Branding Process
Creating a logo for a brand like Creatinfinity requires a unique approach that goes beyond the standard branding process. To meet the brand’s specific needs, I adopted a tailored method that involved several key stages. First, I focused on understanding Creatinfinity’s vision and core values. Next, I conducted in-depth research and gathered design inspiration to align with the brand’s creative spirit. I then sketched initial concepts, explored color schemes and typography, and engaged with the client to ensure the design aligned with their brand identity. This collaborative process ensured that the final logo captured Creatinfinity’s essence before its delivery.
1. Understanding Vision
The goal of the Creatinfinity logo was to reflect the brand’s core values: fun, ease of use, and boundless creativity. As part of Cricut’s ecosystem, Creatinfinity empowers users to create personalized items for any occasion, so the logo had to evoke a sense of endless possibilities and joyful crafting. I started with a comprehensive briefing session with the stakeholders to understand the platform’s target audience, creative philosophy, and desired brand personality.

2. Research & Inspiration
I researched the crafting and DIY industry, analyzing design trends that appeal to Cricut’s creative audience. This research included looking at symbols, color palettes, and typography associated with creativity, personalization, and ease of use. Additionally, I explored how other creative platforms visually represent their brand identity, identifying opportunities to make Creatinfinity stand out as both fun and innovative.
3. Sketching Initial Concepts
Based on the research, I began sketching various logo ideas, focusing on the key themes of infinity, creativity, and playfulness. I experimented with integrating the infinity symbol, which represents endless creative potential, and elements that evoke the crafting process, like scissors, patterns, or cutting paths. These early sketches were aimed at visually communicating the platform’s simplicity and versatility.
4. Digital Explorations & Refinement
After refining the best sketches, I transitioned to digital design. I tested multiple iterations in Figma, focusing on creating a smooth and flowing logo that balanced simplicity with visual interest. I experimented with different combinations of symbols, typography, and colors, ensuring that the design would appeal to users looking for a fun, approachable, and empowering tool. Special attention was given to scalability, ensuring the logo worked well on both digital and physical mediums.
5. Typography & Color Selection
The choice of typography was crucial in conveying the “easy-to-learn” aspect of Creatinfinity. I selected a modern, friendly sans-serif font that was easy to read while still feeling playful. For the color palette, I focused on vibrant, energetic colors that spark creativity, with gradient effects representing the journey from a blank canvas to a fully realized creative project.
After extensive discussions, the client and I chose this version of the logo, as they preferred a light-themed design to convey positivity. They specifically wanted to avoid dark colors. This logo effectively evokes emotions like happiness, fun, and creativity, aligning perfectly with the brand’s identity. After considering these elements, we confidently decided to move forward with this design.

Each layer reflects the endless possibilities of using paper to create unique artworks, emphasizing the brand’s focus on limitless imagination and the transformative power of creativity. It’s a celebration of artistic expression.
Typography Used in this Logo
I chose the “Atma” font, available on Google Fonts, for its clean lines, geometric shapes, and high legibility. Its fun and playful feel aligns with the project’s theme. Atma’s versatility and modern aesthetic make it perfect for conveying clarity and simplicity, enhancing the overall design for both digital and print media.

6. Client Presentation & Feedback
I presented the refined logo concepts to stakeholders, each accompanied by a detailed explanation of the design rationale. Feedback highlighted the importance of ensuring the logo was dynamic yet clean, representing fun without overwhelming the viewer. I refined the design based on their input, simplifying some elements.
