Dwell on Design ended on a high note last weekend with the ‘Designing Brand Identity from Scratch’ panel. The speaking sessions have definitely become a highlight of the conference. Dwell has done a great job of bringing together thought leaders & design experts to discuss topics relevant to show goers.
The panel consisted of Alec Donovan—Director at Bruce Mau Design, Jonathan Lo—Principal at J3 Productions, and David Galullo—Rapt Studio CEO & Executive Creative Director. It was moderated by Aileen Kwun—Senior Editor at Dwell Magazine.
Each panelist started the discussion with a background of their company, then followed that with work samples, walking everyone through a branding project. The topics ranged from what to look for in a strong brand to how to identify if a client is or isn’t the right fit. Though each case is different, all of the panelists agreed that branding is less about a tag line and more about the core of the company. Finding out why you matter to the world is more important than any logo.
