Speaking Heroes

Case study

Behind Speaking Heroes is a team of moderators and facilitators who run public speaking workshops where people learn to become more confident speakers, skilled at delivering engaging and memorable presentations or speeches.

The team approached us to create a strong visual identity and design and develop their new website. Our goal was to capture the energy of their courses in their visual communication. We focused on making the brand versatile and easy to use, making sure it could be easily applied across social media, presentation slides, merch, and other brand assets.

Brand identity creation

Brand identity creation

Speaking Heroes is all about confidence, skill, and—for many—stepping out of their comfort zone. We wanted to translate these emotions into the brand itself. It needed to be a little bold but very professional. Approachable and playful, while maintaining a high level of clarity and functionality.

Logo

Logo

The Speaking Heroes logo is the brand’s main identifier, designed for use across nearly all brand applications. It consists of a brandmark and logotype, with the logotype set in Archivo, the primary brand typeface. The brandmark is inspired by a speech bubble, symbolizing communication, dialogue, and the friendly, interactive atmosphere of Speaking Heroes’ workshops. The logo was designed to ensure high legibility, even at smaller sizes, making it effective across both digital and print materials.

Typography

Typography

We chose Archivo as the primary typeface for Speaking Heroes. This Google Font features a clean, geometric structure and is modern, versatile, and highly legible. It was also a practical choice–this font is widely accessible, easy to implement, and ensures consistency across all digital and print brand communications.

Color palette

Color palette

Keeping in mind what Speaking Heroes stands for, we selected a bold neon yellow as the primary color. This bold choice symbolizes the confidence participants gain through the workshops. When paired with secondary gray tones, the neon yellow becomes even more vivid, creating a strong contrast that reinforces the brand’s positivity and energy.

Web design

Web design

When designing the Speaking Heroes website, we aimed to balance bold, eye-catching elements with a structured layout, ensuring users can easily find the information they need while maintaining strong visual elements that reflect the branding. A key aspect of the design is the authentic imagery, featuring real photos from past sessions, bringing the workshop experience to life. It's an intuitive, well-structured website that provides just enough information to engage visitors while making course registration effortless.

Implementation

Following the brand identity creation and web design, we were also brought on to handle the implementation of the website. We developed it on WordPress, creating a custom WP template with easily editable web modules.

Implementation

Additionally, we integrated the site with an online reservation system, a payment gateway, and email marketing software, allowing the Speaking Heroes team to efficiently manage their courses while maintaining seamless communication with participants.
