MARG

This project involved creating an identity design for MARG (Memory Anxiety Research Group), a research group dedicated to studying memory and anxiety. The aim was to develop a visual identity that conveys the group's focus on cognitive research while being approachable and modern. The branding needed to reflect the group’s scientific yet human-centric approach to research.

Design Approach:
The design process began with a deep dive into MARG's mission and objectives. We aimed to create a logo and visual identity that would encapsulate the complexities of memory and anxiety research in a clear and engaging way. The design had to be versatile for use across various platforms, including research publications, digital media, and stationery.

Logo Design:

  • Concept: The logo was designed using a combination of abstract shapes and symbols that represent key aspects of memory and anxiety. Each element within the logo—waves, circles, and lines—symbolizes different facets of cognitive processes, with a cohesive arrangement reflecting the group's holistic research approach.

  • Color Palette: A vibrant color scheme was selected to convey energy and curiosity while maintaining a sense of professionalism. The palette includes shades of blue, orange, green, and red, representing various dimensions of memory and emotion.

  • Typography: A clean and modern sans-serif typeface was chosen for the MARG wordmark, ensuring readability and a contemporary look. The typography complements the abstract nature of the logo, adding to the identity’s clarity and impact.

Branding Elements:

  • Logo Variations: Multiple logo versions were created for different backgrounds (color and monochrome versions) to ensure adaptability across various media.

  • Stationery Design: Custom stationery, including business cards, letterheads, and envelopes, was designed to create a cohesive visual identity for MARG. The branding elements were applied subtly to convey professionalism while maintaining visual interest.

  • Digital Presence: Social media and digital templates were designed to reinforce MARG's brand identity online, ensuring consistency in communication.

  • Brand Guidelines: A comprehensive set of brand guidelines was developed to guide the use of logo variations, color palette, typography, and other branding elements, maintaining uniformity across all touchpoints.

Impact:
The identity design for MARG has given the research group a distinct and professional visual presence. The new branding effectively communicates the group's focus on memory and anxiety research while being approachable and modern. This cohesive visual identity aids MARG in building credibility and recognition within the scientific community and among the public, enhancing their outreach and engagement efforts.
