Visual identity

Aria Agency.

A visual identity created for Aria: logo, color system, typography and the brand's usage manual.

Why I made it

Aria needed an identity that stayed consistent across every channel: digital, print and social media. A brand that changes its look with every post loses strength, and the goal was to avoid that from the start.

The idea

Create more than a logo: a complete system, with defined colors, a typographic hierarchy and usage rules, so anyone on the team could produce a piece without straying from the brand.

Creative process

I started by understanding what Aria wanted to convey and to whom. From there I defined the logo, the color system and the typographic hierarchy, and tested everything on real applications: screens, print and posts.

In the end, it all became a brand book that documents the visual guidelines. It is the document that stays with the brand after I am no longer on the project.

Decisions I made

  • A system, not just a logoColors, typography and rules designed together.
  • Complete typographic hierarchyHeading, subheading and body defined for each format.
  • Usage manualWritten guidelines to ensure consistency across the brand's channels.

What I took away

Working on someone else's brand is an exercise in listening. My taste matters less than what the brand needs to communicate.
