I started with sketching the three different names and different ideas I had for designing them. I then moved to Figma and tried multiple different fonts for each. I found that the best designs for each name were the more straightforward ones.

I picked a final design of each and asked others in class which they preferred and it was unanimous that everyone liked Amigo the most with its very simple design which is a lot more effective than the more complex designs.
Zain is the font I picked for the headings and wordmark, it's a very friendly font that has soft corners making it very approachable.
Red Hat Display is the body font it’s geometric making it very clear and welcoming with big curves.
