PROJECT SCOPE 360
Brand Identity Design, Brand Guidelines & Website Development
Project Type: Brand Strategy, Identity Design, Web Design
Timeline: 5 Weeks
Location: Ontario, Canada
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Scope 360 is a project management training and consulting firm that needed a complete brand transformation to compete in the competitive PMP certification market. This project unified brand strategy, visual identity design, comprehensive guidelines, and conversion-optimized web development into a cohesive system that positions the brand as both a credible educator and a lifelong professional partner.
BRAND STRATEGY
The Challenge
The project management certification space is dominated by institutional players with cold, corporate visual languages. Project Scope 360's core differentiator—their 360° support model from initial interest through certification to career advancement—needed to be embedded into every brand touchpoint.
Strategic Positioning
Brand Concept: "Full Circle Project Solutions"
The positioning centers on comprehensive, human-centered support that transcends traditional training boundaries. Unlike competitors who end at course completion, Project Scope 360 partners with clients throughout their entire professional journey.
Positioning Triad:
Expertise – Professional credibility through PMI certification and proven methodologies
Partnership – Human connection and ongoing support beyond the classroom
Results – 100% success rate backed by structured accountability
Market Position
Premium-accessible: High-quality training without institutional rigidity. The brand needed to communicate professional authority while remaining warm and approachable—a sophisticated balance that informed every design decision.
Brand Personality Dimensions:
Formal yet approachable (70/30 lean)
Progressive over traditional (85/15 lean)
Balanced accessible-serious (55/45)
Simple over complex (60/40 lean)
This dimensional positioning prevents the brand from feeling one-dimensional while maintaining consistency across applications.
LOGO & IDENTITY DESIGN
Mark Construction & Symbolism
The Project Scope 360 logo is strategic symbolism executed with geometric precision.
The Circular Framework:
The dominant circular element isn't decorative—it's a direct visualization of the "360" brand promise. The circle represents completeness, cyclical support, and comprehensive coverage. Segmented sections within the circle symbolize:
Structured phases of project management
Multiple touchpoints in the client journey
Integration of training, consulting, and support services
Geometric Precision:
Sharp angles and clean intersections within the circular frame communicate the structure, clarity, and precision essential to project management discipline. The geometric language balances:
Professional authority (sharp, defined edges)
Approachability (circular, continuous flow)
Systematic thinking (organized segments)
Wordmark Treatment:
The typography uses Classic Sans—a contemporary sans-serif that bridges corporate authority with modern accessibility. The "360" receives distinctive emphasis through color contrast and spatial separation, ensuring the brand promise is immediately recognizable.
Logo System Versatility
Three core configurations ensure brand consistency across all touchpoints:
Landscape Logo – Primary application for websites, presentations, documents
Portrait Logo – Optimized for vertical formats, social media, print materials
Icon Mark – Simplified circular element for app icons, favicons, profile images
This systematic approach maintains legibility and impact at all scales, from business cards to billboards.
Color Palette: Strategic Psychology
Each color serves distinct strategic and psychological functions:
Deep Navy Blue (#16122F) – Brand anchor
Communicates professional authority, expertise depth, and trustworthy stability. Navy grounds the brand in credibility without corporate coldness.
Vibrant Blue (#353DAA) – Energy and clarity
Introduces forward momentum, innovation, and precision. Differentiates from institutional competitors.
Strategic Red (#D62F48) – Action and achievement
Reserved for CTAs, success metrics, and goal-oriented messaging. Creates urgency and drives conversion.
Optimistic Yellow (#FCC721) – Warmth and partnership
Brings human connection, learning energy, and accessibility. Prevents over-corporate perception.
Accent Pink (#D91F74) – Modern differentiation
Adds unexpected sophistication and creative problem-solving energy. Breaks institutional conventions.
Neutral System – Hierarchy and structure
Six neutral values (
#000000 to #F2F2F2) provide content hierarchy and ensure information clarity across complex educational materials.The guidelines specify exact tint variations (100%, 80%, 60%) for each primary color, ensuring consistent visual hierarchy and WCAG-compliant accessibility.
Typography: Single-Family Sophistication
Classic Sans Family
Rather than multiple typefaces, the single-family approach creates sophisticated consistency:
Bold weights for confident headers
Regular weights for readable body text
Medium weights for balanced UI elements
Classic Sans occupies the strategic intersection of contemporary, professional, and accessible—avoiding both academic stuffiness and tech startup casualness.
Imagery Direction
Photography Style: Human-centric, bold, corporate-leaning, warm
Execution Principles:
Every image centers actual people (students, professionals, teams)
Professional settings establish credibility (offices, business environments)
Natural lighting and genuine expressions prevent sterility
High contrast and confident compositions convey boldness
This approach ensures imagery supports the brand's dual promise: professional competence and human partnership.

BRAND DESIGN MASTERY
What Makes This Project Exceptional
1. Strategic Foundation

2. Symbolic Depth
The logo isn't decoration; it's visual strategy. The circular framework, geometric segments, and color system all communicate the brand promise of comprehensive support.
3. Systematic Thinking
This is a design system, not a logo package. The identity generates infinite applications while maintaining absolute consistency.
4. Psychological Sophistication

The brand exists in calibrated tension between formal/casual, progressive/established, accessible/serious—avoiding category clichés.
6. Scalable Architecture
The identity works identically well on business cards, billboards, mobile screens, presentations, and social thumbnails.

Brand strategy, visual identity, guidelines, and web design aren't separate deliverables—they're unified expressions of a single brand idea: Full Circle Project Solutions.
