    Papilio Stories

Open Project

Look at the world through a more empathetic lens​

Papilio is a multimedia production company that explores new narratives combining video, audio, photography, and content to tell stories from a human-centric perspective. Their expertise in journalistic investigations allows them to focus on social issues, providing a comprehensive insight into society’s matters.

They believe that visual storytelling is a powerful tool for social transformation. Using empathy and listening carefully to different experiences to enhance their narratives and reach all kinds of audiences.

Logo idea​

The word papilio is Latin for butterfly. It flies, migrates, adapting to different situations and places to live. And that is the perfect definition for Papilio Stories.

With this logo we wanted to evoke the flight of a butterfly, thus representing the freedom of movement.

Brand values

01

Versatile

Papilio is more than a multimedia production company. Rooted in their anthropologic expertise, their goal is to create content that conveys dates and figures to a much more complex and versatile type of information.
02

Cheerful

When news or documentaries narrate stories in underdeveloped countries, they tend to highlight the lows and sad stories. Papilio wants to give visibility to all the great, cheerful, and joyful stories that happen every day in these countries.
03

Feminine

Due to their experience in countries where female voices are not always heard, they put special emphasis on their point of view to ensure that stories are equally represented in their documentaries.
04

Flexible

Papilio wants to go beyond the regular media production company, allowing stories to happen through different mediums and channels for a universal understanding of the stories they are trying to tell.

People first

Papilio’s greatest strength lies in their passion for giving a voice and a face to those stories that are not just numbers or facts but have real lives behind them.

Reassuring the opportunity for those who are regularly left out of the conversation, will allow their stories to be part of a more empathetic conversation.
