TROPICAL FUSION – The making of it’s Logo!

January 14, 2014 · 8 Comments

“RADIANT ORCHID”
(a beautiful fusion of color)

PANTONE 18-3224 Color of the Year 2014

Here is a true invitation to innovation, to the modern and versatile Radiant Orchid a color that  encourages creativity + originality.
Imbued within, is the wonderful harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink.
Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and its rosy undertones emanate great joy, love and health.

Radiant Orchid mood-board by Lisa Rivas

I created a mood-board on Pinterest about this color so to see its possibilities,
here’s a selection that inspired my design for this logo of the BLOG-HOP.
I then did some research on Color + Physics!

Pantone RADIANT ORCHID -18-3224

 Upon looking at the color values of Radiant Orchid’s  formulations,
it came to my attention that it was 19% Cyan (blue) and 70% Magenta (red)

a fusion = Radiant Orchid

In some way it was like a marriage of these 2 colors, brilliant!
Ah, …so RADIANT …of course a Tropical Fusion,
it is worth a hop. Towards this BLOG-HOP!

 Tropical Fusion, a blog-hop!

 …and thus was born this logo and branding image for TROPICAL FUSION,
a color-pattern blog-hop!

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
