Indigo
Life, On Purpose.

Evolving Canada’s largest retailer in books and lifestyle.
The Context
What started out as a bookstore in 1996, has become Canada’s cultural department store that spans almost every category in home and lifestyle. With an identity originally designed by Bruce Mau in the 90s, Indigo approached to Wedge to evolve, modernize, and redefine the brand world, platform, and point-of-view to better reflect what it had become in support of its omnichannel future.
The Insight
Simply put, Indigo is a place of discovery. It’s where you go to dive into new passions and interests, and discover more of the things that matter to you. A place to get lost—intentionally.
The Big Idea & Success
Life, on purpose. Indigo as a place to find what’s you. An energizing brand world that revives an ethos based on joyful discovery and ideas, for all generations. The brand platform launched across Indigo's stores, campaigns and digital experience in 2022. Reaffirming its place as the beloved iconic retail, for today’s rhythm.





Typography
Our design team took an editorial approach to typography with a combination of playful yet classic fonts that pulls a contemporary font inspired by the logomark into the system itself. A clever solution that makes the 1996 logo design feel fresh again.








“Wedge delivered refreshing, brand-defining assets that felt fresh, versatile, and could stand the test of time for a very diverse offering
A passionate team of thinkers that put facts and feelings into the work and you can really see it and feel it.”
