Pre-Production

Process: Concept development, image sourcing, typography and colour scheme.

We were tasked with reimagining the Ugo Group brand, to create a luxurious, high-class, modern aesthetic. Our initial process involved four designers digitally sketching and mapping potential ideas. These concepts were based on the structural lines found in building architecture, with three tiers to the logo that add the depth of a cityscape. These layers subtly show the letter U, which then becomes more visible when the logo is scaled down. Once we had created the identity, we then refined and supplied several variations to Ugo Group, along with colour theory, image treatment and various identity examples of how the new brand would be utilised.

Production

Process: Layout, UX/UI, design and imagery.

Once Ugo Group had selected an identity, we developed the brand further by establishing typography, logo lockups and a finalised colour palette to ensure brand consistency. We believe from our research that a gold colour palette radiates luxury, but can be overpowering when overused. We countered this by utilising grey undertones to balance the gold, creating a modern and elegant finish.

Post-Production

Process: Editing, compositing and colour grading.

Lastly, we supplied high-quality marketing collateral such as letterheads, business cards and company wallpapers, bringing every element together under a single cohesive brand. We added the finishing touches by utilising specialist printing techniques, such as de-bossing and foil blocking to elevate the finer details of the brand. After a very successful project, we look to continue our relationship with Ugo Group.
