This project was to find a brand lacking in motion and to build a refresher for it. I took Chronicle books and explored how to modernize a book company into something new and exciting.
First a few touch ups
The Chronicle Book's Logo is so close to being good, unfortunately someone chose to use copperplate next to the fun glasses. So I just did a little update on the typeface and moved it below the glasses.

Reading through a new lens
