Olivier Hamel working in a recording studio, focused on audio controls and screens. Microphone visible. Black and white, modern setting.

Mandate: Full visual identity creation and website development

Timeline: 3 months


A Visual and Sonic Identity


When Olivier Hamel came to us, he had only a name: Studio Miaw. From that simple starting point, we built a complete universe in his image, professional, approachable, and infused with a touch of humor.


Studio Miaow is a sound creation space where mixing, recording, podcasting, and immersive 5.1 surround experiences come together. Olivier has shaped the sound of artists such as Safia Nolin, Aude, Belle Grand Fille, Frank Custeau, Danaé, Après l’asphalte, Chassepareil, and Plomberie.


Our Approach


1. From Idea to Universe


We began by exploring the studio’s identity: how to capture the playful spirit of its name while reflecting the precision and seriousness of Olivier’s craft? This reflection guided the creation of a distinctive visual identity centered around the iconic “Tape Cat,” a hypnotic symbol that bridges creativity and sound.


2. Brand Design


  • Creation of the logo and “Tape Cat” emblem

  • Design of a custom, hand-drawn inspired typography

  • Development of a color palette balancing warmth and modernity: Miaow Blue, Beige, and Burnt Orange.

  • Creation of a complete graphic universe for web and digital use


Excerpt from our brand presentation


Graphic features a black cat face with studio logo text on a blue background. Left side shows branding text titled "Logo Principal" in bold.
Color palette titled "Palette de couleurs" features blue, beige, and orange tones. Circular chart shows hex codes. Clean, modern design.

3. A Stylish, Simple, and Effective Website


The Studio Miaow website was designed to reflect both Olivier’s precision in mixing and his personality. The experience is simple, direct, and vibrant: bold color blocks, generous typography, and intuitive navigation. Every detail was crafted to embody the tone of a studio that feels both human and professional.


Results


A cohesive, energetic, and instantly recognizable identity that captures the balance between technical mastery and creative freedom driving Studio Miaow.


We are proud to have brought this unique sonic brand to life and to have supported Olivier in building a universe that truly reflects who he is.
