A clever, adaptable identity here for a music venue and restaurant in trendy old east London. Designed by Studio Remote, the identity was created for Brilliant Corners and takes the venue’s name and its interior architecture as the starting point for a geometry-led look and feel.

The restaurant, based just up the road from INT Towers, has used Studio Remote’s clever cut-out identity across all applications, proving its versatility across numerous event posters and a 3D-look website with lovely little floating orbs that sail across the screen.

This sort of graphics-led project is something of an unusual one for Studio Remote, which works mostly in digital design and art direction. Among its other strange and innovative commissions are a trippy interactive website for Hudson Mohawke and a suitable cinematic website for Warp Films.

A geometric illustration featuring a composition of black triangles and shards against a light blue background. A pale yellow square sits behind the central shapes, creating a layered, architectural effect.

A collage of fragmented images. A close-up of an eye with heavy makeup is set against a bright pink background, alongside a blurred image of a white flower and a grainy black and white crop of another eye.

A black abstract composition on a pale blue background. A large central circle is intersected by thick vertical and horizontal bars.

A portrait of a person wearing a purple garment and beaded jewellery, partially obscured by a series of black geometric shapes. The sharp triangles and diamonds create a fragmented, collage-like effect across the image.

An abstract composition of geometric shapes in black, pale pink and blue. Sharp angles and flat planes overlap to create a fragmented, architectural arrangement.

An abstract geometric composition in red, black and cream. A thick black cross-like shape sits atop a red field, which is sliced diagonally by a black wedge.
