01. The Challenge
SunLion Events, a music festival, faced a challenge due to the lack of consistency across their branding, which affected their aesthetics, continuity, and consumer trust. With inconsistent branding elements, such as logos, color schemes, and messaging, the festival struggled to establish a cohesive and recognizable identity. This inconsistency hindered their ability to create a strong visual impact and a memorable experience for attendees. The lack of continuity across different marketing channels and touchpoints created confusion among potential festival-goers, making it difficult for them to connect with the brand and trust its authenticity.
02. The Solution
The first step in addressing the problem was designing a cohesive visual system that included a consistent typography selection, color palette, and logo design. A typography style was carefully chosen that aligned with the festival’s personality and genre of music, and was applied consistently across the festival’s media and print platforms. A well-defined color palette was developed and applied consistently throughout all marketing collateral, including website design, social media posts, and promotional materials. The new logo was versatile, adaptable to different mediums, and easily recognizable. This revamped logo was consistently applied across all touchpoints, reinforcing the festival’s identity and building trust with attendees and potential customers.
