Venice Apparel, a fashion wholesaler based in Los Angeles targeting young skaters, needed a brand identity that focuses on striking a balance between edgy and versatile. Venice Apparel asked that the brand appeals to both skate shops and outdoor retailers by using their muted color palette—think soft earth tones, desaturated photography, and forest greens—offering a contrast to the more vibrant hues of competitors. The iconography should embody adventure, bravery, and movement, reflecting the brand’s connection to the skateboarding lifestyle and the outdoors. A minimalist emblem inspired by the letters 'V' and 'A', will symbolize momentum and exploration, reinforcing the brand’s narrative of boldness and freedom. Clean, simple typography paired with the icon will help ensure the design is modern and adaptable across various mediums, from retail tags to digital platforms.
