CHARGE — Brand Concept
Challenge
The focus gum category is crowded with products that rely on functional claims, lifestyle clichés, or overly clinical branding. CHARGE needed a visual identity that immediately communicated energy, confidence, and momentum while feeling premium enough to compete on modern digital shelves.
Idea
Energy. Focus. Go.
The concept treats focus as movement rather than concentration. Every graphic element—from bold typography and angular compositions to kinetic motion and athletic photography—reinforces the feeling of acceleration.
Rather than telling people they’ll feel energized, the brand is designed to make them feel energized the moment they encounter it.
Visual Language
A bold, high-contrast design system built around oversized typography, dynamic geometric forms, clean white space, and vibrant product colors creates an instantly recognizable identity. Bright lifestyle photography captures moments of determination, speed, and achievement, while the colorful packaging becomes a hero element across every touchpoint.
Motion System
The motion language is driven by momentum. Type slides with purpose, products snap into frame, athletes move through fast cinematic cuts, and macro product moments add tactile detail. Every transition is quick, precise, and intentional—mirroring the instant boost associated with the product.
Photography
Instead of generic fitness imagery, the photography celebrates peak performance across multiple sports and disciplines. Powerful portraits, dynamic action, and vibrant outdoor environments create a feeling of optimism and forward motion while reflecting a diverse community of high performers.
Outcome
The result is a contemporary consumer brand that feels energetic, premium, and highly scalable. The identity extends seamlessly across packaging, social media, motion graphics, advertising, digital experiences, and retail—creating a cohesive brand system that is memorable both on shelf and on screen.
Treating focus as movement instead of concentration is a sharp reframe, most gum brands default to clinical or minty-clean visuals instead. The kinetic macro shots are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Was that photography direction locked in from the start, or did it come...
This project reminded me why I love branding.
Not because of the logo design—but because of everything that comes after it.
I challenged myself to build more than a logo. From strategy and identity to packaging, campaign visuals, product design, and motion visuals, every detail was crafted to create a luxury brand that's as inclusive as it is beautiful.
Which mockup is your favorite? 👀
Going beyond just the logo into packaging and motion for Stolen Summer is exactly the kind of scope that makes a brand actually feel whole instead of just a mark slapped on things. Was there a piece of the system that almost got cut for time but you fought to keep in?
Your Brand Is Speaking Before You Do
Customers form an opinion about your business before they ever experience your product or service.
That opinion is shaped by your brand.
Not just the logo.
Not just the colours.
The entire identity.
Barbr Bento Motion was created to explore how a complete branding system can shape that perception through consistency, structure, and purposeful motion.
Instead of presenting individual assets, we focused on revealing how every piece of the identity - from typography and colour to brand applications and supporting graphics - works together to communicate one clear message:
Professional businesses build professional brands.
Because the strongest brands don't simply look premium.
They make customers feel confident enough to choose them.
If your visual identity isn't communicating your business's value, it may already be costing you opportunities before the first conversation begins.
Looking for a brand identity that helps your business earn trust, attract better customers, and stand out in a crowded market? Let's build a brand that works as hard as you do.
