Logo and Visual System Design for

Kodak Rebranding

Project Brief

This is a brand reinvention case study for Kodak rebranding. The goal is to continue the brand with the same brand soul but expand to different business areas, turning Kodak into a new brand.

I explored various methods of research to discover the brand vision, audience, mood and eventually reinvented their brand, giving Kodak a fresh visual identity which follows the brand soul.

Approach & Deliverables

I designed the new brand identity for Kodak and made three books to show the progress of my exploration for the rebranding of Kodak.The books show the color, type system and graphic style for the new Kodak.

Exploration for New Brand

Design Exploration

Kodak has been a brand dedicated to enable people to capture and preserve memories of life. During the visual development process, symbols of memory and longevity were conceptually and visually explored. Through this process the visuals have evolved further into abstraction, taking the shapes of the elephant to evoke the idea of memory and longevity. These ideas were also explored and translated into typography, and expressed in the custom logotype
