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.

'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' - by Armand Mevis (Notes/Analysis)

During this session, we look into and analysis an essay called 'Every Book Starts with an Idea: Notes for Designers' by Armand Mevis. The whole class did a group discussion, we shared some significant quotes within the essay that relates to our brief Type in Context: ' All these books have to be designed. Someone needs to decide which paper, typography, cover, to use'. 'It may be a jungle; you may find it hard to get the nice job, and you might get lost, but that is part of the adventure'. Mistakes are inherent to the job of making books through trial and error'. Over the years we have learned to limit the number of mistake; we are now much more in control'. 'Ideally, all books start with a question. The clearer the question, the more precise the answer'. 'As designers we are as responsible for content as anyone else'. 'Some books arrived in plastic bags like garbage, stac...

Studio Brief 01 - Logotype, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In todays session, Simon Harrison gave the class a brief about redesigning a logo for brand that we have chosen. But this time we were told to do this individually. The logo we were allowed to choose could be any type of brand to redesign. However, it either had to be an international or nation brand. So for the start of this brief I went into the shopping district Trinity in Leeds, to find a logo of brand and re-create it to make it more updated or fresh. There are some images of the shops within Trinity that I considered to redesign: Once I have chosen a shop logo which I want to redesign, need to focus on by using only type. I have to experiment with stroke, scale, spacing, contrast and alignment to interpret my chosen company. I need to consider the following: Who is the company? What do they do? Who is the target audience? Where will the logo appear? Chosen Shop logo to redesign - Krispy Kreme, Doughnuts The shop that I wanted to r...

Ideas for Type in Context Publication

IDEAS In this blog post, I have found some examples on how I would like to layout my Type in Context Publication. As my target audience is aimed at people who like hikers and historians. This type of publication will inform the readers how our way finding signages have stayed the same rural design. For the amount of text I want within my publication, the direction of where this publication is going will only be a minimum amount of text. This maybe only just an introduction page and possibly a content page. The publication will either be a rural guide book or a coffee book for cafe where tourist/hikers/cyclist and so on, stop to have a break for some refreshments. The target audience of this specific type of publication will be at a demographic (geographical). To create this type of publication, I will use Indesign to help me arrange and layout my pictures. This will then be easier for me to print it out professionally. The siz...
