Icons and Colors
Personalized icons, including a car rim, bpm symbol, and lightning bolt, were designed for Instagram story highlight usage. The icons also support the visual aspects of the brand.
Red was requested for the brand. I provided 4 color combinations to be paired with red. The combinations provided are vibrant and electric to compliment the energy and personality of the client. We moved forward with red and pink.
Reflection
When choosing colors for A.S. Calisthenic's branding, I wanted the colors to feel electric, vibrant, and masculine. Choosing a bright magenta to be paired with the red brought up an issue that I should have considered earlier. The business cards were printed using a CMYK process, so the vibrant magenta fell flat and dull. To keep the colors consistent, I imagine a spot color must be used. Because this client/business is new and small at the moment, this isn't a big issue but I will take this as a lesson and will consider this for future printing projects.
