DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEHIND THE BRAND REDES DA MARÉ?

 

 

 

The main idea was to create a brand with a design without too much complexity, but very resistant to time and simple to apply.

Redes da Maré is an institution founded and led, majorly, by women. As the feminine concept belongs to the essence and creation of the organization, it was relevant in the creation of this logo.

For this, a typographic brand was developed with the design based on simple geometric shapes. The lilac color that was already part of the institution's identity was kept and orange was added to the palette as an auxiliary color, referring to the idea of ​​dynamism and joy.

To represent the collective work, we chose to use ligatures between the letters. The dynamism of the institution is also represented in the variable alignment of the letters, which also refers to the urban formatting of the communities.
