Bluecow
In this project case study, I will be sharing my experience designing a logo for a dairy-based beverage making brand called "Bluecow".
The goal was to create an appealing and eye-catchy logo for their brand. The type of logo designed in this project was a wordmark, with a subtle negative space cow icon. The process began with thorough research into the target market and competitors, ensuring the design would stand out while resonating with the audience. I then started to sketch based on my research where i started playing with typography. My concepts evolved around a minimalist typography with a hidden cow icon. This subtle detail was designed to engage viewers and reinforce the brand’s connection to its roots. The final result is a timeless and meaningful logo that embodies Bluecow’s identity, delivering both visual appeal and brand storytelling.
