⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. They select their favorite colors // FRIEND - brand strategy is all about speaking to and attracting your AUDIENCE. Suzie might not like the lime green you like 🙊 In my branding process we dive deep into which colors work best for your goals.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. They select too many colors // Continuing from the previous point, there's a psychology to color usage. 🎨 You need to make sure you're sending the right (subconscious) message to your ideal audience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. They follow the latest trends // This one is hard. We're only human and :: squirrel 🐿 :: we get easily distracted and hit with FOMO. A good brand strategist can make a unique brand that stands the test of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. They make it hard to read // Typography is SO important! This also plays in with trends. How can your people know that you have what they need if your message is not legible? Working with an experienced branding expert is an investment that pays off more than we often realize.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. They make it similar to the competition // Don't confuse your audience! They might fall in love with you, but then 🙈 end up going with the competitor...because your DIY branding looks identical to theirs! This happens far too often when biz owners DIY their logos with kits from graphic design websites.

I sought to create a minimalistic brand identity for this fictitious clean skincare line. The minimalism in the brand logo reflects the minimal, natural ingredient list of their products.
Paradis is a heaven for those who know that they vote with their dollars, and their ideal customers wish to change the beauty industry.

Well there are two meanings behind it and they're both very special to me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The saying goes that you want to end things on a high note. However, it's my goal through working together, that the "rebirth" of your brand STARTS on a high note. The transformation of your brand (achieved through lots of strategy) will set you up for success, in addition to making you more confident in your business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The story of the studio name goes much deeper, though. Much like seashells can often carry the sound of the ocean in them, my heart carries in it the sound of classical music. Namely, opera. I majored in music (vocal performance) and I love singing opera arias, art songs, and sacred music.
As an artist, I apply the same passion in crafting your brand identity (logo, alternate logo, submarks, etc) as I do when infusing emotion and passion through singing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you've enjoyed this peek behind the curtain, and that it helps you see how having a story behind the brand will help you connect with your ideal client.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's the story of the name of your business? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is a submark? A submark is another element that is pulled from the main logo. It's usually smaller than the main logo, and is often used as a favicon, profile picture or as a photo watermark.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Submarks are especially helpful to brands with long business names because they provide a simple alternative to their main logo.
A little story about Christine’s submark: both her first and last name begin with the letter C, and we went with a submark that had an organic component. Christine is an avid gardener (she grows the most gorgeous dahlias I’ve ever seen) and her life is very grounded in the fruits of the earth. Naturally, we incorporated floral elements throughout her branding.
What imagery do you see in your mind think of Chanel or Nike?
The iconic double Cs is the submark of the Chanel brand. The swoosh is a component of the Nike logo, but it also works as a standalone submark.
Does your business have a sub mark?

Content backup, I learned, is one of those things you don't need UNTIL YOU NEED IT. Know what I'm saying? All it took was my beloved MacBook dying to realize just how important data backup is - both laptop and site backups.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
