Brief
Creating a comprehensive identity for a vegan luxury handbag brand that emphasizes cruelty free sourcing, organic components and sustainability of its products.
The process consisted of creating a visual identity, then a logo based on that visual identity, then the brand guidelines.
Visual Identity
When creating a visual identity for Vegana I did research on handbag competitors and other luxury handbag brands to take note of any visual design elements and product trends in the industry. After taking into account competitive trends and defining what my client wanted visually I took my client's description behind his brand and carefully broke it down into three descriptive words that would visually guide the representation of each visual identity. I then spent hours carefully curating images that would illustrate all three territories. I packaged these elements into a presentation for my client and presented them to him in order for him to select which visual territory would be the primary representation of his brand.
My client chose the last slide for the visual direction of the brand. From there I created a brand story, then began working on the logo for Vegana. After a couple rounds of choices of logos my client landed on one and I was able to begin creating the comprehensive brand guidelines. Below are is the logo, brand colors and mockups of the products with the Vegana brand.
Logo
Colors
I wanted to evoke colors reminiscent of humanity, nature, and passion. The colors of the handbags are primarily the color of makeup/ skin tone, the leaves of trees, and the color of fall leaves/ certain types of birds. These colors trigger ancient reactions in the human mind and are not only familiar but have a very nature-like feel. Since Vegana sources its handbags from cactus leather, what better colors than these to signify its ethical and human voice.
