Lex
Lex is a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ people to build relationships, queer community, and connection through conversation and expression. If it’s queer, it’s on Lex. Lex came to us for a rebrand to help them move from being perceived as a queer space for romantic relationships towards a queer space for platonic relationships.
We centered the brand direction around the idea of an ever-growing queer playground. A dynamic space that encourages exploration of all different kinds of relationships within the queer community. To capture this idea, we leaned into playful designs that are juxtaposed with imperfect patterns and raw textures. We wanted to avoid using rainbow tropes and instead selected fresh “spring” colors that are associated with growth, energy and well-being. In executing the rebrand, we built Lex’s messaging framework, visual identity and website design & development.
