The HOUND
Elevate your style, embrace your dominance
Empowering men through sophisticated grooming and fashion
THE BRIEF

The Hound, where grooming meets sustainability in a symphony of masculinity and style. They aren’t just a barber shop; but a community. The Hound is a fusion of artistry and environmental consciousness, offering men a sanctuary where they can indulge in self-care without compromise. Their minimalist yet dominant design, reflects their commitment to both creativity and sustainability.

THE CHALLENGE

Crafting an identity for The Hound was a unique challenge, in which we had to capture the essence of masculinity and artistry in a single unit. The logo we were tasked in creating had to be more than just a visual representation but an embodiment of The Hound’s values and resonate with their male audience.

MIND MAPPING

Logo design mind mapping is a brainstorming technique that involves creating a visual diagram or "mind map" to organize and explore different ideas, concepts, and elements related to the design of a logo. It helps designers to generate and organize their thoughts, identify patterns, and make connections between different elements, which can ultimately inform the development of a successful logo design. Mind mapping for logo design may include elements such as color, typography, iconography, brand values, and target audience.

Logo & Icon
The logo introduced is a symbol of the brand’s essence. We’ve incorporated the “hound’s” head into the name to create representation to the store’s masculinity. Even the elements and icons presented showcase numerous lines reflecting that The hound is beyond a mere barber shop but a vibrant hub for men.
