DESIGN SOLUTION
The Hangout’s branding exudes the nostalgic energy of surf culture. The logo is friendly and inviting, with 70’s inspired typography and a name that is easy to recognize and remember. A warm, retro color scheme includes orange, dark blue, and a lighter blue, giving the design a coastal feel. These design elements seamlessly transition from logos to branded merchandise, unifying The Hangout experience across mediums. Beyond aesthetics, this retro brand identity embodies the spirit of connection and shared moments. The Hangout’s branding isn’t just about design—it’s about embracing a lifestyle, inviting all to become part of a story that honors the past, enjoys the present, and welcomes the future.
