Brand Identity

Hello, Emma from Graphics here, just posting what i've done so far...

Ok, so from the brief you gave me and the chat we originally had, three words stuck out to me, and became a basis for my research. These words were 'Existance', 'Timeless' and 'Surface'. I tried to find a visual link between the three, that could then aid me in trying to design a logo. Researching these words led to me finding links through the words DNA (existance), Infinity (timeless) and Knitting links (surface). All of these things link visually as they are all loopy, chain-like shapes.


I then focused on the infinity sign as it is a bold image, and ties in the values and main elements of the 'Sia' brand. It is an elegant symbol, that would sit comfortably along with the likes of Pringle, Mulberry, Todds etc. Above is some experimentation with the infinity sign.


I then experimented with typefaces. The top two examples were where I focused on the textural element of the brand, trying to translate this through the font. The bottom three examples I wanted to portray a simple femininity, similar to that of the Chloe brand.




After trying out several combinations of the text and symbol, in the end I favoured the two above, even more so, the one on the left hand-side. I then placed this on a couple of applications...

Above is a visual for a potential website. And below, the envelope for a simple mail-out.



So that's it so far, currently working on the suggestions you made at our last meeting in regards to incorporating roman numerals.

  3. The motif looks lovely, and looks great on the envelope, only thing i'd day is that I think it would be good to have the name under the motif like you have somewhere else. Also, I do really like the web site proposal, but again i'd be a bit concerned that it doesn't look 'luxury' enough. But otherwise I think it's all great. And thank you!

  4. PS, with the motif options I like the finer ones better as they're more feminine.
