Creating a brand

I want to use the idea of numbers for my brand as they are extremely simple and easy to remember making for a recognisable brand. I think that the branding of Twenty One Pilots is effective as they use numbers that are written out as words. However I want to create the opposite where there are only numbers. This will create a simple brand that is very recognisable. I decided to use Roman Numerals when creating my brand as alternative rock/pop would fit a unique kind of brand.

When looking at the roman numeral chart I wanted numbers which are symmetrical and represent a relatively small amount. The number 19 was perfect for this. XIX is a symmetrical shape which would be very visual on a website or poster.

After simply searching Band Logos I found these images on Google search. I can see that this genre often uses just the name of the band as a logo to create their brand. The colours most shown here are red and black which may influence my design as it should fit into regular codes and conventions of a band. Some of the ones that are the most visual to me are the Rolling Stones logo which has no brand title emphasising how effective the brand is as the audience immediately knows what the logo represents.


Another one of my favourite brands here is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers one using red grey and black. I think that on the black background it stands out well and I think that it would look effective on digipaks and posters. These two designs have influenced me to possibly include red on my brand. This will then fit into the codes and conventions of my genre and also be very visual to the audience.
