Background
Peter Schwartz is a life coach, hypnotherapist, and master trainer who founded My Highest Potential—a company providing coaching and training services for emotional resourcing, behavioral change, and high performance. His services are utilized by corporations, mental health facilities, and professional athletes, all seeking powerful and immediate transformation.
Peter’s background in business consulting, leadership, coaching, and mental health uniquely positions him to help individuals and groups achieve measurable growth.
Phase 1: Personal Branding
When Peter first reached out, his immediate need was a personal business card that would represent him as a professional life coach and hypnotherapist.
Design Approach:
- Minimalist Aesthetic: Clean typography with strong contrasts for a modern, professional look.
- Focus on Information: His name, contact details, and role were clearly prioritized to ensure legibility.
- Dual-Sided Design: A white front side with bold contact information and a black back side with a simple tagline, reinforcing his credibility and sophistication.
Outcome:
Peter was extremely pleased with the design, noting that it provided a professional yet approachable first impression when networking with clients and organizations.
Phase 2: Company Branding
After the success of the business cards, Peter returned to commission a company logo and broader brand identity for My Highest Potential. He wanted the visual identity to capture the essence of his work in hypnosis, mindset transformation, and personal growth.
Design Goals:
- Incorporate cerebral and mind-related elements to reflect his focus on hypnosis and mindset change.
- Ensure the logo conveys growth, clarity, and transformation.
- Create a versatile system that works across digital, print, and promotional platforms.
Art Direction & Execution:
- Primary Logo: A mark inspired by cerebral imagery, balancing abstract design with clarity and professionalism.
- Typography: Selected Arkibal—a modern typeface with clean lines and strong legibility (as detailed in the style board).
- Logo Variations: Created compact and alternate logos for flexible use, including digital icons and favicons.
Color Palette:
- Accent 1 (Deep Blue): HEX #0033b7 – symbolizes clarity, trust, and depth.
- Accent 2 (Light Blue): HEX #006db7 – represents growth, transformation, and energy.
- Secondary (Charcoal): HEX #1a1a1a – provides a professional, grounded base.
- Accent (Black): HEX #080909 – adds contrast and strength.
- Gradient: Used sparingly for digital effects to add vibrancy and depth.
