Personal Brand Style
Matina Design

Choosing the right colors is crucial, as color affects 85% of users. For my primary color palette, I chose orange for its vibrancy, fun, and ability to communicate energy and activity; light green for its association with growth, vitality, and renewal; and blue for inspiration and unique ideas.

My design style is known for its bold typography, striking color combinations, and clean, modern layouts.

I took my time to carefully select the perfect fonts for my brand. I chose "Bree" for its artistic appearance and "Futura" for its clean and easy-to-read qualities. I am delighted with the final result

Matina Design is the name of my brand, and its logo is inspired by my childhood. During those early years, creativity and imagination were abundant, and self-judgment was non-existent. Back then, my brother struggled to pronounce my name correctly, so he affectionately called me "Matina."

My goal was to create a logo that reflects my brand's playful and unique identity and would leave a lasting impression on anyone who sees it. To achieve this, I incorporated distinctive visual elements that convey a sense of timeliness, comfort, punctuality, precision, adaptability, and freshness. These elements include a sun representing the morning, a cloud symbolizing comfort, clock hands signifying punctuality, an arrow representing precision, a leaf representing adaptability, and the letter M that references my name, Matina, and “matinal/matinale” (Spanish/Italian for the freshness associated with early mornings).
