Design a logo and a visual identity goes way beyond the free form and artistic side of what most people think. There is all the rational part including proportions, scaleability optical adjustments and reproduction that has to be thought in order to create an efficient and well design logo. The visual design guidelines will provide this information to ensure that the brand is used correctly.

In this post we want to illustrate the construction or guidelines of a logo. From VW to Twitter and Braun we hope these examples can inspire and instruct you for your next branding project.

Behance Business Cards Design

Behance Business Cards Design

I am a fan of Behance, I remember in 2007 when they launched the beta version and I got an invite, I was so stoked. Now after all these years it's awesome to see how it evolved to become one of the biggest websites for creatives. One of the things that makes Behance really cool is also their attention to detail on their own branding.

Sofia Luxury Residence Branding

Branding and visual identity projects is a vast effort, it goes from designing logo, identity to basic collaterals to the digital part with web site and mobile. Some projects still require a lot of print design work and as a lover of the lost art of print I have to feature these projects, like the Sofia Luxury Residence designed by HYPE Agency in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Georain – Visual Identity

Personal projects are very important for the improvement of the design skills, there are less constraints in terms of back and forth with other decision makers but still it's a great way to try different workflows and techniques. The project that Morten Håvik shared on his Behance page is a great example. A lot of attention to detail and beautiful outcome. Make sure to check it out after the break. Georain is a fictional weather modification company that observe, measure and monitor the atmospheric precipitation processes.

Visual Identity and Graphic Design for Kodak

Visual Identity and Graphic Design for Kodak

We are taking a look at this very cool visual identity project for Kodak, a place for music. Designed by Estudio Albino and Roberto De Leon who are both from Guadalajara, Mexico. What I love about this project is first of all the tone they used on the use of the logos across the branding, you totally understand the movement generated by music through the distortion. It's a beautiful understatement and surely is creative on all ends. Enjoy!
