Process

Our Discovery process explored the goals, tone, look & feel, materials, and potential names for the council. We then developed moodboards using existing creative to quickly establish a preferred brand direction. With the aesthetic universe defined, we generated multiple brand concepts that were refined and combined to create the final brand.

The final brand guidelines included the logo mark, lockup, and guidance on clearspace, typography, color, unathorized usage, and brand application across a variety of experiences. Additionally, we provided a range of logo variations for use across a wide selection of communications collateral.
