A good logo doesn't automatically make a strong brand.
You can have a great mark, great clothes, and great photography, but if everything looks different from one piece to another, people won't remember the brand.
That was something I kept in mind while building the visual identity for TBAS, a modern streetwear brand.
I wanted the identity to feel bold without becoming noisy, and flexible enough to work across clothing, social media, banners, and other brand touchpoints.
So I built the system around a few simple things:
→ A recognizable logo
→ Strong typography
→ A consistent visual language
→ Graphics that still feel like TBAS without the logo being everywhere
Because brand identity isn't about making one design look good.
It's about making 20 different designs still feel like the same brand.
A closer look at Aureva, a Paris-based skincare brand I worked on.
The brief was to create a brand identity and packaging that felt premium yet approachable. I paired distinctive typography with soft earth tones, using color to give each product its own place within the range.
So I did what any designer would do: I made the card myself 😂
Brushed metal. Laser-engraved logo. Holographic Mastercard rings. Full 360° spin. I'm going to keep polishing this until the real one shows up in my mailbox. Your move, Contra 👀
(Concept / fan design, not an official Contra product..Yet 🙌 )
