MMA came to us to build the identity for The Island Economist, their magazine covering finance and economics across the Maldives and beyond. We designed every touchpoint, logo, merch, magazine layout, and website landing page, so the brand would read as credible as the reporting inside it.

The logo itself is a book, seen from a side angle, a small detail that carries the brand's whole idea: a publication meant to be opened, read, and returned to.
The palette runs on deep indigo and warm sand, a pairing that stays composed without feeling cold, refined without losing its edge. Futuristic illustrations blend with photography throughout, giving every page a layered, intentional feel.
