Identity Design / Transformation Golf
Identity & Image Design
The project included the logo design, identity system, messaging, and the development of the business image, then applied to the website, online advertising, social media, and marketing materials.
The identity system includes the logo, secondary logo, wordmark, suite of icons and graphic elements that conveys the brand’s value proposition and differentiators. In the development of the brand and company image, the tagline, messaging, and statements were developed into graphic elements, then incorporated into layouts to create the company image.
The logo, identity design and graphic elements of the brand identity system were developed to respond to the available visual real estate in communication materials, making them responsive. The palette of responsive brand elements include graphics designed to convey the brand’s value and differentiators, and would be used to highlight these elements within the company communications.
Palette of icons: Designed to work in the creative and with messaging, and represent the brand value propositions and subject matter in communications, a full-suite of icons was designed for immediate and future usage, and created to work with initiatives as the brand grows and evolves.
Company image: A mixture of stock photography and client-provided photos were used in the development of the brand image, with the icons and typographical-styled graphics working with the images to convey the differentiators and value proposition. Within this approach and execution, the graphics included the logo, suite of graphics, and messaging overlaid on the photos to create this unique brand and business image. The messaging conveyed in the graphics worked with the subject matter in the photos to further strengthen the messaging. Application and usage of the identity system and the creative was defined in the brand style guide which defined rules that will ensure the brand and creative is consistently and effectively presenting the business and representing the brand.
“To provide flexibility and ensure consistency in all communications, versions of the logo were created to ensure the logo works in both horizontal, vertical, and space restricted visual real estate, providing the brand with needed flexibility in future creative. ”
To provide the brand with flexibility and ensure consistency in all communications, versions of the logo were created to ensure the logo works in both horizontal, vertical, and space restricted visual real estate, providing the brand with needed flexibility in future creative. Applying this responsive approach in the design of the identity system and brand creative, all elements work in both horizontal and vertical spaces to ensure flexibility and the consistent presentation of the brand.
This responsive approach was used in all elements of the identity system to ensure that the brand is effectively represented in all creative.
A Responsive Approach
The company name was used as a springboard to create elements of the brand, specifically the differentiators and value proposition, applied to the writing, messaging, calls-to-action, and the palette of graphic elements.
The Transformation Golf logo and all graphics within the identity system seamlessly responds to all visual real estate, wide, tall, short, and small. This was accomplished through the design of the logo and the logo’s primary graphic element living within and outside the circular holding shape, and within or without the name below the graphic to ensure the lgo is responsive to the viewer and visual real estate. To further add to the responsive approach, the name within the logo works as an individual graphic element, with elements added and subtracted to ensure it’s also responsive.
