Visual identity · FSSD Lawyers

Four partners, one symbol.

FSSD Advogados is a law firm founded by four partners, each specialising in a different field of law. The firm needed an identity that shows its strength as a group, with a tone of voice focused on its clients’ needs.

The brief
01

Collective expertise as a brand.

Many law firms brand around one big name. FSSD wanted the opposite: the power of the group. Each partner brings a different specialisation, and their real value is in working together.

The result is a visual system grounded in strategic problem-solving and a commitment to clients’ complex needs.

The system
03

Colour, symbol, composition and contrast.

Everything comes back to the group of four: the interlocked symbol becomes patterns, icons for each practice area and textures across print.

It pairs with a classic serif, Libre Baskerville, and Noto Sans, in a high-contrast red, black and white palette that reads well in print and on screen.

Carrying the brand every day.

To take the brand off paper and screens, I also proposed tie textures and enamel pins, so the partners can wear the power of four wherever they go.
