While designing the Figure 8 logo I realised as I developed that I was unsure about the name. I don’t think it has enough depth or was strong enough to symbolise a big brand for a clothing company and the design is really import to look fashionable for young girls to make it seem more of a popular lifestyle option.

So I rethought the name of the company to have a stronger link to ballet. It was one that i had already came up with on the previous spider diagram.

Which is Attitude this term is used in ballet, to have your leg extended normally derrière (back) at a 145 degree angle.

Outside of ballet terms

attitude

noun

1.A settled way of thinking or feeling about something.

synonyms: point of view, view, viewpoint, vantage point, frame of mind, way of thinking, way of looking at things, school of thought, outlook, angle, slant, perspective, reaction, stance, standpoint, position, inclination, orientation, approach;

a position of the body indicating a particular mental state.

“the boy was standing in an attitude of despair”

position, posture, pose, stance, stand; More

corresponding arm is raised above the head, the other extended to the side.

Started to develop and experiment with the new name is started by trying to include more movement appearance with a hand written A, this look more personal I started searching different fonts and found Avenir next medium, I like the idea of have a very strong looking logo to set it self aside from other company’s. However I tried to design with the ballet terminology of attitude in mind this is how I came up with the letter A logo with and a colour part cut out at a 145 angle. At this point I wanted to create a logo that would attract and entertain older dancers. Therefore I wanted to come away from the soft pink colours so I used a deep red first of all.
