Building A Brand – Designing A Logo, Episode 6

What is logo design? How do you design a logo for your company? What is the logo design process? How do you present your logos to clients?

A Logo helps identify a brand in the simplest way possible. It can convey emotion, reputation, and a plethora of other feelings about a brand. When done right. In this episode, Creative Directors Matthew Encina and Ben Burns will work with designers at Blind– Emily and Min, to create logo explorations for Hamilton based on the visual direction the client has chosen. A new designer, Emanuele Ricci, will join the group and work on a hand-lettered logo to try and match the craftsman aesthetic Josh and Crysten have expressed a fondness too.

A note on Stylescapes:
The “Stylescape” (mood board) is the digital version of the old tear sheets in a client presentation. Because we are only using the work to educate and help our client understand the style it prefers, and then creating new and original works for the client once we understand this preferences in style, we are not recreating the already published works. Fair use under copyright law promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. In our video, we are using the sample material for reference and an educational experience, a use different from the original purpose of the samples, to sell products and services. This is the type of use that is is permitted under copyright.
