Brand Identity Development at Prodege
When I joined Prodege, the company and its verticals had a minimal brand identity—consisting only of basic logos and single-font usage per brand. Drawing on the experience I gained at Yahoo! and through various contract roles, I led efforts to elevate and expand the brand presence across all of the verticals.
I introduced cohesive brand systems that included iconographic patterns, refined color palettes, consistent typography, and lifestyle imagery aligned with brand messaging. These enhancements brought clarity, cohesion, and emotional resonance to the company’s visual communications.
In addition, I prioritized inclusive representation in visuals to better reflect the diversity of Prodege's user base. I also collaborated closely with the marketing team to develop and refine copy that strengthened the brand voice and aligned with our creative direction.
