Branding and Website Art Direction for Acquali

Acquali is a startup focused on conversion rate optimization for small business websites. I was hired to brand the new company with a logo and website design.

 
 

Logo Design

These are some early logo sketches where I explored a variety of marks. The business is all about conversion rate optimization so I considered filters, abstract “conversion” ideas, magic wands and arrows.

Final logo: We went with a simple, clean, monoline mark. The client wanted to avoid anything overly-abstract or ambiguous. I used the typeface Mostra Nuova for the name.

Website Design

The client wanted the majority of the content to be placed on the homepage.

I used Sofia Pro as the primary typeface. I like the way the bold type complements the illustrations.
