This project began with Thams, a talented nail artist in Berlin with a passion for culinary creations, tattoos, makeup and other creative outlets. They wanted a cohesive identity that could bring together their varied pursuits under a single, adaptable brand. The result was Thams Does—a brand name born out of the design process, allowing Thams to showcase their multifaceted artistry seamlessly: Thams Does Nails, Thams Does Tattoos, Thams Does Art. This unified approach eliminated the need for scattered messaging while celebrating their creative versatility.

The goal was to design a brand that reflected Thams’ artistry and values while being adaptable to their diverse outlets. Key steps included:
Name Development: The name Thams Does was crafted to highlight the artist’s broad creative range, providing a platform that could easily adapt to various pursuits while maintaining a cohesive identity.
Logo Design: Inspired by transformation and individuality, the primary logo incorporates a butterfly motif with claw-inspired edges, reflecting both Thams’ nail artistry and the brand's mission of empowerment and creativity. Variants were designed to suit different mediums, such as social media, product packaging, and promotional materials.

Color Palette: A vibrant yet balanced combination of pinks, lime green, baby blue, and deep navy was chosen to reflect Thams’ bold, edgy, and welcoming personality. This palette transitions seamlessly across nails, food photography, and lifestyle content.
Typography: Bold, modern typography was paired with softer subtext fonts, ensuring a versatile yet cohesive voice for all creative endeavors.
Graphic Elements: Custom patterns and iconography, such as claw and heart motifs, were developed to symbolize inclusivity, self-expression, and the safe space Thams Does embodies.
