the logo

The primary logo is made up of playful and irregular letterforms. The rectangle in the middle is a play on a diacritical mark and symbolizes lifting up and supporting your child.

The secondary brand marks abbreviate Small Talk to "ST" and incorporate the same glyph.

Illustration & textures

I created a set of illustrations to be used throughout the brand's marketing materials. The illustration style is whimsical and joyful.

Part of the brand's visual system is a series of colorful textured shapes that represent the building blocks of a child's speech and language development, as well as the connection built between parent and child.
