The Story

OJB is a collective landscape and urban planning practice that explores the boundaries between architecture and landscape, infrastructure and beauty, to balance environmental performance with human interaction. For more than 30 years, OJB has been recognized as an industry leader with over a hundred significant national and international awards, including the 2020 national design award from the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian National Design Museum.

ADVANCING BIG IDEAS WHILE REMAINING GROUNDED

Proportion worked with firm founder James Burnett, partners, and team members across their five offices to develop a cohesive brand strategy and identity system to carry them for years to come. From public parks to campuses and workplaces, OJB continually connects people with the simple beauty of nature – balancing access with sustainability. This harmony is recognized in the new identity.

finely tuned and wholly balanced

The custom typography of the OJB monogram is architectural in nature. It was developed from an underlying grid system – incorporating clean lines and simple curves inspired by their landscapes. Overall the mark and system focuses on clarity and comprehension while maintaining craft and character.
