The Underwater Traveler Branding Campaign

Branding, Layout – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign

Overview

The purpose of this project was to develop a brand for an ocean excursion business called The Underwater Traveler (TUT). This business would take passengers on diving, snorkeling, and boating trips to observe large marine life like whales, rays, and sea turtles.

The project involved creating a logo, a stationery set, advertisements, and more.

The aspect of the business that sets it apart from other excursion companies is the focus on larger marine life. Because of this, I used a whale shape in the logo. The whale is paired with a compass since it corresponds to travel.

As an excursion business, customers should feel that The Underwater Traveler is a dependable company that will keep them safe when out on the water. Not only does blue correspond to water, but it also tends to provide a feeling of trust.

Stationery Set

The stationery set consists of a business card, an envelope, and a letterhead.
