The project centered on revitalizing the branding for Auto-Wares’ 2022 convention held at the DeVos Conference Center in Grand Rapids. As a major event for the automotive parts distribution company, the convention required a fresh, cohesive brand identity to enhance the attendee experience, promote engagement, and reflect the company's commitment to innovation and excellence.
Objectives
Process:
The project centered on revitalizing Auto-Wares' brand identity to reflect its core values and mission while ensuring consistency across all visual elements. This involved updating the existing logo to maintain brand continuity while infusing it with a modern aesthetic. A new color palette was carefully selected to convey energy, innovation, and professionalism, aligning with the company's forward-thinking approach. Typography was meticulously chosen to complement the updated visual identity, ensuring readability across various materials. Additionally, custom graphics and imagery were created to enhance the visual appeal of the convention space, creating an immersive and engaging environment for attendees.
The results of the project were impactful and far-reaching. The catalog, designed with the refreshed branding, was not only printed but also successfully distributed to thousands of customers and vendors. This widespread dissemination ensured that the new brand identity reached a vast audience, effectively communicating Auto-Wares' values and offerings to potential clients and partners.
Furthermore, the branding developed for the convention was leveraged to create additional promotional materials for the Tech Expo, further extending the reach and impact of the new identity. These materials likely included brochures, banners, digital assets, and promotional items, all designed to align seamlessly with the overarching brand aesthetic and messaging. By consistently applying the new branding across multiple touchpoints, Auto-Wares was able to reinforce its brand presence and create a cohesive brand experience for Expo attendees.
