People Will Stutter
Art Direction
Brand Identity
Breaking down the design assets starting with the wordmark, I chose the phrase people who stutter and flipped it to people will stutter. By taking ownership of the stutter this allows more confidence and comfortability while simultaneously softening the severity to other humans. The asterisk icon represents the individual stutterer. Similar to a person who stutters, an asterisk echoes a greater depth of knowledge, people just need to take the time to listen and understand. You can also see an abstracted mouth when two asterisks come together. The branding is direct and concise. It accounts for what is absent in a person with a stutter. The typography and color are refined and beautiful symbolizing the individual. Finally the illustration style adds a nice contrast from the type emphasizing the humility of the person who stutters.
