    Great British Spiced Chocolate Challenge

    A client with almost no design background came to me with the idea of a chocolate making competition, he needed a logo and various other items creating. We tackled the main logo first, it needed to encompass the British element along with spice and chocolate. The main logo had to be in full color and able to be used in various formats for packaging, social media, event branding such as lanyards and goodie bag products. Social media was a big part of the project particularly to publicize the initial event, a world record chocolate fight in Trafalgar Square. A separate black and white, simplified logo was also needed for printing the t-shirts for the event.
