Project scope

What is the main goal for this project?

Our company is looking to solidify our identity and revamp the logo that we currently have. We are looking to better connect with our audience by standing out and being memorable while also being able to use the designs the students offer in a corporate setting.

We are looking for real designs that we could use in our branding as well as general branding knowledge. The right candidate would work to create consistent promotional branding and come up with possible new names for the company.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Researching the brand identity.
  • Logo and name proposals that reflect who we are
  • Work to create a branding guide for us to reference
  • Help create prototypes using software tools that can be implemented in our marketing
  • Research into the competitors to see what they are doing.
  • Creating custom branding sheets with colours and logos.

What tasks will students need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities (this is basically a retelling of the steps above):

  • Research into brand
  • Logo ideas
  • Brand reference
  • Prototypes for us to use

Bonus steps would include:

  • Custom material for us to use later on

Final deliverables should include

  • A start to a brand sheet and guide for us to reference
  • Prototypes of the logos made with software

How will you support students in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Access to personnel, website analytics, sales and brand collateral, and more
  • Names of competitors to understand the market
  • Work within the student's software expertise
