Visual Identity - Stage 4 Ascension
A good brand is something truly captivating, but it rarely happens at first sight. Comparing it to a relationship, we can say that a good brand resembles more true love than overwhelming passion. Therefore, it’s crucial not to rush, neither approving it hastily nor rejecting it immediately.
Instant passion is often illusory when it comes to brands. When faced with a brand proposal, whether it’s a completely new rebrand from the original or an evolution of what already exists, it’s essential to take the time to “chew on it,” reflecting on its essence and potential.
To develop a genuine connection with this brand, imagine it in different scenarios and applied to everyday objects. Visualize it as a person. Ask yourself, “Do I like this person?”
You will notice that your initial perception, which may not have been the best initially, will transform over time.
Passion can arise when you least expect it.

That’s why it’s essential to map out the brand’s attributes to show the world who the brand truly is. Below, we will present a chart that illustrates these characteristics of Ahladeal, from the most important to the less important but still relevant.

Unlike The Digital Boutique, Doit has a rather conventional logo and uses a standardized secondary typography across all its communication channels. However, there are areas that need improvement:
Its photographic style relies on free .png images, compromising the quality and visual impact of the brand. Graphic elements lack a coherent visual identity. The color palette lacks harmony, especially in the shade of blue (the predominant color of the brand), creating a sense of disorder and confusion.
In summary, Doit lacks a cohesive and effective visual identity.

The brand showcases versatility through its simplicity, and the 3D elements used on its website are of high quality.
The photographic style is consistent and reflects some of the brand’s personality, featuring warmer tones and slight saturation. However, there is inconsistency in the brand’s color palette. On the website, black is used as the primary color, while in other touchpoints, such as social media, blue is employed as the primary color.
In summary, McCann doesn’t present many visual issues and performs well in terms of brand consistency across touchpoints.

The new symbol of Ahladeal was created to represent the essence of the brand: a foundation for communication.
The letter “h” from the old symbol was retained, but a triangle was added to the top of the symbol to represent a speech bubble. This symbolizes communication, which is one of the company’s core attributes.
The bottom of the symbol represents a foundation. This symbolizes the strength and stability of the company, which provides solid support for its clients. The symbol was constructed using a rectangular grid with a subdivision of 6×32.

BR Sonoma is a new geometric grotesque built for the 21st century with a finely tuned modern aesthetic. BR Sonoma builds on the foundations laid by the classic Swiss grotesques such as Helvetica and Univers but combines their features with a stronger geometric base usually found in other early classics such as Avant Garde, Futura and Avenir.

Archivo is a grotesque sans serif typeface family originally designed for highlights and headlines. This family is reminiscent of late nineteenth century American typefaces. The technical and aesthetic characteristics of the font are both crafted for high performance typography. It was designed to be used simultaneously in print and online platforms and supports over 200 world languages.
Archivo has been upgraded to a variable font in 2021. The weight and width axes allow a wide variety of styles, from Thin to Black and from ExtraCondensed to Expanded.

We chose to keep the original brand colors, but now we adapted them using PANTONE palettes as a reference. This choice aims to streamline everyday graphic design work. Furthermore, we revitalized the shades to give the brand a distinctive edge in the market and a more contemporary appearance.

From the symbol, we have developed an extremely versatile graphic system with eight adaptable and easily manageable pieces.
Even with so many variations, the system remains easily identifiable and can effectively replace the symbol when it comes to brand recognition. It also makes the design of various pieces much easier.

The more complex the design, the more it harms your business.
This is because simplicity generates a better first impression and makes understanding and using an interface easier. In building a brand, minimalism has been prevalent in recent years and will continue to be so for some time.
They say that a great logo can be recreated by hand and from memory. In other words, it needs to be simple enough to be recognized, memorized, remembered, and easily reproduced. Following this principle, minimalism in logos is a trend that reaffirms itself year after year.
However, just because something is simple doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact, many designers find that the more minimalist, the more challenging it is to create a good logo. This is because the fewer elements there are, the harder it is to impress and convey a message.
Gestalt is the study of human perception in relation to shapes, the existence of patterns of visual behavior that humans exhibit. These patterns form the basis for the Laws of Gestalt.
This science argues that in order to understand the parts of a shape, it’s necessary to first comprehend the whole that surrounds and composes it. In other words, we could say that Gestalt studies how our brain perceives shapes. We could translate Gestalt as ‘The Psychology of Forms.’ It understands that our perception of things occurs as a unified whole, not as isolated points.
This brain regulation is spontaneous. We can’t control it. When our brain sees a shape, it tries to relate the information to something we’ve seen in the past and stored in our memory. So, the Gestalt theory tells us that only through the perception of a whole can the brain interpret and assimilate a shape or concept.

None of the images can be considered final pieces or closed layouts, as each supplier or company responsible for producing each item has its limitations in graphic processes or materials.
