Founded in 2012, Secret City Adventure’s mission is to design immersive experiences that push the boundaries of adventurous entertainment.
SCA are pioneers of creating theatrical escape room games in Toronto, including the Casa Loma Escape Series, Black Creek Pioneer Village Escape Series, and the official Murdoch Mysteries escape room. In partnership with world-renowned SCRAP Entertainment they have produced and toured the original genre-defining Real Escape Games across Canada.
We worked with Secret City to streamline their wide array of brands and properties under a single umbrella, as well bring their visual identity to better showcase quality and sensibility of their games.
Logo Process
We worked closely with the Secret City team to bring an air of playful mystery to their identity. Our first concept – the “curious-city” – was an early favourite, and through gradual refinement, we were able to bring the optimistic spirit of the brand to life in this workmark and icon pair.
Brand Hierarchy
More critical than the evolution of the brand visuals was the hierarchy and architecture of the brands themselves. Secret City is a company with a wide range of properties and services, and they were running into friction communicating those to an external audience.
Our goal was to unify and simplify – create a clear relationship between Secret City, it’s services, owned properties and partners. The way we accomplished this was by bringing everything we could under the Secret City name – lose the ‘adventures’, it’s cleaner – and keep Company and Co, their Design services business as a strictly B2B service, separate from the Secret City brand.
With gratitude to our fabulous partners
