Branding Analysis



Imagery
Color
Typography
To be modern, We'd like to be dark and non-pastel. Pastel is not suit the style of Trails. We want to make Trails with simple color so that it can shoe information more clearly.
​
Sans-serif is better choice, while serif looks more serious. We'd like to combine both thin and Bold Sans-serif into our work.
​
Trails want to express clear and simple style to users, so illustration is not suitable. And illustration style is easy to be personal style. Trails want to be more professional and for all groups of people.
