Believing that true beauty is in simplicity, a fine natural skincare brand Koozmetik is known for its picky selection of ingredients, an essential product range, and minimalism in design.

Preparing to expand on EU markets, the brand needed a redesign that would strengthen its premium and sophisticated qualities while achieving perceptual continuity with its previous design, and unisex look and feel. At the same time, we had to consolidate the entire visual system to ensure strong consistency across the range.

The first step in our approach was to redefine the portfolio architecture as the baseline for a seamless customer experience and navigation through product lines and categories when shopping online and offline.

Next, since each of the key product and brand information was positioned on a separate side of a package – making the product placements on shelves and purchase experience rather complex, it was necessary to redefine the informational architecture on the packaging itself. 

Finally, this strategic and creative analysis led us to design a concept carefully devised and crafted around the letter element, previously used as an associative product descriptor. Albeit a bit subdued, it appeared as a quite interesting and original detail on the packaging, so we decided to give it a more prominent place and role. Enlarging it to become a striking and recognisable brand device, we achieved the new Koozmetik’s branding feels fresh and artistic, just like the products it represents.

Our task was to redesign the visual identity and simple website with a focus on presenting their projects.
 
The logo design for This and That is based on the symbol which presents a combination of shapes of letter T. The sign is harmonically combined with a typographic part that features the brand name presented in an elegant and minimalist manner.

Education

The human spirit that teaches a child to be a fighter, a thinker, and a sage, without stopping to play. Gagunashvili Chess Academy was founded in 2020 in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, a land of tea and chess. Academy organizes individual and group online lessons for children of different ages and chess levels, by grandmasters who have made the 64-field game famous around the world and teachers who love working with children from all over the world.

They came to us for a new visual identity and website design. We developed a new identity system and unique custom website with an emphasis on the benefits that chess can have.

Also, we worked on copywriting for the website's purpose, playfully an overall visual identity look and feel. We wanted a logo that could act as the main source of imagery in GCA’s communications. Lastly, we developed a short micro animation to achieve a more dynamic experience.
