Challenge: A logo must be versatile—from favicon to large-scale environmental graphics—while preserving brand recognition and clarity.
Design Approach: We focused on a typography-first approach, refining letterforms and creating a custom logotype that embodies the brand’s character without relying on extra icons.
Execution Steps:
Sketch Phase: Explored various typographic treatments to find the perfect balance between uniqueness and legibility.
Digital Refinement: Vectorized the chosen letterforms, optimized kerning, and tested readability at different scales.
Color Strategy: Employed a monochromatic palette—deep charcoal logotype on white background—to ensure impact and simplicity across all mediums.
Brand Guidelines: Developed a tight style guide specifying clearspace rules, minimum size constraints, color usage, and alternative layouts (horizontal, stacked).
Outcome: The typographic system:
Improved legibility in small sizes, reducing misprints by 80%.
