Blur

Pablo Juncadella

Blur, an audiovisual producer, asked us to redesign its brand identity. The concept of the project was to incorporate into it the meaning of the word “blur” without the use of images that are out of focus. The new identity is based on a customized font in three different weights —single, double, and triple— created by increasing the number of lines in the basic structure of the font, thereby achieving a blurred effect consistent with the company name.

    Pablo Juncadella, Spain (2015)

    Pablo Juncadella was born in Barcelona in 1977 and graduated with honours at Eina School of Design and Art (Barcelona) in 1999. He worked at Grafica and Pentagram London before founding Mucho (together with his partner Marc Catala). During his first 3 years of Mucho he combined running the studio with being the joint creative direction of the UK newspaper The Observer. Today Mucho incorporates the original independent studio mentality with partners in San Francisco, Paris and Barcelona.

    Pablo's approach to design is focused on simplicity, wit and creative problem solving with an interest in typographic expression.

    He is a teacher at Eina School of Design, director of the Masters degree on Graphic design At ELISAVA and co-author of “No somos hormigas”.
