Logo Design, Brand Identity, (june 2024)

Love is in the hair!

“Coupe-Coupe” isan existing hair salon in Vevey. This project is completely imaginary, names are created. I was interested in recreating the brand as I possibly see it. Below you can see a format of a brand presentation I used for showcasing the process.

The result is a reimagined brand identity that celebrates the salon’s commitment to natural ingredients, while incorporating a playful, whimsical touch inspired by the beauty of nature.

Font Strategy

FONT STRATEGY

Simplicity: By limiting to two carefully selected fonts, we maintain a clean look across all brand materials.

Recognition: Consistent use of these fonts will strengthen brand recognition.

Versatility: They are enough contrast to create visual hierarchy without overwhelming designs. We can achieve variety through weight and size adjustments rather than introducing additional typefaces.

Focus: With fewer elements to manage, we can focus on perfecting the use of these fonts, ensuring they always complement our message and aesthetic.

Timelessness: A streamlined font selection helps future-proof our brand, avoiding trends that might quickly date our look.
