VISUAL IDENTITY

STRATEGY


Base FM is Ottawa-Gatineau’s only hip hop station, supported and run by a dedicated community. We penned a new name and built a brand identity that solidified Base FM’s character and captured its place in the community.

STRATEGY

It’s not every day we get the chance to redefine the image of a campus radio station. Our task was to pen a new name to replace their acronym, CHUO. Base FM emerged as a versatile term that encapsulated the essence of Hip Hop and the radio station’s role as a community cornerstone.

DESIGN SYSTEM

The new name inspired us to craft a visual language reminiscent of the varying bars in electrophoresis charts. We turned the bars into symbols of human narratives, program charts, independence, and sound.
