SOS — a KIAM studio case study

A visual governance system for a scientific body — built for daily use, not for display.

A scientific body in a sensitive sector, needing an identity that balances scientific authority with medical neutrality. We built an orbital mark inspired by the iris around the national emblem, in a strict monochrome system.

Not a display identity but a governance system: usage rules built to survive many implementing hands — from building signage to letterhead to vehicle livery.
