DESIGN NAME: Peace and Presence Well-Being
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Branding
INSPIRATION: The desire to invoke a peaceful, calming and relaxing state for customers was expressed. With this in mind the creative team tried to discover what it was that personally induced that state in the owners of P&PW. Childhood memories were discussed; playing in the woods by a stream, memories of nature and the flora and fauna by the riverbank. Nature and water were key reference points as was a nostalgic fondness of times gone by. This emotive response is amplified in the brand aesthetic
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Peace and Presence Wellbeing Is a UK based holistic therapy brand providing services such as reflexology, holistic massage and reiki to rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit. The P&PW philosophy is to help clients to find a state of stillness with an insight into inner peace by paying attention to what is now with a kind heart.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: After initial consultation mindmaps and moodboards were created, leveraging on the themes of water and nature and attempting to find a delicate, calming, almost nostalgic aesthetic. Copper tones, both in its natural and oxidised state, were inspired by ageing garden water fountains and the flora and fauna of woodland streams inspired the illustrative aspect of the brand. A clean and minimal logotype was designed to reflect the desire to appeal to a high end clientele, yet this somewhat sharp minimalism was balanced and softened with natural textures and organic illustration.
CHALLENGE: The resulting visual system for Peace and Presence Wellbeing was crafted from in-depth interviews with the client with a view to establishing key motivations behind the company and the key aims of the brand. These interviews provided insights which helped structure the aesthetics and underpin the visuals with the values of the company
