A brand, campaigns, and photography for an athletic apparel label

Kaleidoscope Athletic Apparel, Athletic apparel label

Kaleidoscope Athletic Apparel lives by one line: "Live Life in Color." AVO designed its wordmark, color system, and brand guide, ran many social campaigns and ads, including the Spectrum Collection launch, and shot the product, model, and gym photography.

The work in numbers

The challenge

Kaleidoscope sells color. Its line is "Live Life in Color," and the Spectrum Collection offers every tee and legging in five colors. The brand had to carry that promise across a website, social feeds, posters, and print, and still be recognizable at the size of a sock ad.

What we did

AVO designed the brand and wrote it into a guide: a K wordmark, four named colors with their Pantone matches, and Helvetica in two weights. The campaigns, posters, and order book on this page carry that wordmark. AVO also built the label's website, which is no longer live.

The outcome

Kaleidoscope came back to AVO for project after project: the brand, social campaigns and ads, product and model photography, print, and a website.

Social campaigns

Many social campaigns and ads built on the brand's #LiveLifeInColor line. The Spectrum Collection launch showed each tee and legging in all five colors, a throwback series restyled the shorts and socks in retro graphics, and product ads gave the sock line its own run. Every piece was sized for feed and story placement.
