intro do projecto

Este projecto foi-nos apresentado como a necessidade de refazer o logotipo da Waterman League e de melhorar a imagem de alguns projectos associados.

Waterman League was set up to represent the complete ocean sports collective, providing a dynamic platform for events, athletes and media alike. The brand’s ethos is to represent a collective of sports that thrive off and are powered by the ocean environment, so are intrinsically connected to this precious resource, thus its responsibility to play its part in protecting it (texto retirado do briefing inicial). 

Os valores fundadores da Waterman League são o Respeito, Versatilidade, Tradição, Inovação e Paixão.

Entendemos que a estes valores devem ser transversais a qualquer projecto relacionado com a empresa-mãe Waterman League: são a nossa âncora, o nosso ponto de partida e compromisso.

projecto editorial

We wanted to emphasise at stand-up as the first sport that really connects different water sports together. We want to embrace different aspects of living and breading the ocean and to connect that with the Waterman League values. So we started with everything except the logo.  

We need to look at something related with Association of Paddlesurf Professionals (APP) and instantly recognise it, no need for closer looks. We started redesigning a presentation and in this piece we have put all  

Na primeira incursão no projecto passou por reformular completamente todo o ambiente gráfico e layout. Definiu-se um estilo, um conjunto de regras, relação entre elementos… quando ao logotipo, nada!

Começamos pelo estilo e pelo conteúdo. Seguramente o logotipo faz parte da equação, mas não é o centro: tem algum protagonismo, mas não é o centro.

CORES

A seleção de cores pastel é uma pedra-de-toque do projeto. Surgindo inspiradas pela ambiência Art Deco que inspira a clínica, mas sobretudo pela sua aura apaziguadora de matizes suaves, as cores pastel surgem pela diluição da saturação através da mistura do branco.

Para além do pastel usamos uma cor tónica metalizado-quente, uma mistura de proporções semelhantes entre cobre e prata. Assim, obtemos um compromisso entre a cor Taupe e uma cor associada à esterilização clínica, dignificada pelas propriedades distintivas dos tons metalizados.

Reminiscentes da luz das paisagens na primavera as cores pastel atraem a nossa atenção pelo efeito calmante que exercem diretamente sobre a nossa retina.

BARLOW 
TYPEFACE
Barlow is a slightly rounded, low-contrast, grotesk type family. Drawing from the visual style of the California public, Barlow shares qualities with the state’s car plates, highway signs, busses, and trains. This is the Normal family, which is part of the superfamily along with Semi Condensed and Condensed, each with 9 weights in Roman and Italic.

All ideas presented, including all related documents remain exclusively the property of kickvoidLoop until the adjudication of the project under a written agreement. Until the project finishes all proposals made are exploratory and subject to alteration. We use several mockups to better suit real application contexts, although be aware the end result may differ from presented images.

We are kickvoidlöopeans

A group of insanely passionate human beings. Together we form a design studio working with different creative fields. Hungry for ideas, we love to create together, using the transformative power of design to simplify communication, elevate experiences and engage people everywhere, anywhere.

Effective design and effective relationships come from one simple concept: collaboration. We truly believe in that and get excited about starting visual dialogues, learning about you and collaboratively making something beautiful. We are illustrators, photographers, copywriters, engineers, programmers and, of course, designers, always creating and re-creating the way people interact.

9 to 5? We don’t buy it. We question established concepts and rules and we work in a decentralized way in order to build the reality we believe in: a better, freer, more inspiring world.

We are a ever-growing network of experts from different creative and technological fields. We are based in Porto, Portugal. We move towards what moves us.

At kickvoidlöop we are a group of people moving around the world and hopefully moving the world!
