Hive
Identity for the independent web and graphic design studio that led to the formation of AKOFA Creative.
As we had mentioned before with the FATCO identity, there is always an origin story as to why we get into the creative arts and one of the paths to the formation of AKOFA Creative begins with the Hive.
In the early years of AKOFA Creative, around the late 1990's, we had considered a few names to represent our freelance design efforts perfectly. Names such as ATIGA, Hittite Technologies and the Gashouse Guerillas were top of the list until a trip overseas had opened our eyes to new designs we would have never seen in the US. That trip inspired us to think about how we developed our work in a cohesive and mutual fashion. This new insight combined with design cues from the Orange telecom logo, gave birth to the Hive identity.

Identity in various colorways that retain the "bumblebee" theme.
