Design Process & Implementation︎︎︎
To develop the Seasoned Accelerator logo and branding, I sketched countless pages of ideas and concepts. Shown first is a small grouping of different hand-drawn and digital sketches. Second is a preliminary logo development chart for a few key design directions.
To compliment the hand-made and organic message of Seasoned Accelerator, the typeface Critrus Gothic was chosen for the base of the logotype. Raleway Regular was used for any body copy or sub-text.
The palette of the brand was decided based on organic, natural food colors.
The main logo is shown here in both its full color variation and black ansd white variation.
As well as multiple physical marketing tools, including brochures and flyers, a digital campaign was also launched. In order to present the logo organically through digital means, this gif was created.
