Objective
Conceptualize a company out the name Muddy Shark, created by combining an adjective and an animal. Then design a company logo along with a complete style guide that includes an identity package and guidelines for logos, typefaces, and colors.
Design Solution
The primary identifying mark of our company is a combination logo allowing for abstract thought to connect with a name. These elements are applied simultaneously in all branding material so that the brand identity of Muddy Shark Resort & Spa can be fully developed. The inward spiral of the shark fin represents fluidity and motion, defining two elements that are essential to the relaxation and rejuvenation of mind and body. A gradient is used to further illustrate this gradual movement of one state of mind to another. The sans serif font, Bebas Neue Pro, has a simplified and elegant appearance, while also feeling grounded. The wordmark is a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters. The lowercase letters inviting guests into the symbolic growth of the uppercase letters. To read further thoughts on the design, take a look inside the brand book!
