Creativity, imagination, sound and color™

Brand identity built on strategy, designed with meaning, and made to last.

Hi, I am

Piero
Salardi

Creativity, imagination, sound & color®

A brand designer, art director, and creative strategist with 20 years of work across six continents.

My practice is boutique by choice. Every project gets my full attention, from the first conversation to the final file. You work directly with me, the person doing the thinking and the making.

Services —

I design from strategy to execution. Visual systems that give a brand its foundation, and the flexibility to grow without losing shape.

Every identity I build starts with thinking, research, positioning, and a clear creative direction. Then the strategy becomes visible: marks, color, and type where every element has a reason.

  • Brand Strategy → Research, positioning, and competitive mapping. The direction is defined before a mark is made.
  • Naming → Words that set the tone before any visual does.
  • Logotypes & Marks → Built as systems. Designed to scale, move, and adapt.
  • Visual Identity Systems → Color, type, and graphic language working as one, with room for the brand to evolve.
  • Iconography → Custom icon systems that extend the brand’s visual language.
  • Illustration → Bespoke artwork that gives a brand depth and character.
  • Brand Guidelines → A clear playbook for everyone who touches your brand.

01.-

The shelf is the most competitive space a brand ever occupies. I design packaging that earns its place: clear, considered, and built to communicate value at a glance.

  • Packaging Design → Structural and visual systems that stand out and signal quality.
  • Labelling → Informative, compliant, and visually coherent.
  • Editorial Design → Brochures, catalogues, and print with strong visual logic.
  • Print Craft → Paper stocks, finishes, and textures chosen to make the brand tangible.

02.-

Screens are where most people meet a brand first. I design digital experiences with the same precision as everything printed.

  • Web Experiences (UX/UI) → Sites and platforms where usability and identity move together.
  • Motion & Interaction → Animation and interactive moments that bring the identity to life on screen.

03.-

An identity only works if every application respects it. I direct shoots, campaigns, and content so the brand speaks with one voice across every channel.

  • Art Direction → Creative guidance that keeps every project aligned with the brand story.
  • Video Editing → Shaping content that carries the brand into motion.

Process—

How I Work

Four steps, one designer, full clarity at every stage. You know what happens next before it happens.

Discovery

+

Discovery

A direct conversation about your goals, your audience, and what this brand needs to earn. You receive a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and investment before anything moves.

Strategy

+

Strategy

Research, competitive mapping, and creative direction, defined before a mark is made. This is where the brief sharpens into something we can both commit to.

Design

+

Design

The identity, packaging, or system takes shape through focused feedback rounds and honest collaboration. Every decision traces back to the strategy, so the result holds up under questioning.

Launch

+

Launch

Final assets delivered with brand guidelines and implementation support, so your brand shows up consistently from day one.

What to expect when working with me —

→ One senior designer from brief to delivery. The person you meet on the first call is the person doing the work.

→ Scope, timeline, and investment outlined before we begin. The numbers you approve are the numbers you pay.

→ One strategic direction, focused and defensible. I do the eliminating so you decide from strength.

→ A partner invested in your brand before, during, and after the project closes.

I bring twenty years of research, craft, and cultural range to every brief. The result is a visual system built for its specific market and medium, with the substance to stay relevant as both evolve.

Latest project — coming soon

Ro Marley Wines — Rebrand

Rohan Marley reached out to elevate his French-produced wine line into a high-end market position. The previous labels lacked the refinement his name and the product deserved. I built a system across three expressions, Chardonnay, Rosé, and Merlot, that carries weight through restraint. Each label centers a heraldic lion crest paired with the ROMARLEY wordmark, tied together by the Latin line “Quisque intus habet leonis,” meaning everyone carries a lion within. The white and Rosé bottles use a torn deckle-edge label on Neenah New Stable Vellum in Titanium White (89gsm), letting the paper texture read as craft. The Merlot flips the system to a black label for depth and contrast on the darkest wine.

The material treatment is where the class lives. The crest and wordmark shift by variety via Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver semi-matte hot-stamping. Body copy uses engraved ink high relief for a tactile finish you feel before you read. The certification seal is foil-stamped and embossed, and the Rohan Marley signature sits beside a Rastafari flag rendered in silver hot-stamped overlay with green, yellow and red, a quiet nod to heritage without shouting it. Typography pairs TT Ramillas for the display serifs with TT Norms Pro for the structured detail lines, giving the label both warmth and order.
