The Significance of a Color Palette
It’s crucial in shaping a specific narrative and personality when choosing a color palette for your brand. After carefully picking what would work best five colors exemplified what would resonate with my personal brand, the target audience, and the sports industry. The blues create a strong significance of trust, reliability, and professionalism, The color is often associated with various sports teams like the New England Patriots, the New York Knicks, the New York Giants, and various others. To add an appealing contrast to the darker tones, the selection of lighter and darker blues was carefully chosen along with the simplicity the color white provides. Lastly, much like the fans of the industry, choosing the vibrant orange adds energy and enthusiasm to the brand.
Bringing It All Together
After every element I’ve chosen reflects my values and aspirations within the sports industry, I’ve combined all them to create a logo that ensures the content can continue to engage the audience. The design features a circular design with a central image of an open book and a ring post in orange. The surrounding text reads, “Narratives Through Sports.” The background is interchangeable between a light blue and a white. Both colors provide a sense of calmness and trust, with a dark blue conveying professionalism and stability. To stand out in this competitive industry, the logo is supposed to help establish a unique identity that can provide a compelling story through sports.
