Topfoto brand identity and business card design by Ditto Creative

Defined by a vast legacy and pioneering spirit, the Topfoto brand embraces both its impressive heritage and trailblazing spirit.

Topfoto is a remarkable historical picture archive and agency. Founded in 1927, Topfoto is an independent, family-owned business now in its third generation, holding one of the most significant privately owned photographic archives in Europe. With a remit to collect the world’s stories, Topfoto is devoted to preserving and sharing culturally and historically significant imagery, helping their clients to communicate more powerfully by supplying them with the images they need to bring their narrative to life.

“Ditto Creative came into our archive and brought a deeply refreshing blast of fresh thinking and talent to our 97 year old company. Professionalism, challenge and empathy mixed with good humour and flexibility. My only regret is not calling upon them sooner.”

Defined by a vast legacy and pioneering spirit, the Topfoto brand embraces both its impressive heritage and trailblazing spirit. The visual style is characterful and creative. A colour palette of rich tones is contrasted against typography with strength and flair, with carefully considered language bringing personality and a delightfully distinctive eccentricity to the brand.
