Drawing inspiration from a client's reference to a bird logo used by a hotel business, I turned to the state bird of Pennsylvania, the Ruffed Grouse.
Using the Ruffed Grouse as my foundation, I aimed to create a visual representation that captures the edgy yet approachable essence of DJ culture. The design features strong lines and circular forms, with geometric angles that abstractly derive from records, mixers and turntables. The outcome is a distinctive and memorable logo mark.
The full logo is fashioned into a sleek, contemporary minimal emblem. The palette of dark slate and champagne tones enhances a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic, striking a balance between elegance and energy. This design aims to resonate with brides, grooms, and wedding planners, appealing directly to their aspirations for a memorable celebration.")

5echos is a bespoke filmmaking studio inspired by art house cinema, specializing in short stories, music videos, brand stories, documentaries, and social ads. 5echos brings top class technology and Filmmaking minds together to craft textured, deep, and emotionally resonant content to reach the audience of their clients.
'Resonance' became the guiding theme for the design 'idea'. The design approach needed to be careful working with \"resonating\" ideas visually to be careful not to miss-position the brand inadvertantly as an electronic music consumer brand, but that resonance transfers to ideas that evoke a sense of film and cinema.
The design uses repetition of abstract 5's, arranged stacked above the wordmark to evoke the feeling of film and sequential picture motion. Set with a custom illustrated, Art Deco inspired wordmark and a split RGB channel, presents the brand with timeless cinematic vibes.")

They believe that fostering a brighter future hinges on both personal and collective endeavours. Consequently, they have established a community centred on a mentorship program that enriches the life experiences of its members and positively impacts society through social initiatives and support systems.
The client envisioned imagery of a heart and a brain, posing a creative challenge: to depict human organs in a manner that captures their essence of sustainability and consciousness. The final logo abstracts the brain and incorporates two interlocking heart shapes, appearing as if they are gently floating, representing the essence of the brand, symbolizing the harmonious connection between heart and mind, as well as their professional ethos of fostering meaningful relationships through the mentorship program.")

The client aims and objectives are to appear like a shining light for their clients wanting to adopt AI to their own business plans. The solution, a mechanical looking rising sun integrated into an adorably clunky, robotic voiced wordmark.
The client also desired flexibility with the logo formatting, with a full name logo and the MAI short form. The integrated morning sun burst takes the place of the A letterform for the MAI shortform, and stands alone when reduced to the smallest favicon size without losing brand integrity.")

They compare and rank the latest web builders, helping users make decisions finding a builder suited to their needs.
Through reflective discussions with the client, we characterized the audience as predominantly one-time visitors hopeful of finding help with making a choice. The target defined, we coordinated a strategy to position the brand as a clear and direct comparison site.
We needed a logo to reflect this approach with an illustrative mark that explains 'what they do'–informing business owners that they've found an efficient place for site builder help became the focus for the design. The brand mark aims towards user needs for uncomplicated utility with a simple series of scaling devices/UI elements nested into a ranked system. A brand mark that doesn't need to be anything more than clear and explanatory that \"this site ranks website builder tools.\"")
