Cheil/MDLab
Creative Direction • Brand Identity
Multi Dimensional Lab is Cheil Agency’s experimental production studio—bringing together video, photography, design, AR, VR, VFX, and 3D to create next-generation experiences.
With a new physical studio opening in 2021, MDLab needed an identity that could express the range of its capabilities while feeling at home within the Cheil brand ecosystem.
(02) Identity
MDLab’s work moves across disciplines, technologies, and formats. The identity needed to convey exploration, innovation, and craft without becoming overly complex.
The resulting mark draws from the dimensional logic of a Tesseract and the modularity of a Rubik’s Cube. Precise shadows across alternating planes create a minimal collection of cubes that feels more dimensional than outlined. The logo’s shifting geometry gives the identity a subtle optical illusion, creating depth through shape and shadow rather than decoration.
A modern geometric sans serif, Lufga, completed the system. Its low contrast and generous x-height give the typography a clear, functional quality—equally suited to bold display moments and everyday studio communications.
