Apex Lifestyles Brand Strategy
I was hired to conduct a series of brand discovery exercises to help the client better understand their brand and its needs. The result was a brand brief and three styles capes.
Inclusive Coach
Brand Attributes
+ committed
+ realistic
+ confidence
+ empowered
+ progressive
This direction has the simplest color palette. It’s focused on imagery that represents groups, coaching, and the outdoors. It’s the closest direction to the original logo but expands on the initial elements. Colors are blue, grey, white and black. It uses images of the outdoors to help illustrate the idea of reaching your fullest potential in all areas.
Human Touch
Brand Attributes
+ education
+ awaken
+ relateability
+ honest
+ understanding
+ welcoming
This direction begins to include a more human element. It begins to expand our visual language and include subtle themes of spirituality. Keyword “subtle.” It begins to include more “everyday” people in our imagery and introduces the use of icons. The color palette is vibrant and inviting.
Bold Hero
Brand Attributes
+ results
+ confidence
+ empowered
+ committed
This spicy direction takes the “in your face” approach. It has a strong, bold color palate. The icons are simple yet strong. The focus is on results and confidence.
