A personal case of rebranding
With a Japanese twist
During this long 2021, I went under a refreshing of my brand identity as a freelancer with a heartful spontaneous homage to Japanese culture. First I lightly modified my historical logo, the abstract sail inflated by the wind and made by the shapes of the capitals “D” and “P”, the first letters of my name and surname.
Then, since I run out of all my business cards and I had to reprint them, I thought to redesign them as well. I added the colors of the three areas of my skills (red for design, blue for web, green for content) and the two capital letters to have a more compact version of the logo to display in little spaces or tiny merchandising.
As I was working at it, I thought of a tribute to my passion for Japanese culture and I created a “tsuba” version on my logo. What the hell is a tsuba? Here it is, you’re welcome: tsuba on the wiki. Being still “in the zone” and having illustrator still running on my mac I read another time the story of the 47 Ronin, I watched a couple of old Japanese movies and a ton of anime, and I came out with the idea of having a personal mon.
I researched a little on the web and I found the “tomoe” element to be so familiar and used that I thought to integrate it into my design. I realized that two tomoe placed one next to the other could resemble a lowercase “d” letter next to a “p”: my initials again. It looked good to me and I was having fun realizing it. I even realized some stickers of it.
