Visual storytelling with heat and heart

Celsius isn’t your average studio—it channels color, culture, and creativity into every frame. Born from a love of performance and storytelling, their work spans a wide range of clients, including fashion, food, and interior design. Specializing in both photography and videography, Celsius stands out through its bold visual style and energy-forward approach, bringing a cinematic edge to every project. To bring that dynamic spirit to life, they partnered with Cooley Designs to develop an elevated visual identity that sets them apart from the typical production house aesthetic.

Designing a brand that radiates energy

To capture Celsius’ vibrant personality and bold creative spirit, we developed a visual identity rooted in symbolism and color. The logo blends the Celsius degree symbol, a camera lens, and a thermometer into one cohesive mark—reflecting the studio’s focus on photography and videography while evoking heat, motion, and perspective. A thermal-inspired color palette reinforces that energy, with hues like orange, magenta, and violet aligning with the brand’s personality. Custom duotone photography rounds out the system, adding a stylized, eye-catching edge that’s both modern and unmistakably Celsius. Altogether, the brand breaks free from conventional production aesthetics, helping Celsius stand out as a fearless, future-facing creative studio.
