LOT-TISSIMO wordmark over a classical Renaissance painting, brand identity for an online auction house by Hix Brands

Prestige, Modernized.

Lot-tissimo is a Germany-based online auction marketplace specializing in fine art and antiques — built to compete at the level of Europe's most prestigious auction houses. The challenge was clear: existing platforms failed to meet the expectations of high-spending bidders, both in presentation quality and discovery experience. The rebrand required building a visual identity that felt simultaneously timeless and digital-native. The strategy centered on four pillars — offering, trust, ease, and value — with every design decision anchored to those principles. From the condensed wordmark and its recurring dash motif (used as a masking element throughout marketing artwork) to the deep forest green palette and Forma DJR typography, the system was built to signal sophistication without sacrificing usability. Deliverables spanned the full brand ecosystem: logo and identity system, color and type guidelines, social assets, print collateral, signage, auction catalogs, slide deck templates, and marketing landing page styling. Tools used include Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Framer, Jitter, and various AI tools.

Designed with a global audience in mind, the identity transcends its German roots to speak the visual language of the international fine art and antiques market — one that discerning bidders anywhere in the world can recognize and trust.
