A hundred years of Norwegian wool, pulled back into one mark.

Description
Norlender have knitted wool in Norway since 1927. Still family run, still in the same factory by the fjord. What they had was a hundred years of loose parts: labels, tags, stamps and stickers, none of them made to go together. Most of this identity lives on a woven label sewn into a neckline. It's a polar bear, flat, no detail inside it. The wordmark is set in a typeface that looks handdrawn. SINCE 1927 goes everywhere the name goes. The blues come from winter, ice, snow and sea. The off-white comes from the wool, the sheep and the polar bear.
