Combined style and restraint
DESCRIPTION
о проекте
The Casting Directors Guild is an association that sets and supports the standards of the casting director profession in Russia. The Guild creates a professional community of colleagues, together with whom it aims to develop and strengthen its position in the film industry. Proper positioning and  support in the form of an understandable and  recognizable corporate identity is the key to success in achieving the goals of the Guild.
проблема & задачи
We had to completely update the corporate identity of the GKD.
What is important:
1) taking into account the wishes of the client, create a modern look for the Guild;
2) to develop a corporate identity that would correspond to the serious specifics of the organization's activities.
цель
Create a corporate identity that is relevant to both the client's needs and his target audience, and correlates with the field of activity. To make the visual language of the GCD meaningful and recognizable.
результат
The client was satisfied with how the studio coped with the tasks set.
A logo that reflects the dynamics and development
visual system
We tried to create a logo that was as accessible as possible, while telling a fascinating story about the organization, its philosophy and goals.The   based on the   corporate graphics and  pattern   are stars formed from  parts of the logo. In this way, the unity of geometry and lines of the GCD visual system is maintained. Metaphorically, the stars convey the idea of finding and realizing talents#This is one of the missions of the casting director, a member of the GCD. Despite the simplicity of the star element, many different patterns can be made from it, giving the bearers of the corporate identity uniqueness.
VARIANTS
The Archer is a sign endowed with charisma and leadership traits. He looks ahead, clearly sees and is aware of his goal and confidently directs his keen gaze towards it. In this case, the man is aiming at the star— like a casting director, who must find talents and the brightest "stars" among the many candidates. In addition, the connection with the stars refers to the high goals set by the Guild as an organization and the professional community
The sign is a schematic representation of a person speaking into a megaphone, a professional attribute of film industry figures in general, and casting directors in particular. This image also refers to the Guild's mission to spread knowledge about the organization and profession. The brand name can also be considered as the letter "G", an integral part of the logo after romanization (GCD, where G = Guild).
FINAL LOGOTYPE VERSION
The sign represents the letter "K", which is stylized as a schematic image of a man carrying a piece of a puzzle.
The sign symbolizes a Guild member: 1) as a member of the professional community who spreads the ideas and principles of the organization; 2) as a figure (casting director) who finds the missing details, completing the overall picture.
The puzzle is an iconic element of the Guild, as it is associated with the annual Award held by the association.
Знак символизирует участника Гильдии: 1) как члена профессионального сообщества, который распространяет идеи и принципы организации; 2) как деятеля (кастинг-директора), который находит недостающие детали, завершая общую картину.
Пазл — это знаковый элемент Гильдии, так как он ассоциируется с ежегодной Премией, проводимой ассоциацией.
