Exploring the Ethics of Design: Allan Kristiansen’s Visual Identity for AND ORS

Allan Kristiansen’s latest project, the visual identity for AND ORS, reflects a thoughtful interrogation of the relationship between human behavior and visual communication. Developed as an online platform, AND ORS aims to foster a deeper understanding of how design influences perception, emotion, and decision-making—championing a more intentional and ethical approach to communication design.

The identity system crafted by Kristiansen encapsulates the platform’s core mission: to challenge conventional design paradigms and encourage dialogue around the responsibilities of visual communicators. His design for AND ORS is not just an aesthetic solution; it is a conceptual framework that mirrors the platform’s investigative and philosophical stance. With clean visual language and adaptable design elements, the identity creates a flexible space for exploration, while maintaining a strong, recognizable presence.

Throughout his career, Kristiansen has specialized in developing powerful brand identities, activating them across various touchpoints for both national and international clients. His work within the cultural sector stands out, where he has helped organizations translate their values into cohesive and immersive brand experiences. The AND ORS project aligns seamlessly with this trajectory, exemplifying his ability to build narratives that are both visually compelling and intellectually grounded.

Currently a senior designer at Urgent.Agency, Kristiansen continues to balance his studio role with selected freelance projects. His multidisciplinary expertise—spanning identity and branding, digital and graphic design, motion and 3D design—equips him with a unique perspective and adaptability. This allows him to deliver design solutions that are not only visually striking, but deeply rooted in strategy and concept.

Kristiansen also remains actively engaged with emerging technologies, constantly exploring how innovation can enhance brand-user interactions. His approach to design is both human-centered and future-oriented, creating systems that evolve with their audiences and remain relevant in a fast-changing landscape.
