IAO : The Institution for Art and Olfaction
Brand Identity, Rebranding
Instructor: Paula Scher 



IAO (The Institute for Art and Olfaction) is a rebranding project that addresses the lack of sensory expression in its previous identity. It reimagines how scent can be visualized through a breathing-based identity system, reflecting how scent is experienced through inhale and exhale.

Gradients translate this process into a visual language that expands and diffuses across applications. The system moves beyond a static logo, forming a flexible identity that adapts across print and digital while maintaining a consistent atmosphere.





Concept

Inspired by the experience of scent, rooted in the rhythm of inhale and exhale.
