Study Brief 01 - Critique: Re-branding Krispy Kreme logo Feedback

In todays critique, we got put into groups to analysis each one chosen brand to redesign. This critique was here to help to get some advice from my peers on our logos, they were their to help out our difficulty we may of had when producing our redesigned logo.

 For my redesign logo it was 'Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts', here are the questions that I asked my peers to help me create my final logo and this included their answers to my problems that I struggled with.

 Question for Krispy Kreme, Doughnut

 Do you think its relevant to keep the bowtie shape or could you suggest another shape that I could use to represent the shop?

 I had a mix opinion about this change, as some of my peers said yes as it stays with the original trademark, whilst some agree to change it to a doughnut shape.

 Could you suggest other colours that I could change on the logo, as it looks quite retro?

 Overall, the peers in my group said that I should keep the colours the same as the current logo. The colour, Red and Green are recognisable and distinctive. One of my peers highlighted that the green dots on the Krispy Kreme packaging is one of the most recognisable trademark of the brand, so I might have to experiment with this.

 With the typography should I keep with the Serif and Sans-Serif combination or only stick with one front style? 

 My peers advised me to keep with the combination of Sans-Serifs and Serifs together. They said it would look better as the current one has the same. Some peers suggested that I could extent the logo of the typography slightly to keep it balance.

 Here are some of my work that I presented them with:


The bottom images demonstrate me recreating my design for my logo that I did, following from my peers advice that I tried to follow.

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical  small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second  development work was successful as the colours of the type has  been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the  pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one  on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper  stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the  visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is  appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context.  Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge  and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme,  as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

Objectivity - Subjectivity

Evaluation: Overall, my final evaluation including looking at my peers/year tutors feedback of my logotype. Has shown that I needed to do more research into my colours, as I tried to stick with the original colours of the current logo of Krispy Kreme. As my last critique group told me to stick with them without changing it. Some liked and disliked the outline of the typography as some say it looked like icing, whilst others said it would be better if it were fuller so it makes more of an impact. Most of the comment was about the bad colour choices of the Green as it has connotations of an industrial, chemical and unhealthy look. But some said it could have connotations of high sugar as for a donut. Everyone recognised the doughnut shape for the logo, some saw the neon letter as an American diner look as my critique group told me to stay with the retro look. One of my others peers comment, that the use of the contrast between the Sans Serifs and Serif typography is appropriate to d...
