About Humanguild
The Human Guild is an open group of founders and creators who believe everyone should be able to earn what they need in order to do what they love.
The Human Guild’s purpose is to obliterate the barriers and gatekeeping that prevent people from creating what they love. We are overjoyed to have the privilege of helping the next generation of passion-driven founders achieve what they want.
Their aim is to make every human to be rewarded for bringing their creations to the world
How we plan to improve Human Guild’s Brand Design →
After making extensive research and observations, I found out that Humanguild is changing the future of getting rewards as a creator in the decentralized space as they help to improve the experience of compensation without barriers and gatekeeping so that sustainable products can be built for humanity.
Looking at those sustainable factors, I decided to embark on a design journey in order to redesign the brand outfit of Human Guild.

Questions
Who you are as a brand is made up of a few key elements:
- Your mission (what’s your “why?”)
- Your values (what beliefs drive human guild?)
- Your brand personality (if human guild was a person, what kind of personality would they have?)
- Your unique positioning (how do you differentiate human guild from the competition?)
- Your brand voice (if human guild was a person, how would it communicate?)
These elements are what define your brand, and before you start building your brand identity, it’s important you have a clear understanding of each.
