Logo misuse

After hours:

After hours represents our agencies aproach towards creativity. We believe that there is no such think as working from 8 to 5. We believe in no boundries, open space in time for creativity. We believe that if you have a creative mind, you can't turn it off when time comes, you think, develop and create in every step of the way.

We believe in self discipline and personal development. We believe in others. We believe that we can go further and we can achieve more when we keep aiming for it. We believe in team work and transparency. We believe in creativity. We believe in making things happen, not talking about them.

Secondary considerations

Straight from the start I wanted to use some clever interpretation of a clock symbol. I have started playing with the traditional mechanical clock, but later on as it is a digital company, I have decided to go with a digital clock interpretation.

04

Final logo. Black & White

Idea behind the final logo version is using digital clock frame element, having logo name in the middle as the time measurement and having a cleaver detail in the top right corner, double stating with the PM symbol that we are talking about after hours.

Color considerations

06 Gradients There could only be two types of gradients.

Both should be constructed with analog colours.

Primary colors Company has 4 primary colors. Logo preferably should be used on solid color, but if combined with gradient, it should be only stated gradients.

06

Color considerations Picked colors represent colors after dark. Delicate solid tones with blue skyline adding a bit of a dramatic look with the evening sun tone.

07

Background usage If logo is ussed on the images, images have to be toned down using primary colors with opacity. White logo only without any background should be used in this case.
