blue as the principal brand colour. A simple abstract origami-esque 'K' marque was developed, the idea being it alluded to both 2D and 3D environments and would be bought to life in motion – folding, revealing, and morphing into various configurations.

The brand work is still very much in progress and we continue to work in the background, ahead of more updates in 2023.
