research

positioning pleasure

Within the luxury segment of sexual wellness products, a slew of competitors are present. Most brands tend to carry similar lines of products: condoms, lubes/serums, and toys, with a few also selling supplements, wipes, std tests, and menstrual products.

I researched and categorized competitors according to how they were positioning themselves in terms of visual identity (y-axis) and brand voice (x-axis) to pinpoint where exactly a new brand could easily differentiate itself.

Surveying the (Brand) environment

Glass Half Full maintains a robust social media presence on Instagram and TikTok, which Glassroots and ReCoast benefit tremendously from.

As is the case with many nonprofits, Glass Half Full scaled without solidifying consistent brand identity assets or guidelines, and relied on Wordpress templates to build its site and those of the organizations it spawned. Logos appear to have been created by volunteer labor and do not feel connected to each other or in service of larger efforts to brand their organizations digitally.

The company's branding at the time of this project had received the generic SAAS treatment: lots of blue, tech jargon, and generic tech illustrations. On the bright side, off of the homepage, the website housed a massive amount of high-quality content.

logo

same, same, but different

The redesigned logos are all built using the same typeface, and the same modified character is used in each logo to help preserve unity across the family of brands.

The wave shaped crossbar in the "A" is a simple yet elegant solution that uses evokes the coast—tying the sustainability-focused mission to the visual identity of the brand.

website design

Slightly frique, mostly chic

Neutral colors, smooth animations, and refined typography help the digital experience of the homepage feel luxurious. Including sections to explore the ethos of the brand, using inclusive and high quality photography, and having a blog on the site help the target consumer experience Bontemps as a lifestyle brand, not just a place to buy lube and condoms.

This is a straight on shot of the front of a glass bottle from a fictitious alcoholic spirits company called Haymish. The label on the bottle matches the background color (pink), which features illustrations of plums.
