Simplicity
& reduction

The simpler the idea,
the more convincing it is.
A product or brand stands out when it condenses big stories into a clear statement. No one masters this art like Peter: He creates the unique HUGO perfume bottle, which references a field bottle, as well as the logo for Jacobs coffee, where you can see the fragrant cup in the initial.
His journey as an independent creative mind begins with meeting a young fashion designer: Jil Sander. In an era of ornate opulence, Jil dares to make a counterstatement with her minimalist collections. She needs a logo – and asks Peter Schmidt. His idea: a powerful wordmark that draws inspiration from both the headlines of the yellow press and Jil Sander's clear, bold stance. The logo becomes an icon, and Jil Sander a brand.
