A good concept test for me is if I can easily imagine the logo being animated with a natural movement, then it is likely a strong concept. Even if the client does not require an animation, just envisioning it can lead to cleaner and simpler solutions.

Discovery

After reviewing the creative brief, stakeholder interviews, and brand audit, I began the research and concept development phase for Enchant's new logo identity.

In tandem, the PR professionals and SEO specialists defined the overall messaging, tone of voice, keyword research, and website content.

The collaboration across all teams during the project lifecycle ensured that we had the right messaging with the right visuals, all working together.

Concept Creations

I brought the logo sketches to life in Adobe Illustrator and presented them internally for team feedback.

3 logo concepts were chosen and then refined and fo rpresentation to the client.

Aside from the concept that was ultimately chosen, these are some of the other concepts that were developed.

Stakeholder Presention

To present to the client's C-suite and Board of Directors, I built a micro website to showcase the concepts for the client. It made for an impactful "concept reveal" experience that was more immersive and efficient than the typical static presentation.

I provided art direction for the freelance web designer to create custom home page layouts that aligned seamlessly with each logo design.

Delivery

The winning concept was unanimously selected, setting the foundation for the brand's transformation. After finalizing and securing client approval on the refined logo identity, I crafted a design system and comprehensive suite of marketing materials to align with the bold new brand identity system.

Enchant Energy's new branding far exceeded the client's expectations and gave them a professional and dynamic identity system to grow with.
