Record. Capture. Magnify.

A440 Studios

Scaling the Spotlight

As A440 Studios expanded from recording into artist video production and live-stream performance experiences, its brand needed to evolve with it. We developed a strategic identity system that clearly distinguished each service while preserving the equity of the parent brand—creating a scalable foundation for future growth.

Designed to Perform

The identity system was rooted in A440’s tuning fork heritage, reinterpreting the iconic symbol through subtle visual vibrations that evoke sound, energy, and amplification. A shared A440 wordmark unified the brand architecture while giving each division its own distinct identity. Warm metallic golds referenced the legacy of recording, while vibrant green signaled the immediacy and motion of A440 Live’s video and live-stream services. The tuning fork evolved into a flexible symbol system, expressing the brand’s three core capabilities: Record. Capture. Magnify.
