Maiden
brand identity + web design
A meaningful mission, translated into a visual identity
Maiden is a sailing yacht created for journeys, human connection and meaningful conversations at sea. The yacht is captained by a priest whose mission is to share spiritual values through personal dialogue and shared experiences.
FWD Creative developed the complete visual identity for Maiden — from the brand concept and logo to the color palette, typography, art direction and responsive website design.

Where spiritual symbolism meets the sea
The identity began with a deeply personal story. We needed to connect the yacht’s maritime character with the spiritual mission of its captain without relying on obvious religious imagery.
We found this connection in the form of a lily — a Christian symbol associated with purity, faith and spiritual devotion. We combined its silhouette with the geometry of a sail and the movement of sea waves.
The result is a distinctive symbol that holds three meanings within one form: a lily, a sailing yacht and the sea.

Studio Brief
From a personal story to a distinctive brand
Our role was to give Maiden a recognizable identity while preserving the sincerity of the project. Every design decision grew from the yacht’s story, its environment and the values of the people behind it.
We created a flexible system that could live across different touchpoints — from the yacht itself and printed materials to digital communication and the website.

Brand concept
We uncovered the central idea of the project and transformed the captain’s personal mission into a clear visual direction for the brand.
Logo & identity
We designed the Maiden symbol and developed its complete visual system, including the color palette, typography and principles of brand application.
Web design
We translated the identity into a responsive website that introduces the yacht, communicates its values and creates a coherent digital experience.
Bringing the identity into the digital space
The website continues the visual language of Maiden through spacious layouts, maritime imagery and a calm, confident rhythm.
Our goal was to create more than a presentation of the yacht. We designed a digital space that conveys the atmosphere of the project and helps visitors understand the story, values and experience behind Maiden.
We adapted the website for mobile devices while preserving its visual character, hierarchy and emotional atmosphere. The identity remains recognizable and the content easy to explore across different screen sizes.

A visual identity
with meaning at its core
For Maiden, we created more than a maritime logo. We built a brand around a personal mission — connecting spiritual symbolism, the freedom of sailing and the quiet power of the sea.
The result is a distinctive identity that feels authentic to the yacht, its captain and the journeys they create.
The final system gives Maiden a distinctive and consistent presence across the yacht itself, printed materials and digital touchpoints.
