DESIGN NAME: Ecohiny
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Branding
INSPIRATION: We created the brand direction inspired by the quirky name of the brand. The brand symbol is chosen as a peach, while the choice of colors creates a fun and playful personality for the brand. Deep blueish green hue, paired with peach, also conveys a sense of eco-friendliness and sustainability. As a typeface, a modern sans-serif font was chosen to convey a sense of simplicity and approachability. The font is legible and easy to read, making it ideal for product packaging and web design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: ecoHiny is a newly launched brand of bathroom products made from 100% organic bamboo, FSC certified and soft as a feather.

The product name and features are displayed prominently and in large font size on the packaging, as the product is displayed and sold on online e-commerce platforms.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A thorough competitor research was done online and offline. During the research phase we realized that all bamboo toilet paper brands use the same tone of bright green. Our aim was to differentiate the brand from others on the market by using a unique color palette.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was being able to produce the same color for the toilet paper wraps and the shipping box. Even though a propriate Pantone color was chosen, the fact that the wraps and the box has different materials resulted in different printed colors. We had to make adjustment in the trial print phase, to make sure the colors matched.
