french studio trust in design has applied the iconic japanese print, ‘the wave’ by hokusai into the ‘july pattern’. the graphic symbol was developed for parisian company, cuisse de grenouille, and can be used across a variety of different forms. translated onto a range of media such as clothing, objects and a website, the repeated image becomes a recognizable brand element. the simple lines are scaled according to its use, with the blue outline of a breaking wave projected in multiple ways.
