Masolo
Building’s architectural expression and structural prominence
The brief
The iconic building formerly known as “Block Buster,” situated along Porto’s Circunvalação ring road, has been rebranded as Masolo Business Centre, marking a strategic repositioning within the urban and commercial landscape.
Duplo Network has reinstated the original name, now reinterpreted through a bold and contemporary brand identity that aligns with the building’s architectural expression and structural prominence.
Approach
The new symbol is directly inspired by the volumetric solidity of the structure itself — a stylised block defined by 60° chamfers and angular geometry, forming a distinctive and modern “M.” This emblem serves as the centre’s new visual signature: precise, enduring, and immediately recognisable.
