4. North Fulton Psychiatric care, P.c.
North Fulton Psychiatric Care, P.C. is a private practice in Roswell,
Georgia, specializing in the treatment of ADHD, depression,
anxiety and other psychiatric conditions. The client wanted a
modern interpretation of his practice’s original logo. The final logo
is meant to convey the idea of focus and a feeling of optimism.
12. NFPc Business card
A simple and classic business card
appropriate for the client. The
prominent logo adds interest, but the
overall design remains conservative
and professional.
13. Spectator’s
Spectator’s is a women’s boutique located in downtown Lawrence,
Kansas. Spectator’s offers a selection of sophisticated and unique
clothing for both formal and informal occasions. The store has a
loyal clientele comprised primarily of middle-aged women. As part
of a visual communications group project, we created solutions to
rebrand the store, making it more inviting to younger customers
while retaining a sense of sophistication. I focused on redesigning
the mark with the goal of developing a more modern image while
maintaining the classic sensibilities of the original.
» Original Mark
Strengths
· bold
· references the spectator shoe
Weaknesses
· ambiguous
· dated
· ominous
· irregular form
· confusing typographic element
16. Spectator’s Mark Color Tests
The client was reluctant to introduce
color into the store’s branding. Color
can, however, be a very important tool.
Merely adding a single color creates an
eyecatching effect that makes the mark
more visually appealing and less dated.
20. Final Spectator’s Mark Proposal
» Final Mark
The proposed mark
retains the boldness of the
original and the reference
to the black and white
spectator shoe. The new
elements evoke images
of sophisticated, modern
women. The silhouette has
a striking feminine quality
that better represents the
Spectator’s customer.
21. Final Spectator’s Mark Proposal Variations
When use of the full mark is not
necessary, practical or desirable,
these variations provide recognizable
alternatives. The name “Spectator’s”
could refer to a variety of stores, but the
hat acts as a necessary cue to the specific
brand.
