Independent Graphic Studio — Seoul
Ideas made visible, marked for good.
Identity
Names, marks and systems that hold their shape across print, screen and space. We design the parts that get repeated.
Editorial
Books, catalogues and campaigns built on typography first. Every page has to earn its place in the sequence.
Name Is Marked is an independent graphic studio for identities, editorial and digital.
We work with brands that intend to be remembered, from the first mark to the last page. Most projects start with a name or a single object and grow into a system: type, colour, print and screens that keep the same voice. Five of us do all of it, in one room in Jongno.
We take on a small number of projects each year, so the people who start a project are the ones who finish it. If you are planning a launch, a new name or a new edition, the studio page explains how we work.
Studio in numbers
A small room in Seoul that has stayed independent since 2014.
Counted plainly: the years we have run the studio on our own, the people who do the work, the disciplines we cover and the projects shown on this site.

Selected works
Four recent projects across naming, packaging, identity and digital.
Each began with a name or a single object and grew into a system the client now runs on their own. We show the ones that trace the whole process, from the first sketch to the shelf, the street or the screen.
Clients say
What clients tell us a year after launch, once the work has had time to be used.
We asked for a louder bottle and they talked us into a quieter one. It is the first thing people pick up on the shelf.”
