The making of the Mettle logo

Overview• Process

Client: In 2014 together with a friend I started a company producing suitcase covers. We were the first in Russia to offer this kind of products. In three years we were able to bring reach a considerable audience. We would have continued expanding, but it didn’t work out (the “friend” and I had a fallout and all I was left with was some money to produce the first batch and the experience).

Preferences:
Brand name: Mettle.
Website: www.mettle.ru (being developed).
Target audience: 18–45 years old.
80% female, 20% male.
Good quality at an affordable price.
