The Logo
I chose a rounded, friendly sans-serif font with curved edges for the logo to convey a sense of approachability and warmth, which are key attributes for a Montessori toy brand. Additionally, I created a character named Dr. Montess to incorporate into the logo. The client requested that the character hasĀ a look reminiscent of a manga-style character, which adds an element of fun and creativity. This playful yet educational character fits well with the Montessori philosophy, which emphasizes engaging, child-centered learning experiences. By combining these elements, the logo effectively captures the essence of a Montessori toy brand, making it inviting and appealing to both children and parents.
For the colour palette, I selected Imperial Red, White, Pastel Orange, Sunset Orange, Sandy Tan, and Clover Green. Imperial Red and Sunset Orange bring energy and warmth, while White ensures a clean, simple look. Pastel Orange and Sandy Tan create a balanced, welcoming feel. Clover Green adds a natural, calming touch. This combination creates a harmonious and engaging identity, ideal for a Montessori toy brand.
