MARKET & COMPETITION 32

MARKET

Compared to its competitors, Jamba has been in the market for a relatively shorter period. While Jamba Juice has performed relatively well as compared to the other brands in the smoothie industry, its competitors are also in a strong position.

Juice it Up, Smoothie King and Smoothie Planet are its main competitors in the smoothie industry. The entry of McDonalds and Starbucks has, however, made the competition stiffen for Jamba Juice.

Another competition that rises is privately owned smoothie bars, they are quick adapters to trends and are always ready to match costumers needs.

42

THE OLD

The look and feel of the previous logomark were childish in a not aesthetically pleasing way. It has its roots in colorful fruits and has implemented so many bright colors that it loses its connection to modernism and trustworthiness as market leaders.

All of the colors used in the logo: green, yellow, orange, red, have a purpose of communicating fruity and playful. The design of the logo displays a juice blender in a somewhat playful way. This in combination with the wordmark that is used in the logo makes it to playful and as a result very childish.

The logo losses its trust and modern look and feel to it. This disconnects Jamba Juice from their audience that always looks for new interesting alternatives.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

44

THE NEW

Jamba Juice is remade to be modern and trustworthy.

For Jamba Juice it’s important to be trendsetters, to be role models for other companies in the same business.

Communicating that, together, we can work towards a more environmentally friendly business that supports our local people.

A new logo and wordmark are implemented to bring a modern avant-garde down-to-earth look and feel to the brand. The circles of the new brand logo create a geometrical shape that represents the loop of how we give back to nature and our local producer’s. The color of the new brand logo is spring red. It represents a modern and down-to-earth personality of Jamba Juice. The simplicity of the logo is very important, it communicates modernism and that Jamba Juice is not afraid to stand out.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

46

LOGO EXPLORATIONS The exploration of the new logo started with taking keywords and changing them into symbols. In some of the marks, there is a symbol of different fruits and other juice inspired items. Using the name was also tested, together with a combination of graphic elements. In other, more abstract geometrical forms were tested, working off the old logo and its shapes.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

48

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

SECOND SKETCHES The abstract geometrical forms were the strongest symbol for the new look of Jamba Juice and are explored further.

Different combinations and scales were tested, both round and vertical. The round feeling of the circles communicates trustworthy, in combination with a geometrical form, it communicates modernism.

50

DIGITAL DRAFTS The abstract geometrical form of circles in vertical order became the strongest symbol for the new Jamba Juice logo. Throughout the digital discovery, the weight and orientation of the circles were explored.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

52

CHOSEN LOGO The new logo symbolizes Jamba Juice sense of being down-to-earth and modern at the same time.

The new logo plays off the old logo in a modern take to strengthen their new vision of the brand.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

54

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

SIMILAR LOGOS There are few similar logos on the market.

Examples are Audi, The Olympics, and Master Card. These logos are not in the same business as Jamba Juice but communicates similar values such as solidarity, progressive and new thinking.

56

WORDMARK Different versions were tested for the wordmark with the conclusion that a san serif font with bold circular shapes fits best with the new logomark.

A new font was created for Jamba Juice based on circular shapes. All characters of the wordmark have a bold and round finish with horizontal top and bottom. The balance of every letter is weight properly with an even amount of white space inside the letters.

Different trackings were tested, to see what had a better visual appeal. Tracking at -30, -20, -10, 10, 30, 40, 55, 75 was tested. The end result has its own custom kearning between every letter.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL DEVELOPMENT

58

FINALIZATION The new wordmark matches the new logo mark in the sense that all the edges are rounded with circular shapes. The kearnig is different for each character to get the most visually pleasing result.

THE NEW BRAND Jamba Juice previously used a childish logomark with very bright colors. While the idea is good it doesn’t communicate the new Jamba Juice. The new logomark stands for the brand being down to earth and modern.

Throughout the process of building the new logomark, those ideas were always kept in mind. The new look oozes professionalism and a new start for the brand.

MARK SYSTEM 66

VERTICAL The vertical signature will be used for assets such as advertising, print, marketing collateral, press releases, emails. The logo size may be scaled depending on the usage. The vertical signature will be used as the primary signature.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL STANDARDS

IN-LINE

The inline signature will feature the wordmark.

It will be used in internal communication, brand collaborations, and in general where there is no space for the full vertical logo. The inline signature will be used secondarily to the vertical signature.

68

CLEAR SPACE The minimum required distance from the logo for placement of text or graphic elements must be the size of the third circle from a bow in the logo. This rule applies to any and all uses of the logo.

In case of printed materials where the logo is placed at the edge of the paper, the minimum distance from the edge of the format is the size of the third circle from a bow in the logo.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL STANDARDS

70

MINIMUM SIZE When reproducing our logo, be conscious of its size and legibility. Use common sense — a signature that is too small ceases to serve any useful communication function. Generally, our logo should never appear less than 0.8� tall on printed materials, and no less than 36px tall in the digital realm.

JAMBA JUICE / VISUAL STANDARDS

72

LOGO COLORS Throughout Jamba Juice the logo will be used in three different color options; Black, White, and Summer Red. The different colored logos will exist in varying environments. Summer Red is the primary color accompanied by black and white as secondary.
