Designed to feel distinctly energetic and forward-looking, the Spring Forum pushes beyond the Academy's existing brand to capture the excitement of AI in manufacturing while staying rooted in Apple's signature clarity and craft.






Pattern


An 8×8 dot grid becomes a flexible system of movement and transformation. Directional forms echo AMA's existing identity while embracing a modular, tech-driven character.






Color


The brighter, more energetic palette signals growth and discovery. The primary green anchors the system, with secondary and accent colors for emphasis.

Explored how the pattern, typography, and core brand elements could adapt across a diverse range of layouts and use cases.
