January July’s genre-bending storytelling—a blend of noir, thriller, and comedy—required a brand that could channel their layered narrative style into a clear visual language. STAV Creative developed a cinematic brand identity system that feels immediate and timeless, grounded in bold typography, stark contrast, and a gritty, analog aesthetic that mirrors their approach to filmmaking.
We extended the visual identity across a director-forward portfolio site with dark mode design, film poster layouts, press kits, and custom type lockups for their in-house creative divisions. Built on a custom Webflow platform, the site reflects January July’s fluid creative output, with sections devoted to short films, music, photography, and writing.
We also crafted communication strategy and visual language guidelines to support the team as they evolve and promote new releases. This brand platform allows January July to express their unique vision in ways that feel grounded in artistry—and ready for global stages.
