Your brand’s look and feel is often the first impression someone has of your business. But with endless options on Canva and Pinterest, choosing the right fonts and colours can feel overwhelming.

Define Your Brand Personality

Think of your brand like a person. Is it fun and playful? Calm and grounded? Luxe and polished? Write down 3–5 words that describe your brand’s vibe.

Examples:

Relaxed, minimal, thoughtful
Bold, cheeky, high-energy
Warm, earthy, approachable

Pick a Colour Palette That Supports Your Personality

Colour psychology is powerful:

Earthy tones = trust, calm, grounded (perfect for wellness or sustainable brands)
Bright colours = energy, creativity, playfulness (great for events, cafes, or kids’ brands)
Neutrals = simplicity, elegance, minimalism (ideal for luxury services or interior design)

Local Tip: Look to FNQ’s landscape for inspiration. The reef, rainforest, and coastline can all influence colour choices that feel authentic to your business.

Choose Fonts That Are Clear and On Brand

Don’t overcomplicate it—two fonts is usually plenty:

One for headings (bold or stylised)
One for body text (simple and legible)

Examples of safe pairings:

Serif + Sans Serif (classic, timeless)
Bold Display + Light Sans (modern, fresh)

Match Your Visual Vibe to Your Audience

Your visuals should speak directly to your clients:

Are they casual or corporate?
Are they booking a luxury service or looking for something fun and friendly?
What emotion do you want your brand to evoke?

💡 Pro tip: Create a Pinterest moodboard or use a free tool like Coolors to experiment with palettes.
