Logos for REAL BUSINESSES : Love how cute that LOOK logo is and how the two Os create glasses? Or how that FISHHOUSE logo is clever and uses negative space to form a fish and a house? ... So awesome right?! Of course it’s easy to create clever and minimalist logos from single word items that actually mean something like But your business name is complex, or your name or has a lot of words to it. That my friend is the true challenge. We all want clever, cute and fun and also have 5 words in our registered biz name. That’s where I accept that challenge and create REAL LOGOS for REAL humans, with long ass, complicated business names, and still make them look like gold! We simplify your name, place emphasis where needed and make it all flow. Want your long ass business name to appear, clean professional with a touch of personality? Then DM me to get this conversation started and see what magic we can create together! PS I CAN ALSO DO CLEVER AND MINIMALISTIC TOO, and thoroughly enjoy those challenges! Bring 'EM!

TO NICHE or NOT TO NICHE? Your niche will be fluid, changing and adapting to every stage you are at in your business. When first starting out we test the waters and explore, casting our net out wider.... Through time we will learn our strengths and also learn who our favourite types of people are that we enjoy working with most. At this point we can now narrow down our focus. When you have your data gathered you can strategically choose to niche down, further and further. In turn it allows your message to become more clear. Who you serve and how you serve them, becomes very evident for all to see. Making it easier for you to speak directly to your audience and for your audience to find you and hire you. Need more help isolating your niche? DM me. My inbox is always open to help. I am happy to dive deeper into your niche and why it's super important to narrow down your focus to create easier success in your business. Tell me what your hesitations are, and I will tell you if they are valid or not! #brandingstrategy #brandstrategist #brandstrategytips #brandalignment #branddeveloper#femalebusinessowner #beingboss #hersuccess #logodesigner #femaleceo #womanwhoinspire #femaleentrepreneurs #fempreneurs #womenwholead #brandingdesigner #brandinginspiration #brandalignment #logodesigners #brandexpert #growyourbrand #brandingspecialist #brandingbabe #branding101 by @platusicdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/COvUvu0jVJe/

B A C K B U R N E R : The back burner known as the place where you put things that you don’t want to do right away. Or if you feel like they aren't too urgent or pressing.

Designer Tip : Don’t place text on angles, it literally hardly EVER LOOKS GOOD... It takes a strategic approach and needs to serve a purpose to be effective. But that’s rare.... I even tried to utilize angled text here on this post graphic to prove my point, and I couldn’t let myself do it. I just couldn’t. So please don’t either ;) Thanks!! #brandingstrategy #femalebusinessowner #beingboss #hersuccess #logodesigner #femaleceo #womanwhoinspire #femaleentrepreneurs #fempreneurs #womenwholead #brandingdesigner #brandinginspiration #brandalignment #logodesigners #brandstrategist #brandexpert #growyourbrand #brandingspecialist #brandingbabe #branding101 See more

YOU'VE ENLIGHTENED ME : A common statement that is said on my FREE BRAND STRATEGY CALLS. When potential clients hop on a strategy call with me, they are coming from a place of knowing there is something more available for their business, and are ready to get to that next level but most often times feel STUCK on where to begin.... We uncover a lot of mind drama, and a lot of confusion blocks as to what the next steps should be when getting your business NEXT LEVEL READY. My go to answer is always this... just begin. If you don't start the process you will forever be caught in limbo, trying to do #allthethings by yourself, and simply getting by. You've been at this game for a while now, you are tired of just getting by, you a READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT. I love uncovering those barriers, and removing them from my clients way so they can move forward with their business. Isolating your target audience, determining your future business goals, scoping out the competition, figuring out your brand messaging, are all barriers we overcome, not to mention crafting a gorgeous logo and brand. REBRANDING doesn't have to be hard or daunting. It can be fun and simple. With the right guidance we can prepare you for all the levelling up challenges that you may face, by building up the foundation of your business FIRST. Your branding is definitely one of those core pieces that is best taken care of sooner, rather than later. It makes everything moving forward so much easier. Want to uncover your NEXT LEVEL AH-HA moment together? Let's hop on a FREE BRAND STRATEGY CALL and get started. You can book that call here... https://calendly.com/platus/discoverycall Image shown : CUSTOM LOGO ICON FOR MY WELLNESS CLIENT See more

T R E N D S : Is your brand designed based on trends? Don’t get me wrong as a designer you need to be aware of all the trends and keep up-to-date with the current times. But as a brand strategist you also need to learn how to create and implement a brand that will remain timeless. I do love all the neutral tones that have been stealing the stage for the past months, those coffee and cream tones with minimalist linear sketches definitely ar...e gorgeous. But what happens when then trend changes?...(hint it is already starting too ;) Will your cafe latte brand survive? This is why it is important to base brands off of their own uniqueness, by selecting colour palettes and fonts that are relevant to their industry and that can withstand the hands of time. If you are caught with a trendy brand it’s ok we can fix that. We can pump pure authentic personality and life back into it so it can survive for many years to come. Let’s get your brand long-lasting ready. I have 2 BRANDING SPOTS remaining for 2020 who wants to steal it? I'm offering FREE BRAND STRATEGY CALLS for established entrepreneurs that are looking to Re-brand. Claim your spot now!

A great brand is a story that is never completely told. What does this statement mean to you in your own words? Would love to hear your perspectives, share them below... I’ll share my interpretation in the comments as well.

HAPPY FRIDAY ! Hey there, I’m Maria, Owner Creative Director behind Platusic Design Creative Studio. Simply wanted to give a brief shout out to all the new and old followers. ... Thanks for joining me in my lil’ corner of the internet. My passion is developing strong brand strategies and gorgeous brands that my clients love, and that continue to attract their target audience for years to come. When I’m not designing/creating I’m #ubering my trio from dance to soccer to music. I also love yoga and need to incorporate it more into my life. I have recently be doing Pilates workouts 3Xs a week!! hopefully I keep this momentum going Tell me a bit about you and your business in the comments below... #happyfriday #fridayintros #happyhalloween See more

D E S I G N Q U I C K T I P : W H I T E S P A C E is real, you can’t see it but it’s there, it’s like a breath of fresh air - Maria Platusic WHITE SPACE is such an important + fundamental design element. When you crowd text, or get it too close to the edge of the page it can feel overbearing to the viewer. Allowing for some breathing room creates an inviting atmosphere and keeps the eyes reading a bit longer. #brandingstrategy #femal...ebusinessowner #whitespace #beingboss #hersuccess #logodesigner #femaleceo #womanwhoinspire #femaleentrepreneurs #fempreneurs #womenwholead #brandingdesigner #brandinginspiration #brandalignment #logodesigners #brandstrategist #brandexpert #growyourbrand #brandingspecialist #brandingbabe #branding101 See more
