Nōua is an atelier based in Bodø, run by the artists Marianne Bjørnmyr and Dan Mariner. As well as being Marianne and Dan’s workplace, Nōua is also a meeting place and a studio focusing on photography. Through exhibitions, workshops, and lectures the goal is to bring attention to contemporary photography.

Our response to Marianne and Dan’s request for a fitting identity for Nōua was to develop a dynamic and scalable identity system, which is easy to maintain and adapts to different platforms and messages without compromising its clarity. Based on a custom logotype, the identity can be subtle and let the art take centre stage. It can also be playful and act as the focal point of the identity, for instance through animations, or as a starting point for Nōua’s bespoke icon set.
