Wordmark iterations
Kite Community Wellness Center is strategically divided into three main departments that match the needs of its members and provide them with the resources for cultivating healthy habits and fostering stronger community.
Each department resides in its own wing of the building, and their identities and are consistent with the overall Kite brand identity, yet they include unique visual elements and color palettes that are matched to each department’s services. This also works as a subtle visual wayfinding system. The three department icons are imbued with elements of the Kite wordmark to keep a consistent look.
To build on Kite’s brand identity of being a desirable desintation to freely enjoy participation in health enhancing and community bonding activities, it was essential to create dynamic, uplifting graphics, with layered imagery and messaging, that reinforces these aspirations.
I chose to pursue this visual concept to show a study in consistent design strategy within a brand, but distinction within each element so each design can stand alone.
The Proactive Fitness Department encourages individuals to pursue healthy habits through a selection of fitness classes, one-on-one coaching, gymnasium equipment for personal use, and a range of sporting activities.
