Beacon
Beacon is an intuitively designed, web-based intervention support system for K-12 schools. The Beacon team approached me in 2018 to create a brand for their company.
Starting Point
At time of engagement, Beacon’s brand consisted of only a working name: Beacon. The team thought the name had potential, but wanted to perform their due diligence and explore different options. In addition, they needed a logo, typography kit, color palette, and branding guidelines.
Process
I constructed the following process for developing Beacon’s branding:
- Research Beacon, it’s mission, and the opportunities it addresses
- Research potential competitors and similar organizations
- Create a brand “personality” through mood boards, color palettes and keyword selection
- Craft name concepts and select a finalist (“Beacon” won, against numerous competitors)
- Craft logo concepts and select a finalist
- Polish final logo
- Craft a matching typography kit and color palette
- Compile a branding guidelines document
Finished Product
The Beacon rebranding project produced a stunning logo, typeface pairing and color palette that communicate the brand’s secure, data-driven, robust, encouraging and hopeful personality.
The branding guidelines document created a structured, yet adaptable set of guidelines that the team will use to ensure the consistency and integrity of their new brand.
