The concept of this design was inspired by the ups and downs of sound waves to develop an identity that translated the upbeat and refined style into something as good as the instrument. Even though it may seem contradictory, silence also inspired this design, showing that moments of pause are as important as moments of noise in a song.

Finding the perfect mix of colours, typography, and visual elements that resonate with the client's brand personality and the preferences of his target audience was crucial in overcoming the challenges and delivering a captivating visual identity for GutoSax.

The outcome design features a sleek, dynamic, and adaptable brand identity that plays with shapes, creating a stunning visual signature. It is a fusion of musical worlds that communicate well with the public and transmit a refined style.

Aiming to translate the essence of GutoSax, "Feel the Groove" was defined as the tagline. The statement is to be used throughout the graphic materials, but it also has potential for more, allowing the band to use it as a strategy to boost brand awareness, be the ensemble's motto, or even to name the album being crafted.
