1. Understanding Your Brand:

3. Target Audience: Who is your ideal customer or target audience?
4. Brand Personality: How would you describe your brand's personality or vibe in a few words?
5. Emotional Impact: What key emotions or feelings should your branding evoke in your audience?
6. Logo Preferences: Do you have any specific imagery, colors, or typography styles in mind for your logo?
7. Color and Style Preferences: Are there any specific colors or graphic styles you prefer for your overall branding?
8. Brand Usage: How do you plan to use your branding most (e.g., digital, print, merchandise)?
9. Key Brand Elements: What are the most important elements you want to see in your branding guide (e.g., logo usage, color palette, typography)?

2. Logo Design

1. Concept Design and Moodboard:

• We begin by exploring various concepts that align with your brand's vision and values.
• A moodboard is created to visually represent these ideas, incorporating elements like colors, typography, imagery, and styles that resonate with your brand's identity.
• This stage is collaborative, and we encourage feedback to ensure the direction aligns with your expectations.

2. Black and White Version:

• Once the concept is agreed upon, we develop a black and white version of the logo.
• This step focuses on the logo's structure, ensuring it is versatile and effective without relying on color.
• We refine the design based on your feedback, focusing on layout, balance, and scalability.

3. Final Design:

• After finalizing the black and white version, we proceed to add colors based on the chosen palette.
• This stage includes finalizing typography and any additional graphical elements.
• We present the final logo design in Figma, where you can review and provide any last adjustments.
• Once approved, the final logo is prepared in various formats suitable for different uses (digital, print, etc.).

3. Branding Development:

Color Palette

We develop a color scheme that reflects your brand's personality and ensures good visibility both online and in print.

Typography

We select typefaces that complement your brand and ensure readability across various mediums.

Visual Elements

This includes creating additional graphics, patterns, or illustrations that support the brand's visual identity.

4. Branding Guide Creation:

Style Guide

We compile a comprehensive branding guide in Figma. This includes guidelines on logo usage, color palette, typography, imagery, and other visual elements.

Consistency Across Platforms

The guide ensures consistency across all platforms and mediums, from your website to marketing materials.

5. Presentation and Delivery

Presentation

We present the final logo, branding elements, and the branding guide on Figma, where you can view and provide feedback.
