Collective Tattoo and Gallery maintains and improves its overall goal of inspiring, innovating and captivating its clients and community while bringing appreciation and inspiration to the arts, including tattoo’s. We focused on updating their brand identity and making it more cohesive. The goal was to revise their existing brand identity to adhere with the target audience. Their studio will strengthen and continue to be an innovative and
inspiring place where the general public has the opportunity to participate in the arts. The identity is still edgy, yet more modern in its approach to appeal to a wide variety of people.

logo misuse; background do’s + don’ts
it is important that collective tattoo + gallery’s logo is a consistent
mark at all times. the following examples are what NOT to do with the
logo when placing the logo onto a variety of materials + backgrounds.
designers are expected to keep the logotype consistent. please refer
to the contact page if any questions should arise about the usage of
the logo when placed on a particular background.
the logotype should not be placed upon a background that has similar
tonal values +/or hue of that particular logo. if the logo is similar in
tone to the background +/or if the logo is placed upon a busy, overly
contrasted background, the logo will not be readable and therefore,
will fail. please review the misused variations, shown at left, for exam-
ples of how not to use the vertical logotype on busy background +/or
incorrect color combinations.

the primary logo should print with pantone black c along with another
plate run of 100 k (black) over top to give it a rich black appearance, if
the background requires the logo to be reversed white on black, use
the single color white version as shown. pantone #877 c is used when
the logo is being printed on a lighter surface.

the main typeface for collective tattoo + gallery’s body copy is museo
sans 500. body copy should be set in 10pt over 14/leading. the usage
of approved typefaces must be appropriate to layout. museo sans 500
must be used as the body copy typeface in each piece for a consistent
brand presence, however for creative purposes, one can also use
optimus princeps + infrared typefaces if appropriate + approved.
when using optimus princeps +/or infrared, you must use the typeface
sparingly + only in short runs of body + headline copy that consist of no
more than 40 words per body copy + 10–15 words for headlines.
all lowercase or uppercase are accepted. be conscious of readability
of information + hierarchy. make sure the message can be communi-
cated clearly to customers.
