The Logo Company Case Study

Back To Portfolio

HedgePoint

Introduction

Hedge point is a financial consultation company for small to medium sized corporations.

The target audience is owners, CFO’s and treasurers of small to medium sized corporations.

The logo design is to be a maximum of 3 colors, with a combination of grey, blue and a suitable third color. The company slogan is “Interest Rate Management Advisors”. The logo is to be clean, solid and professional looking.

The Design Process

The first thing that happens when we receive a new business logo design order is to get all our design team together for a brain storming meeting and start shooting ideas. There are a minimum of 3 designers per project. Some clients feel that having one designer is better as “Too many cooks…” and others believe “The more the merrier”, but projects can have more or less designers depending on the client. The designers will have a meeting and each logo designer will come up with design concepts to be worked upon by the group. This is also when they may ask the client for additional information. This is the creative stage and leads to the design of unique concepts.

Initial Concepts

By day three the designers will be sending out the initial concepts of the company logo design. These designs are presented to another designer (team leader of another business logo design project) for inspection and approval. The selected logo designs are then provided to the client for viewing and they can provide any revision instructions for each of the designs.
In the email we send to the client with the initial concepts we also explain about the colors used by our design teams as we do not use RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color palette but instead the professional Pantone color palette.

The RGB color scheme is used on TV's, computer monitors and home/office printers. The Pantone color scheme is the industry standard and all professional printers use this color scheme as it has greater variety of pre-mixed colors for a consistent corporate look.
We also direct the client to available Fonts from the online library at Adobe (we stock most of the Adobe fonts). Here the client can choose a font which appeals to them.

Client Feedback

Client Response

The client takes as long as they need to review the designs and think of any revisions they feel are necessary. When they are ready to move forward the client will provide us the instructions to carry out.
The client replied with the comment:

“Hi,

Thanks for the designs. I would like to go with the 1st design but would like to consider the following changes:

1. Get rid of the image that is above Hedgepoint

2. The color that is used for "point", I would like to consider a couple other shades of blue.  I like the current blue but would like to see a few other slightly darker shades of blue.

Let me know if you have any questions.”

The client decided to focus on a single design. The client’s comments are passed on to the design team and they begin implementing the client’s instructions.

We aim to have the revised design/s back with the client in 3 business days.

1st Set of Revisions

These are the designs which the design team prepared for the client to view and from here the client will decide which design/s they would like move forward with:
The client responded to these designs with the following comments:

“Hi,

I would like to go with the third design.

Thanks for your help!”

After receiving the green light from the client the design team would normally begin to prepare the final pack for the client but as this is a logo and Stationary project, the design team begin preparing the initial stationary concepts.
