Creative Process
Brand Discovery:
I began by understanding the core values and mission of Chelsea Yoga Therapy. Through discussions with the founder, I identified key themes of sanctuary, healing, and tranquility.
Concept Development:
Based on my insights, I brainstormed and sketched several logo concepts. I focused on symbols of peace and lightness, such as a feather, to represent the therapeutic and gentle nature of the practice.
Design and Refinement:
I refined initial sketches into digital drafts, experimenting with different styles and color palettes. Feedback from the client was instrumental in finalizing a logo that embodies the essence of Chelsea Yoga Therapy.
Visual Elements
Logo:
The final logo features a minimalist feather, symbolizing lightness, freedom, and a gentle touch. The feather is stylized to convey movement and grace, encapsulating the fluidity and tranquility of yoga therapy.
Color Palette:
#FAF8F2: A soft, warm beige that creates an inviting and soothing atmosphere.
#D0D6D4: A gentle gray-green, evoking a sense of calm and balance.
#6C847B: A muted green, reflecting nature and grounding.
#314F44: A deep, calming green, symbolizing stability and peace.
Accents in #D9C371: A gold accent, adding a touch of elegance and warmth.
Typography:
I chose Contralto Big for the heading styles to convey sophistication and trustworthiness. For paragraph styles, I selected All Round Gothic to enhance readability and maintain a friendly, approachable tone.
Applications
The visual identity can be applied across various touchpoints, including business cards, social media graphics, and a website. Each application should maintain consistency in color, typography, and style, reinforcing the brand's cohesive image.
Results
Chelsea Yoga Therapy's new visual identity effectively communicates its mission to provide a healing and tranquil space for clients. The brand elements work harmoniously to attract and reassure potential clients, establishing a strong foundation for the practice's growth.
Creating the visual brand identity for Chelsea Yoga Therapy was a fulfilling project that allowed me to blend creativity with strategic thinking. The final design reflects the practice's core values and provides a visual experience that resonates with its audience.
