BRANDING Branding and Packaging company
5th April 2012
Prepared by Annabel Lewak-SteedHead of Operations of SoulDesignz
1.Branding
We are offering a unique service in Graphic Design. Covering all financial margins, we are the go to specialists in branding and package design. We also offer services within the remits of web design and are at the forefront of core computer programming. Our unique selling point starts with the client and grows through their business. This becomes evidently clear as the business starts to project its identity into therelative market place. Competition is not the main concern of SoulDesignz. We stand above our rivals with our fair trade local based outsourcing of raw materials. Our expertise in our specialized fields and integral code of conduct. Potential clients of SoulDesignz will predominatly be made up of newly founded or existing business owners or existing business’s which require a new outlook, through their branding and packaging.

2. The Logo
SoulDesignz logo is designed using a bright and energetic colour scheme. It is designed to deliver an upbeat and fun vibe to attract clients. The logotype is legible and is appropriate for the business industry of branding and and package design. The symbol used as the ‘o’ can also be identified as SoulDesignz if seen on its own. The symbol incorporated within the logo is powerful and innovative.
2.1 Stand Out From The Crowd
There is a white space surrounding the logo, (marked above in black lines) to enable the logo to stand out from the crowd to avoid it getting lost amongst other designs. This is done as a protection barrier to be used on all applications such as busi-ness cards, letterheads and stationary etc.

2.5 Colour Palette
The SoulDesignz colour scheme is exuberant, strong and gives off an energetic vibe. SoulDesignz believes that colour offers an instantaneous method for conveying meaning. The colour palette used for SoulDesignz is powerful and communicates a vibrant positivity towards potential and exciting clients. Individual colours used within the palette have different attributes, which together culminate to form a strong message of originality, that is reflected within our work.
What colour means within SoulDesignz?

2.6 Typography
The SoulDesignz logo uses two fonts. Soul is created using the type from the family BD Bankwell designed by Lorenz Gianfreda in 2001, and Designz is created using the type from the family Folks, designed by Man-fred Klein in 2003. BD Bankwell is a quirky font with a friendly appre-ance and vibe. It is a legible and clear typeface with a unique feel. It is also clear to read at smaller text set-tings whilst maintaining its lively and subtelty on larger display sizes.
Folks is a simple but urban font. The font is very clear giving it a clean cut finnish.
