Logo

Michael's Approach

A logo is the visual representation of a brand serving as a unique identifier that captures the essence of a company or organisation. Effective logo design requires a balance of creativity, simplicity, and memorability.

Logo Case Study

"Inspired by my cat!"

I realised that a Cheetah represents the brand perfectly if the concept is executed properly

THE Problem

A new ISP provider of foreign origin and investment is struggling to grow awareness and following in central Africa. Due to political uncertainty, trust and inclusion is a big problem in central Africa, and they need a robust communication network.

THE STRATEGY

Create a brand identity with the look and feel of an international investment company, with an African influence.

Tailored to reflect local contexts, cultures and an emotional appeal.

Vibrant & culturally resonant colours reflecting rich diversity, while the use of blue, creates trust, alongside white to signify transparency and openness.

Vivid graphics of strong network coverage & uninterrupted connections can emphasise reliability.

Clean, modern design that conveys professionalism and approachability.

Increased brand integrity
Increased brand trust

Deliverables

I produced a brand manual and designed all the branded assets.

RECENT project

Sea Dog

A Tuna Fishing team of enthusiasts asked for a logo. The requirement was a 1 or 2-colour iconic representation of the team. I came up with 2 options:

  1. A classic (traditional) styled 1 colour,
  2. A 2-colour contemporary version, with attitude.

Pushing the envelope of what’s possible, building lasting quality brands and engaging graphic content is my thing!
