After ten videos together, Candid knew what they were capable of. That familiarity is valuable, but it also creates its own ceiling. Their brand identity had developed a visual language over years of work, and the question they brought to the eleventh project was not "how do we make another good video." It was "how do we find out what this brand looks like when it pushes past what it already knows it can do." That is a harder brief to answer than starting from scratch.
How can branding make people feel part of a community?
When working on Strawberry Health, we explored how visual identity could make women’s health feel more approachable and collective.
One of the ways was through supporting brand elements: stickers, badges and phrases that could live beyond the logo and become expressions of belonging.
These elements turned the identity into something people could interact with, share and make their own.
It’s a small detail, but I think it’s an important part of building brands around communities: the identity shouldn’t only identify the brand. It should give people something to identify with.
Love, love, love the colors. My mind goes: Rose Cream, Lime Mousse and Plum, hmmmm, which Plum... Plum Jelly. And of course, Strawberry Sorbet.
