Due to the nature of its service, programming school 'Crack the Code' needs to appeal to consumers on a multi-generational level. As a result, the educational establishment taps Mexico City-based design firm Futura for a branding identity that is eye-catching and inspirational.
The mission was to create a visual language that communicates seriousness in a playful character. One reason is its diverse targeting demographics. That is, the programming school needs to instill an enjoyable learning environment for children and teenagers while establishing trust with the parental units.
To meet these demands, Futura builds two logos — one that is playful and another that is "more corporate and serious."
