Assignment 19: Research & Inspiration

AZUL SALON AND SPA
Research:
Most logos for spas and salons use cool colors or neutral colors because it suggests relaxation, as opposed to warm colors that are very strong and pop out more. Script-like or handwriting-type font is used because the curvy lines give a feel of slight motion or movement and a little bit of relaxation. Most cards have a dark background and a light, pastel colored font.
Logos: A graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. It is most commonly referred to as a LOGO. 

Business cards: It is an essential part of a stationary design. When you hand someone your business card, they will form an immediate opinion about your company. your business card does more than tell people how to find you: it says something about your company - its mission, its culture, and its goals. Everything from the colors, font, and texture, shade, and gloss of the paper you print on says something about you.

Inspiration Pieces:
Business Cards:
The blue is a very
mellow colors so it
is very soothing, and the
flower on the bottom
has a lot of curves
so the flowing appearance
of the flowers is also relaxing.

The tiger like stripes looks
like water, so just looking
at the card makes me feel
extremely relaxed.

I like the colors used and
how well they contrast
each other. I also like
the simplicity of the design
and of the card in general.


Letterheads:
I like the stem that is going up
the page. 
 
I like the design and how
well it goes together.


Envelope:
I like how the hummingbird
is in both the logo and
in the background of the
envelope.

I enjoy the designs
and the colors.
