I would actually have voted for the multi-colors if it wasn't for that dark option that just doesn't look cohesive and throws off the balance of the overall image. I think if the palette is revised, the multi-color has such a fun travel vibe.
I think it works absolutely perfectly as an alternative for black - I can definitely see the inspiration! I just wouldn't have made two not-black (as I always think of these colors in my palettes) icon fill choices amongst this set. It might be interesting if there were a bridge...
The multi-colour version has such a fun summer market feel, really fits the VW wine tour vibe perfectly!
Thanks @Stephanie Asoegwu! It was a fun project to work on and create for!
I will go with Multi Colours
Loving the multi-color option! Such great contrast!
I looove the multicolor!! Love the one color as well but definitely could see this as an alternate set of usage guidelines in the future!
multi coloured variant, its just so fun!
The multi color will be nice since It's a tour icon ... There we be place to celebrate in different colors

Sometimes, some projects are just not meant to be. And that's ok.
I had a blast developing the initial concept for this branding proposal. From 3D, imagery, color combinations, animation... The goal? Create a visual identity that is both versatile and structured, resulting in a brand that is adaptable, yet grounded, and approachable.
Every major format follows a grid system that allows for different interpretations of the same design:
Traditional hierarchy with image and headline? You got it!
Big images with small text? Yes!
Should information take priority over visuals? Sure!
This is a branding case study that the client ultimately did not use. But I'm still proud of the result and the effort that went into it.
