    uniE621 Faith-Based Nostalgic Brand Identity – Better Place
    Overview: I developed a playful, faith-rooted brand identity for Better Place, a fictional Christian mental health brand that merges spiritual encouragement with nostalgic visuals. The design celebrates healing, self-worth, and God’s presence—set in a whimsical, retro-inspired visual world. What I Created: • Primary & Secondary Logos with custom floral elements and halo accents • Unique Color Palette featuring pastels and brights for an uplifting tone • Custom Icon Set including sparkles, halos, and character-inspired florals • Typography Pairing: A bold cartoon-style header with a soft handwritten typeface • Mini Moodboard inspired by vintage cartoons, Cuphead, and sticker culture Design Style: Cheerful, bold, and emotionally resonant—this brand system is designed to feel like a hug from heaven with a Gen Z twist.
