01 / The brief

A brand foundation
before the launch.

The 2024–2025 commission prepared Paws & Whiskers for a premium position in U.S. pet wellness. The identity needed to express care while giving future products a consistent structure.

02 / The identity

A flexible logo family.
Clear roles for the details.

Horizontal, centered and vertical lockups work alongside a stand-alone symbol. A handwritten logotype provides another register for more expressive applications.

Olive green and warm brown anchor the palette. Lighter accents and defined type roles give the system variety without losing its structure.

Identity / Primary, secondary and handwritten lockups on light fields.
Identity rules / Color roles and the supporting palette.

03 / The visual language

Natural settings.
Individual characters.

The image direction moves between lifestyle settings and pet portraits. Natural surfaces, ingredients and domestic scenes establish context; studio-style portraits bring individual animals forward.

Irregular frames, cutouts and handwritten accents connect the photographic material to the graphic system.

Image direction / Lifestyle settings and product context.

04 / Application concepts

From packaging
to everyday content.

Pouch studies test the identity across light, brown and green surfaces. The logo, product-name area and supporting details remain recognizable as the color treatment changes.

These are packaging concepts from the pre-launch work.

A launch example

The same vocabulary,
across a grid.

The example social grid combines pet portraits, packaging imagery, short messages and product-led layouts. Repeated colors, frames and type styles connect the individual pieces.

It shows a direction for future content.
