Vive art U Brand Guidelines

The Hispanic/Latino community in the U.S. is very diverse, including people from many different nations and regions of the world.

After experimenting with different type faces, I chose Oleo Script Swash and Corbert for the logo. The high contrast make them a perfect pair that complement each other without fighting for attention.

A geometric sans serif typeface influenced by Bauhaus and the early modernist era. Precise circles are optically adjusted to create a clear, natural typeface with great legibility. Details include 540 characters with alternative lowercase a, e and g, 5 variations of numerals, manually edited kerning and Open-type features.

Bookman or Bookman Old Style, is a serif typeface. A wide, legible design that is slightly bolder than most body text faces, Bookman has been used for both display typography and for printing at small sizes such as in trade printing, and less commonly for body text. In advertising use it is particularly associated with the graphic design of the 1960s and 1970s, when revivals of it were very popular.

Oleo is a flowy yet legible non-connected script typeface. It is perfect for situations where a quaint and casual lettering effect is desired. Suitable for various typography contexts including captions, headlines, packaging, invitations, cards, posters, advertising, greeting cards, and book jackets.

Open Sans is a humanist sans serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson, Type Director of Ascender Corp. This version contains the complete 897 character set, which includes the standard ISO Latin 1, Latin CE, Greek and Cyrillic character sets. Open Sans was designed with an upright stress, open forms and a neutral, yet friendly appearance. It was optimized for print, web, and mobile interfaces, and has excellent legibility characteristics in its letterforms. A few condensed styles are also available.

Since our target market is exclusively the Academy of Art Latino students, I chose the same color palette as the academy.

I wanted to create a dynamic logo where the simplicity was the key. Also, I want the logo to identified itself with the Latino culture. The upside-down or inverted exclamation marks are unique of Spanish language.

Since I want the typeface to be the logo itself, I did a lot of explorations in order to find the right font pairing.
