Overview

The challenge was to create a distinctive brand for Repel Umbrella that stands out in a crowded market while reinforcing trust, style, and reliability. The goal? To make people feel confident and stylish, knowing they’re covered—literally and figuratively.

The Challenge: More Than Just an Umbrella

Umbrellas are everywhere. The real challenge? Making Repel Umbrella stand out as premium, stylish, and trustworthy—a brand that people don’t just use but feel good about carrying.
We needed to craft an identity that went beyond function, turning a simple umbrella into a statement of confidence, reliability, and everyday style.

The Strategy: Standing Out in a Saturated Market

To elevate Repel, we built the brand around:
✅ Core Values – Customer-first, high-quality craftsmanship, and exclusivity.
✅ Personality-Driven Branding – A mix of intelligence, confidence, and effortless style—because your umbrella should feel like an accessory, not an afterthought.
✅ Emotional Connection – More than just protection from rain, Repel gives a sense of security, durability, and a touch of pride.

The Design: Crafting a Premium Feel

Logo & Visual Identity
The logo is sleek, modern, and subtly references protection with a droplet motif, reinforcing trust and durability.
Typography: A Mix of Strength & Elegance
Raleway (Headers) – Strong, yet approachable.
Plus Jakarta Sans (Body) – Modern, clean, and minimal.
Color Palette: Striking a Balance
Midnight Blue – Sophistication & trust.
Sunset Orange – A bold, premium pop of energy.
Emerald Green – Freshness & vibrancy.
Fog & Pearl White – Calm and elegance.
Photography Guidelines
Relatable, stylish imagery—natural settings, warm tones.
Umbrellas as a lifestyle piece—not just for rain but an essential part of everyday carry.
