Est. 2023 by Bernt H. Kommedal ↗, Frode Skaren ↗ and Tine Reingaard ↗ A collaborative brand studio. Small on purpose.

Est. 2023 by Bernt H. Kommedal ↗, Frode Skaren ↗ and Tine Reingaard ↗ We are a collaborative brand studio, working creatively with like-minded clients/people/friends. Small on purpose. No juniors taking over after kickoff, no extra layers, nothing made more complicated than it needs to be.

We leverage holistic, insight-driven brand ecosystems to unlock scalable synergies across omnichannel touchpoints, empowering purpose-led storytelling that future-proofs your north star.

Small on purpose. Big on impact. Curious by nature, bold by design, and relentlessly committed to building the brands of tomorrow, today.

      Working with us

      Small team, short lines. You talk to the people doing the work, from first meeting to final file.

      Small team, short lines. You talk to the people doing the work, from the first meeting to the final file. Some projects take a few weeks. Some last a year. A few are a weekend.

      Our end-to-end engagement model de-risks transformation through iterative, stakeholder-centric co-creation sprints.

      Four steps. Infinite possibilities.

      What we do

      1

      Talk – A meeting or a call about what you need. No pitch deck.

      2

      Agree – A clear scope, timeline and price, in writing, before anything starts.

      3

      Make – Strategy, design and production, with you in the room at the points that matter.

      4

      Hand over – Files, guidelines and tools your team can actually use. We stay around if you want us to.

      Rates

      Day rate – NOK 12 000

      Scoping workshop – NOK 10 000–15 000

      Embedded – NOK 11 000 a day, from two days a month

      Retainer – NOK 8 000 a month, four hours included

      Embedded and retainer run for at least three months. Package or custom prices for longer projects.

      Embedded means part of your team on fixed days. Retainer means on call for questions, checks and small fixes. Both run for at least three months. For longer collaborations and projects we put together a package or a custom price.

      For agencies

      We work with agencies too: an extra pair of hands on identity, motion and code, credited however suits the project.

      For collaborators

      Developer, photographer, type designer, animator, printer or another studio? We’re always looking for good people to work with. Send your work to hello@studioblunt.com.

      ABCD

      ABCD – Four letters, four parts of the job. You hire us for B and D.

      ABCD started as an internal filing system, a way to sort projects and clients into four drawers. It stuck, because it described the studio better than any mission statement did. Four letters, four parts of the job. One of them bends the alphabet a little. Branding and Design are what clients hire us for. Art keeps them sharp, and Collaboration is how the work gets done.

      A proprietary four-pillar operating model that aligns creative excellence, strategic clarity and collaborative energy into one holistic value-creation engine.

      It’s as easy as ABC. And then D.

      A

      Art – Strictly speaking, research and development. Play becomes a design tool. The experiments are in the Lab, to try for yourself.

      Art – Strictly speaking, research and development. Calling it Art keeps the alphabet intact.

      It’s the time set aside for work nobody pays for: code experiments, moving type, risograph prints, an exhibition. No brief, no budget, no client to please, so there’s room to try things that might not work. Some of it ends up on a gallery wall. More of it ends up in client work. Play becomes a design tool. The experiments are in the Lab, to try for yourself.

      A cross-disciplinary, post-digital practice interrogating the liminal space between craft and computation, where process is the product and the product is, ultimately, a conversation.

      Art is the new R&D. R&D is the new art. We call it Art&D™.

      Branding – The core. What a brand stands for, how it looks and sounds.

      Branding – Studio Blunt is a brand studio, so this is the core. Brand strategy, visual identity and the big picture: what a brand stands for, how it looks and sounds, and how it holds together over time. It starts with agreeing what the brand is, and ends with something people can actually use.

      Our proprietary brand-alignment framework transforms stakeholder ambiguity into an emotionally resonant, future-facing brand architecture with a clear value proposition across every moment that matters.

      Because a brand isn’t a logo. It’s a feeling. And feelings scale.

      Collaboration – Do what the studio does best. Collaborate on the rest.

      Collaboration – Do what the studio does best. Collaborate on the rest. (Pardon the rhyme.)

      Every project gets the people it needs: developers, type designers, animators, photographers, printers, other studios. Clients are collaborators too, not an audience for a big reveal. They know their business. The studio knows design. The work is better with both in the room.

      We co-create in agile, cross-functional pods that foster radical candour, celebrate diverse perspectives and unlock the collective genius of the room.

      Synergy isn’t a buzzword for us. It’s a lifestyle.

      Design – Where the craft is. Curiosity meets careful application.

      Design – Where the craft is. Graphic design, motion and code, used to make things that work and look right, whatever the problem. Code and motion are part of the toolbox, not something bought in. Identity, digital, print, packaging, type. The same care whether it’s a five-metre banner or a favicon.

      Curiosity meets careful application.

      Disruptive, human-centred, omnichannel experience design that delights users, drives engagement and moves the needle.

      Pixel-perfect, future-proof and 100% AI-ready.
