colony house: the good ones
Branding // Packaging Design // Art Direction
Colony House
The main focus of this case study is the creation of a logo and the four emblems, each of which represents each member of Colony House. The emblems would play into practice within a greatest hits album, all of which will push the band’s visual representation and appeal for new fans.
The Four Keys
A redesign of their original three keys logo, the new keywheel logo utilizes four keys for all four members. Furthermore, allows the versitality of the mark into branding play, in this case; emblems.
Emblems
Emblems are an important Branding deliverable for Colony House’s branding, which represents each band member’s visual persona and traits.
This idea was inspired by Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin IV and Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation, in which all band members were designed an emblem that represented themselves by visual and personality.
