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.

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.

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.
