MODA's block-style word mark and dynamic color palette of pink, blue, and yellow create a visually interesting identity that draws readers into learning more about the accessible fashion world. The bold and modern Avenir Next is a perfect complementary typeface for this design aesthetic as it serves both as a deliverable of striking typographic visual language in MODA’s logo as well as easily readable as a body copy for layout and page content.
Accessibility in the Fashion Industry
Historically, the fashion industry has been criticized for its lack of diversity and failure to showcase a wide range of body types and abilities. However, by highlighting prosthetics as wearable art, fashion designers can challenge traditional beauty standards and create a more inclusive and diverse industry. MODA’s vibrant color palette, bold typography, and dynamic imagery are used to showcase a sense of celebration and joy in response to this upcoming step in fashion inclusivity.
