Moodboards & General Brand Direction
Challenge: The selected brand positioning was broad and required refinement to strike the right balance, particularly in expressing femininity without leaning into clichés.
Solution: We developed three distinct visual concepts, each exploring a different degree of visual intensity. This approach allowed us to evaluate how varying levels of boldness and softness could align with the brand’s identity and resonate with the target audience.
Logotype concepts
With the strategic foundation in place, we moved into the creative exploration phase, translating the brand’s positioning into visual identity. Below are two distinct logo directions for Co-Motion, each capturing a different facet of the brand's personality while staying aligned with its core values.
Final Logo Version
From a strategic standpoint, we moved forward with first direction that aligns best with the brand’s progressive and future-facing identity, while maintaining just enough edge to remain memorable. The sharp cuts in the "C" and "O" introduce a dynamic tension that speaks to motion and momentum, while the overall structure remains clean and timeless. Visually, it achieves a balance between being bold and minimal, making it highly adaptable across digital and print formats.
Final Color Palette & Typeface
We chose Manrope for its geometric simplicity and contemporary character. The use of Extra Bold weights adds confident visual impact in headers and brand statements, while the Regular style ensures readability and a friendly tone in body copy. Together, they strike a balance between professionalism and approachability.
Brand Assets
We created brand gradients, patterns, squigglys lines, etc. to use them across templates and assets.
Brand Illustrations
We chose a hand-drawn style of icons to bring warmth, personality, and a human touch to the visual identity. While our typography and layout lean clean and geometric, the hand-drawn elements introduce a sense of play, spontaneity, and approachability—reminding users that behind the brand, there are real people, emotions, and stories.
