๐ฟ Brand and art direction for nunu, a minimal botanical skincare brand built around green oils, soft rituals, clean ingredients, and calm visual storytelling.
Nunu's color palette does most of the storytelling before you even read "quiet care for skin in balance", that green feels calm without being sleepy. How much of the direction came from the client's existing product formulation versus starting from a blank slate?
The way nunu unfolds in that opening shot feels so unhurried, it matches the whole quiet care idea perfectly. Curious how the client reacted to going this minimal, did they need reassurance that restraint wouldn't read as boring?
The art direction here is beautifully restrained. The macro botanical imagery, oversized typography, and negative space create a really distinctive visual language โ calm, premium, and highly intentional. Great work. ๐
The mark fans out from a narrow point, while the wordmark leans forward. together, they give it a sense of movement without needing much detail.
Thereโs a lot of color in the wider identity, so the logo holds its own in plain white. Simple geometry with enough weight to stand up to everything around it.
Sphynx or Markhor?
Two very different logo directions, built for the same brand.
One speaks to where the brand comes from.
โจThe other speaks to who the brand is for.
Both had a reason to exist. Only one could define the identity effectively.
Which one do you think the client chose?
And if youโre curious about the thinking, debate and decisions that led to the final direction, Iโve broken down the full story in this post.
Markhor for me. The Sphynx is the cooler illustration, but the Markhor can carry a whole brand system without getting tired. One is a mascot, the other is an identity.
Experimenting with avatar animation using Figma + Motion โจ
Honestly, I never thought Figma Motion could generate motion this smooth, itโs starting to feel surprisingly close to what Iโd normally achieve in After Effects.
Figma Motion is definitely making motion exploration much more accessible for product designers. ๐
