TopDogs Change of Colour/Brand


I knew I had to change the logo in order to change the whole colour. If the logo was still block pink behind it, I don't think it would of gone with the whole new aesthetic, of white, lined pink, clean and fresh. So I experimented with colours from the range, but decided using the pink line will work the best. 
The target audience hasn't changed although the logo on its own looks feminine. 


New logo



I swapped the colours around so the overall brand was more subtle and easier on the eye. The line drawing of the dog became a pink outline drawing, on white background. This gave it a cleaner feel to the brand as well. The type was changed to the same pink as well, so it was matching and kept together. The shape was now lost because it was a on white background but it still worked. This is because I wasn’t planning on using real images on the posters I wanted to use the logo and illustrations. With the new logo, I waned to make simple, well designed posters. However, when I went on my placement at Everything. Different, I learned in order to advertise a new business you have to be quite informative.

With the colour change I applied it to all the printed material I had designed. Posters, Flyers, Business cards, Menu.

I applied the identity to the drawing of a van, so there was context to these designs.  However I was stuck with colour again because once putting this all together, the menu and van really looked like ice cream parlour.

The white and the pink, in the way I was using it, did look good but had the possibility of looking like a different business.








New experiments with the use of pink and black on flyers and posters.
