    i really enjoy these videos! You typically show a clean minimalistic style with a hint of vintage, so something completely the opposite would be really fun! Especially for brands that are simple minimalistic to begin with (e.g. turning glossier logo into kat von d style but somehow keeping the fluid dewy feel)

    • @pureorangeness
      @pureorangeness 2 года назад

      I know it’s a year later and no one cares but RGB is the colour mode used for screens and CMYK is used for printing. Problem is, CMYK has a lower gamut than RGB (basically you can’t make as many colours in CMYK), so if you’re designing something for cross media (like branding and logos, which you would want to be the same colour in person and online) you should stick within the CMYK gamut for your design.
      Kel wanted a brighter colour than what was available in CMYK so they switched to RGB, even though they wouldn’t be able to print something out that was the same colour. It doesn’t matter AT ALL for a fun little branding assignment like this which makes it funnier that they called it out in the first place

    The actual Buffalo logo looks so 90s
    That said, personally I'm impartial to it. The different fonts and weights in the letters work in the context of a thrift shop logo. But I also like how your redesign maintains that sort of jumbled vibe and makes it consistent too. Unless it's all black.
