CREATIVE BRIEF

The indications were:

  • No florals, geometric shapes, or script/handwritten fonts

  • Do not use letters only to make the logo, no stars, no gold, no illustrations inside letters

  • The name of the brand should influence the design

PROCESS

color palette (sand beige, deep forest green, light sage green, and beige. Three fonts and the website mockup.

To keep with the brief specifications of the brief as well as the overall mission and identity of the brand, I chose a simple yet effective design. I wanted to include an arrow for the logomark as it symbolizes travel, the movement of the waves, and recycling.

I also came up with a simple tag phrase that would emphasize that idea of movement and nature: borne by the sea. The fonts were meant to contrast, with a bold and all caps lettering for the brand name, and a thin lower case tagline. The color palette was kept quite neutral, while evoking the stormy ocean and the light sand.
