Reimagining Brand Identity with Catalogs

The Child’s World is a family-owned publisher of educational books for schools and libraries. One of their tools for communicating their book sales is through catalogs, and to align with a more modern, lively look and feel, their team came to ArtVersion to modernize their catalog design and structure. ArtVersion’s design team curated a fresh structure that prioritized the information hierarchy through charts and tables such as book ISBNs, order numbers, titles, and more. Each book was also showcased within the catalog accompanied by QR codes for quick and easy shopping access. The outcome was a polished and contemporary catalog that prioritized readability and structure.

Logo Redesign 

As part of the initiative, The Child’s World team wanted to also refresh their logo and integrate it into the new catalog design.

Their team envisioned incorporating a balloon motif but entrusted ArtVersion to create an official and unique logo. ArtVersion designed and developed different logo concepts to showcase to their team, before landing on the design that depicted a globe as the balloon itself. This idea sprouted from the idea of evoking that education and books have the power to change the world. The balloon motif tied into this idea as well as a youthful metaphor, but also adhered to their team’s vision. With a logo in place, ArtVersion optimized it best for digital and print mediums.
