Every company has a gap: the space between how they see themselves and how they’re actually seen.
The only way to bridge it is to identify what’s most true about the company — the trait customers already feel, even if the company hasn’t articulated it yet.
In my Insights post, I break down the two lenses and explain how “the gap” can be resolved. #BrandIdentity

From our Portfolio: Creative development for MetLife’s “Promises Kept” campaign, produced as a full out‑of‑home takeover at Washington, DC’s Union Station, featuring posters, banners, and digital display placements.

Strong identities look simple. They aren’t. Here’s the work, the decisions, and the discipline that make a brand system feel inevitable—and the one thing that ultimately makes it stick. Full post: maxhancock.co/post/the-work-…#brandstrategy#graphicdesign
From our digital design archives: The design of Cosmopolitan’s Watch Party app, created with Pitch Interactive, a mobile experience built around The Hills that includes trivia, live reactions, and integrated shopping for items featured in the episodes.

From the MH&Co. Archives: Design and foundational graphics for USIP’s Global Peacebuilding Center website, built in an experiential style popular at the time, centered on classroom use and featuring a virtual passport.
Most naming debates happen in spreadsheets. But the real decision happens when you see the name in use. I wrote about the visual test every name must pass — full post: maxhancock.co/post/the-visua…
@WebDesignMuseum I forgot about that application. Had to use it for preping some images for websites. Before that we used DeBabelizer... Anyone remember that one?
@CowboyJobu I saw it too. They are in distant formation... we get black hawks flying around here, training, all the time, but this is the first I've seen Jets come this way.
@WebDesignMuseum I didn't work on his website, but I did work on David Bowie's first website long ago. It's great to see Ozzy's old site... and, I didn't know he passed away until just now.

It makes no sense why they would do this. I didn't join an agency that hides their designers own brand, I joined Dribbble a platform to build a portfolio. There are other ways to implement their goal without doing this. If the change ultimately as drastic as it sounds, I'll cancel my account. I don't need Dribble!
