The process began with a comprehensive discovery phase. I worked closely with the leadership at Shamaev Law Office to identify the firm’s core values, mission, and target audience.

Research activities included:
• Conducting interviews with the firm’s leadership to clarify their vision for the brand.
• Analyzing competitor brands within the immigration law space to determine positioning opportunities.

I took into account the fact that the company operates in Miami. Therefore we selected the colors that will distinguish the brand from the competitors. They will also retain associations with the south, good weather and the ocean. We remember that climate is an important reason for immigration.
The point is that using the same emotional associations, we didn't slip into a travel agency brand ID. We remain reserved, businesslike and emotional enough.

| The logo and the brand elements are perfectly adaptable and suitable for both classic corporate documentation and for a bright brand communication with the target audience. The main associations are: a bird as the sign of migration; a book to emphasize competence. |
