Lotus Peak is a fiction film studio producing scripted stories for streamers, cinema, and the international festival circuit. From its inception, the ambition was clear: not only to make films, but to create an environment where stories could take root and grow.
We joined as creative partners at the very beginning. The task was to build a brand that could hold its own beside established production houses while staying flexible enough to adapt to the voice of each project.
Lotus Peak was launching with only a name. To secure early partners and funding, the studio needed a credible identity that inspired trust from day one. At the same time, the brand had to be versatile: visible when the studio was in focus, but restrained when a film’s story needed the stage.
The project began at zero — no visuals, no system, only a name. Our goal was to build credibility fast, without overstatement. The focus was strategy, identity, and tools that would help secure early backing.

We began by shaping a strategic foundation. Through framework, we defined Lotus Peak’s mission and vision: to produce compelling scripted stories while building a sustainable environment for creative work. We clarified brand values that balanced two key ideas — creative freedom and grounded process. This gave the studio a clear position in the market: credible enough to stand beside established players, yet distinctive in its philosophy.
From there, we translated strategy into a visible and usable identity. The logo system anchored the brand. A wordmark inspired by an eclipse reflected the studio’s “Day One” philosophy. Alongside it, we designed an equinox brandmark, divided into four seasonal components, representing stages of development and growth.
The identity extended through brand style and tone of voice, creating a consistent look and sound across all expressions. These were codified in detailed brand guidelines, ensuring the system could be applied with confidence and consistency.
We then created the everyday tools under brand assets. The most critical was a flexible pitch deck system. Since pitches often focused on films rather than the studio itself, we developed three levels of brand volume — low, medium, and high. This allowed the Lotus Peak brand identity to step forward or recede depending on the context. We also delivered digital presentation templates, making it easier for the team to produce professional materials without losing consistency.
This combination of strategy and branding gave Lotus Peak more than a visual identity. It gave the studio a system — one that felt credible from day one, and adaptable enough to grow with each new project.
The brand gave Lotus Peak a strong foundation — one that conveyed clarity, trust, and creative intent. It helped the studio show up with confidence from the start.
