The original logo — minimalistic and playful — had already made its mark on wooden tags and physical pieces. In this rebrand, the aim was to preserve that core essence while refining the visual identity to be more cohesive and versatile,
The new wordmark, developed with custom typography and tailored for more institutional contexts, became the primary logo. The updated identity features a bold, expressive color palette, used as an accent to bring life to details and icons while preserving the clarity of the black-and-white foundation, that clearly reinforce the studio’s distinct personality.
Citruscake remains exactly what it’s always been — just with more precision, greater presence, and the same unmistakable charm.

"Working with Julia was an absolute dream. From the very first concept she captured the soul of my book in a way I couldn't have imagined — the illustration is raw, emotional and otherworldly, and the typography is effortlessly woven throughout. Julia was patient, collaborative and incredibly talented, bringing both artistic vision and professional expertise to every round of feedback. I'm so proud of this cover and so grateful to have found her. I would recommend Julia without hesitation to any author looking for someone who truly understands how to bring a book to life."
