Marketing Design
June 14, 2023

Project Brief

SafeSight, a small tech company that specializes in commercial trucking safety solutions, has hired you to develop a new brand identity and sales deck for their flagship product: TruckEye, a mountable LiDAR system. As the brand designer, your task is to create a new logo, color scheme, and basic brand styling that will represent SafeSight's innovative technology and commitment to safety.

The primary objective is for you to develop a brand identity that will resonate with SafeSight's target audience and effectively communicate the value of their technology. This is particularly important as SafeSight's target audience is individual truck drivers, many of whom are contractors and own their own vehicles. The brand identity and sales deck will need to be designed to appeal to a diverse range of individuals, while still conveying a sense of professionalism and reliability.

One of the biggest challenges that SafeSight faces is communicating the value of their technology to individual truck drivers. The marketing director has expressed that the biggest hurdle is the ability to visualize how the technology works. To address this challenge, visualizations of the product and how it works will be created and included in a sales deck. These visualizations will be designed to clearly show how TruckEye can help prevent crashes and improve overall safety on the road. They will be visually engaging, easy to understand and access, and will be tailored to your needs and preferences as SafeSight's target audience.

The goal is for you to develop a brand identity that is modern, innovative, and professional, while still being approachable and relatable to truck drivers. A color scheme that is bold and attention-grabbing, while still conveying a sense of safety and reliability will be used. The brand styling will be designed to be easily recognizable and memorable. The aim is for you to create a brand identity that will help SafeSight stand out in a crowded market and effectively communicate the value of their technology.

Target Audience

Commercial Truck Drivers
Description:
SafeSight's target audience consists of commercial truck drivers, many of whom are contractors and own their own vehicles. This is a critical differentiator from typical truck drivers, as they are free agents and can haul for any company they prefer. This presents a key opportunity for SafeSight, which is primarily interested in preventing roadway accidents as much as the drivers themselves are.

Working with Logos

Whether your tasked with creating a new logo or refining an existing logo, here are a few things to remember:

  • Understand the brand: A logo should accurately represent the brand and its values. Before creating or refining a logo, take the time to understand the brand, its target audience, and its values.
  • Keep it simple and timeless: A good logo should be simple, easy to recognize, and timeless. Avoid complex designs and trendy elements that may quickly become outdated.
  • Consider scalability and versatility: Your logo should be easily scalable, meaning it can be resized without losing its quality or legibility. It should also be versatile enough to be used across different mediums, from business cards to billboards.

If you're working on a lock-up with another company's logo, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Keep the balance: A lock-up is a combination of two logos used together in a design. When doing a lock-up with another company's logo, make sure the design is balanced and visually appealing. Avoid overpowering one logo with the other.
  • Maintain brand consistency: A lock-up should maintain the brand identity of both companies. Make sure the colors, fonts, and overall design of the lock-up aligns with both companies' brand guidelines.
  • Consider the target audience: The lock-up should be tailored to the target audience of both companies. Make sure the lock-up resonates with the audience and conveys the intended message.
Designing Slide Decks
  1. Know your audience: Understand who your audience is, what their needs and pain points are, and what kind of information they're looking for. Tailor your messaging and design to their specific needs and interests.
  2. Keep it simple and concise: Your sales deck should be easy to understand and to the point. Avoid cluttering your slides with too much text or unnecessary graphics. Use visuals and diagrams to help explain complex concepts.
  3. Use a consistent design: Use a consistent color palette, font, and layout throughout your sales deck to create a professional and polished look. A consistent design can also help reinforce your brand identity and make it easier for your audience to follow along.
  4. End with a clear call to action: Make sure you have a clear call to action at the end of your sales deck, such as a request for a meeting or a trial. Provide contact information so your audience can easily get in touch with you.
Working with Social Media Platforms

Whether it's a post's graphic or on-platform ads, there are several factors to consider in order to make a big impact:

  • Consider the platform's UI: Every social media platform has its own unique design, so it's important to consider how this might impact your graphic design.
  • Confirm the platform's image specs: Always confirm the platforms you'll be using and verify their preferred image specifications. This will ensure that your graphics are optimized for each platform and will look their best.
  • Consider the caption: Think about what will be said in the caption to avoid repeating the same words in your graphic. The graphic and caption should work together to deliver a cohesive and impactful message.
  • Include brand information: Always include brand information, such as your logo or company name, in your graphics in case they end up leaving the platform. This will help ensure that your brand is still recognizable even if the graphic is shared elsewhere.
  • Be exploratory: Social media is an ever-changing and unpredictable landscape, so don't be afraid to try new or bold ideas for your graphics. This can help your company stand out and make a lasting impression on your audience.
