01 Brand Workshop
Our on-site workshop laid the framework for the story and helped us better articulate the vision.
The outcome was a brand book blueprint that propelled us through each step of the process. Plus, we worked towards a brand name—something that was easy to type, fun to say, and communicated the brand’s attributes.
We landed on something that truly captured Jordan’s spirited and approachable way of doing business—Good Folk Music Management.
The naming process was more fun than I expected. My clients have responded really well to Good Folk as a brand and I couldn’t be more pleased.
02 Logotype
Goodfolk is based in Nashville with a team in New York. This in mind, we thought it interesting to draw on the contrasting tone of the two cities.
The logotype locks together Helvetica and Georgia combining the efficiency of New York with the artisitic flair of Nashville. A resting note was worked into the k to imply ease of mind for the musician client.
03 Brand Mark
Our brand mark evolved from the brand name and took on a characteristic of their very own.
We began by utilizing a variety of styles in the website, but soon enough the Good Folk peace smiley was our favorite choice for brand merchandise, signage, and beyond.
04 Color
Web Design: We developed a temporary landing page after the business was born, but quickly replaced it with a more dynamic, scalable page that incorporated more brand details and context.
Social Media Design: We developed a library of social media templates to be used to promote Goodfolk client work. The templates fit the visual language developed in the brand book.
Marketing Materials: We created a wide range of merchandise and materials to advertise the brand in a dynamic way. The Goodfolk line continues to grow and impress.
