MOODBOARD
The moodboard was curated to express the “mood” of the brand and to inspire the visual decisions. The vibe we are going for is science meets connection and magic meets theory. Personal relationships are a focus in our imagery to “warm up” the aesthetic.

POSITION
CORE IDEA Through Facial Intelligence™, you bring a new level of awareness in relationships for your clients.
YOUR GOAL We want to help people understand themselves and their relationships on a deeper, more meaningful level. We want to help them love more and love easier.
HOW YOU ARE D IFFERENT Using the face as a starting place, you offer a set of tools and techniques that most are not aware of. You are bringing ancient wisdom to the mainstream. Most coaches and teachers use a playbook that is generic in that its the same logic for everyone. What youI know is that people are very different in fact, uniquely individual. You show clients how unique people are and how to relate on an individual, deep way to others to forge meaningful, productive and satisfying relationships based on what their faces tell us about who they are and how they want to be treated.
WHAT YOU DEL IVER Like a language translator, you give your clients a new set of tools to enrich and understand their relationships. You deliver this through one-on-one coaching, programs, workshops, and speaking.

POINT OF VIEW
TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY THEY WANT TO BE TREATED . To move successfully through the world, you need to understand that we all view it from our own perspective. If you can better understand someone else’s perspective, you can all get what you desire.
THERE IS NO FORMULA FOR TRANSFORMATION . The are tools and truths, but there is not a set system that works for everyone. Your work explores the individuality in people. You also honor your client’s unique personalities and desires with your custom process.
AWARENESS IS POWERFUL . Once people understand this new way of looking at the world, their lives and relationships dramatically change. Once you see something, you don’t unsee it.

PATTERNSvisual identity
The patterns that will complement your brand designs are two types: the nodes of “connection” and a fingerprint-style pattern. These communicate different aspects of your brand and add visual interest. They also ground your brand in the science aspect.

The fonts used in your designs give a very modern and authoritative feel. They are clean and polished. They don’t draw too much attention to themselves — the tools, work, and concepts will do most of the talking.
In Canva, substitute Open Sans Extra Bold (all caps) for headlines and Montserrat Light for body text. Use Playfair Display (no caps) as your accent.

IMAGE DO’S
visual identity
Brand Guidelines Michelle Butt
Extremely high-quality stock images of people in relationships.
Images that fade to black or white (when possible!)
Images of you, the expert. Vectors or graphics that have a clean, science-driven feeling
When choosing images for your brand, pick ones like these.
22
IMAGE DON’TS
Brand Guidelines Michelle Butt
Stock photos of people by themselves, not relating to other people
Technology-driven photos. Your topic is the science of people so keep human
elements in your photos.
People who are considerably younger or older than your ideal client.
Cheesy or low quality stock photos
When choosing images, avoid ones like these.
