Camilla, the founder, emphasized that Monarch's brand should appeal to both older, wealthy businessmen & young men/women aspiring to be treated like royalty. The challenge was to create a brand that resonates across two generations.
With a solid strategy, a mood board guided the logo creation process. After three revisions, an approved logo that incorporated the structure of a castle into the initials was achieved, making the process enjoyable.
A detailed guideline and a sleek pattern featuring three custom symbols for Elite, Supreme, and PRO groups were created. The PRO icon was excluded for a more balanced design.
The focus was on creating clean, functional, and attractive stationery that conveys the brand message without sacrificing practicality. The design prioritized problem-solving and functionality over purely artistic elements.
In collaboration with a luxury card maker, three membership cards and their packaging were created. Distinct gradient colors were chosen for each tier in Monarch's membership program: Elite, Supreme, and PRO.

A Collaboration that produced 35% increase in brand awareness.
