Berlin-based studio Mirage created a pixel-focused brand identity for French tech start-up TiHive, inspired by the electromagnetic spectrum and the company’s TeraHertz technology. The identity features multicolour gradients, a futuristic logotype, and a typographic system combining Space Grotesk, Formular, and Space Mono. The result conveys innovation and technological progress through a vivid, spectrum-based visual language.
