Brand Identity
HackAIthon’s brand identity utilizes the Pragmatica Extended and Approach Mono fonts, symbolizing a blend of sophistication and professionalism. We crafted custom graphics, to-print assets, signage, and social media posts, creating a cohesive visual identity. Our collaborative design process entailed all assets being designed and prototyped in Figma before final approval, export, and development.
Results
