The Problem
JSA’s previous branding didn’t reflect the bold, collaborative, energetic, and youthful energy they were hoping to convey through their visual identity. It was professional, however, it lacked approachability and distinguishability to help their business stand out. JSA needed a mark they could plop anywhere and everywhere as well as a wordmark that could pair seamlessly or stand by itself. The main challenge? Crafting a look that made JSA feel professional, approachable, and, above all, bold!
Testimonial
“Vincent made the experience an exciting one. I was very passionate about the project and struggled to find somebody who shared that enthusiasm, but he did. I didn’t have and expectations as I know brand design is a fluid process that could end up anywhere, but Vincent had a structure to the way he worked and it kept everything on track. I was really happy with what we ended up with and he was too. I think that’s important as he didn’t just design what I wanted, he designed something that we both felt was brilliant.
I think Vincent really understood my vision and he executed it well. I think this was helped by the careful and comprehensive onboarding interview and structure throughout the project.”
