The challenge
In the project's initial phase, we clarified the assignment and divided ourselves into smaller groups to work efficiently. We started with a written design brief to ensure everyone was aligned on the project's core mission.

Strategy and Solution
Our team began by developing a concept for the visual identity. We knew the brand's core values had to be reflected in the graphic design, which, according to design theory, is at the top of the brand identity pyramid.

The First Logotype iteration
The First Logotype iteration
Our first approach was to create a logotype that directly communicated a "live" feel by using a simple red dot. The idea was to quickly establish a connection to live broadcasting.
The Final Logotype
The Final Logotype
Through feedback and testing in various mockups, we realized the red dot wasn't clear enough. To more effectively communicate that the platform was for live-streaming, we iterated on the design and replaced the dot with a broadcast signal symbol. This change created a stronger and more professional link to the platform's core function.
