The Amore founders also needed assistance with establishing a logo for their brand. To ensure the right look would appeal to them and their future buyers, three different styles were presented on their Instagram story. They three options were demonstrated with a survey on which style voters liked most.

The founders also shared the DMs that they received throughout the survey submissions. Some of the messages included the following:
“Number 1 hands down, no competition. I love it!”
“The first one is dope. It’s def my fave."
“They’re all nice, but the simplicity of the 1st option stands out.
Based on the survey options and feedback received, option 1 was favored by majority of users.
Consequently, this was the logo style that would be incorporated into the website.
Competitive Audit
5 of the top jewelry lines (David Yurman, Tiffany & Co, Jared, The Gold's God, Zales) that cater to men were put through a competitive audit. These were the themes that reoccurred within the sites:

Insert men wearing jewelry on the homepage.
Have pages dedicated to each type
of jewelry.
Include a diverse range of models.
Include image of item by itself and on a model.
3-4 items per row is ideal.
Include accessibility to available social media handles.

The theme was chosen with the founders and target audience in mind. I knew that they'd want a youthful, trendy and clean look. Images with angles that strategically place the jewelry impacted which images were chosen.
Inspiration




Reflections
Amore Jewelry's aesthetic exudes a clean and fresh look that can withstand the competition in the market. During my creation experience, I was able to understand the value in keeping things simple. Although the website has a simple look and feel, the quality of the images and selection of calligraphy enhances the value of the brand.
Thinking Ahead
For future design ideas, trends that are in the market will need to be examined to ensure Amore is keeping up with their competitors.
