De Novo Branding Identity

Capstone Project at Savannah College of Art & Design

The De Novo Branding project centers around the idea of revitalization and transformation. The name De Novo, meaning "anew" in Latin, reflects the company's mission to breathe new life into businesses, helping them thrive in competitive markets. The branding strategy focuses on merging contemporary design with traditional values, creating a visual identity that resonates with clients looking for a fresh start.

 
 
 
 

Design Strategy

The design strategy for De Novo Branding was built on three key pillars: Identity, Versatility, and Luxury.

  1. Identity
    The logo concept integrates a combination of serif and sans-serif fonts, symbolizing the balance between tradition and modernity. This typographic choice effectively communicates the company’s mission to revive businesses while maintaining a connection to their heritage.

  2. Versatility
    The prominent arc in the logo serves as a dynamic visual element that bridges the past and present of each client. This arc represents the various marketing strategies and services offered by De Novo Branding, emphasizing adaptability and innovation in their approach.

  3. Luxury
    To convey a sense of high-end luxury, the color palette and design elements were carefully selected. Soft, sophisticated colors paired with clean lines create an elegant yet approachable aesthetic, ensuring that the brand's solutions feel both exclusive and accessible.
