Logo & visual identity design
The swoosh, red cross, golden arches, bitten apple; logos often come to mind when we think of a particular brand. They’re ubiquitous. Essential. Yet also just one piece of the visual identity. While the strength of a brand is driven by the quality of its product or service, the quality can be significantly reinforced by a range of designed elements appropriate to what’s on offer.
Line, shape, colour, type, texture, space, imagery — consistent combinations heighten the professionalism and memorability of a brand’s image. And although some companies have an enormous number of items to be considered, good design doesn’t need to be complicated. Rather, the strongest design includes only as much as what’s necessary.
If you’re looking for help elevating your brand’s logo and visual design, that’s been my speciality for twenty years, and I’ll be delighted to hear from you.
