Existing Brand

THE OLD LOGO DESIGN REVEALED SEVERAL MAJOR PROBLEMS:

  • It looked outdated and didn’t align with modern branding goals.

  • It felt too young for an audience that was growing older.

  • It failed to show the creator’s personal style.

  • It wasn’t flexible across social media, merchandise, or other channels.

  • It didn’t fit a streetwear-inspired product line.
