Rebranding Challenges

We began by identifying the gaps in the existing identity — the logo lacked participation and consistency, used an excess of colors, and failed to strike a balance between being formal and fun.
Since the Summer Workshop caters to a wide and diverse audience, it was essential to create a design system that feels inclusive across age groups, demographics, and gender.

Pastel shades were introduced to evoke a sense of freshness and summer, complementing the warm tones of yellow and orange used in the primary logo. This combination brought balance — maintaining vibrancy while ensuring a soft, welcoming visual appeal.

Paper cuts were used as the core visual language — translating the hands-on, playful spirit of the workshop into vibrant, tactile forms. The cutout shapes and scanned textures became the foundation for the visual identity and collaterals.

The collaterals included website graphics, week-wise brochures for 32 workshops, merchandise such as tote bags, T-shirts, and pouches, along with navigation graphics across campuses. The cohesive visual system was carried through to production, bringing the new identity to life across digital and physical touchpoints.
