The concept

It is important to understand a product’s uniqueness and value before beginning any branding process. To start, brainstorm and write down as many attributes as possible, and then identify a few that are most effective.

Them some few promising directions were found. Next, a few selected directions were explored, testing them to make sure the final decision was justified.

Core values reflected in branding

Typography

Inspired by European typographic trends between the second half of 19th century and first half of the 20th. It looks rational and geometric. However, it is optically corrected and balanced.

This font face is designed to be used mostly for headlines, visual identities or short sentences, both in big and small sizes. Novecento comes in 32 styles.

Color palette

To create the young palette, those tones were taken decomposing the main color, which was burgundy. The idea is to create a colorful palette based on Venezuelan national soccer team jersey.

The bright red color is the primary color, while the violet color is used to create the gradient for the background, then a roast lime is chosen as a supplementary color to contrast with the gradient background.
