Design Brief
Six String Studios is a modern guitar learning platform offering lessons, tools, and resources for modern players of all levels. They needed a fresh look combined with a classic tone that recognises and champions the legacy of the guitar but also showcases the modern guitar landscape. The brand want to excite and inspire learning and growth through their platform. Trust and transparency are therefore a big requirement for the brand.
Result
The classic and modern tones needed in the logo were achieved through a combination of the retro font “Bauhaus 93” alongside the clean sans serif “Montserrat”. Bauhaus 93 is used for "Six String" to convey creativity and approachability, while Montserrat in uppercase for "Studios" adds professionalism and balance. Both of these font weights combined, marry the history of the guitar together with present day styles to appeal to young and old guitarists alike. The icon fuses the recognisable shape of the plectrum with the ‘S’ prevalent in the name to give an identifiable marker for the brand. The vintage red and oranges are both fresh and bright but classic tones, helping to fuse that blend of old and new. Alongside one another, the fonts and icon are a unique blend of the guitar that help Six String Studios stand out in a modern digital landscape. The clean, scalable design represents Six String Studios’ mission to inspire, grow and support guitarists of all abilities.
