the concept

It’s always the weekend at harbour 9


A relaxed, casual weekend, spending time doing things that one loves whether it’s brunching, or a quick dip in the pool, hanging out at a coffee shop or a quick weekend getaway.

We want to echo this relaxed casual vibe in the brand as well. The word ‘harbour’ immediately transports you to an idyllic day by the waves, or soaking in the sun. We want to evoke that restful feeling everyday.

the logo

The logo has been created using a custom font, Harbour, inspired by breaking waves. To evoke a state of fun and relaxation, we integrated a waves pattern into it as well.

THE PROCESS

Using the concept and form of waves, we created a new font with subtle wave-like edges.

PADDING

Adequate breathing space to be left around the logo. Minimum space shown below

MINIMUM SIZE

When the logo goes below 3.5 cm, it is to be used without the waves, as it cannot be distinguished (user should use their discretion depending on application)

the icon

The logo is complemented with an icon that is used with it or in place of it. The brand will strive to make this icon recognisable amongst its audience.

colour palette

The colour palette consists of primary colours and secondary colours. The primary colour is a deep indigo to give it a mature look along with suiting the ‘harbour’ vibe.

 

Paired with that, is a white for a relaxed feel

The secondary colour palette lends the brand its joyful holiday vibe. These colours are to be used in smaller spaces, in conjunction with the primary colours.

Along with the custom Harbour font, we’ve introduced a sans serif Lato, as the body font.

 

The characteristic Harbour font is primarily used for headings while the Lato font, with its multiple weight options, complements it.

design language

Bringing all the design elements together in a balanced manner, creates a strong and cohesive brand identity. Along with colour and typography, we have explored the concept and form of waves and integrated it in the communication. Another important point to keep in mind is having adequate white space around the design for it to breathe.
