Tropina | Brand Identity Design — Case Study

Client: Conceptual Industry: Food & Beverage Scope: Brand Identity, Packaging, Product Mockups, Copywriting
Tagline: Inspired by the Islands

01 — Project Goal

To develop a full brand identity for Tropina, a coconut water brand rooted in simplicity, refreshment, and island inspiration. The objective was to create a minimal, modern visual system that would reflect the purity of the product while standing out on shelves and digital platforms.

02 — What I Wanted to Achieve

Capture the natural, hydrating quality of the coconut water through design
Build a complete brand suite (logo, color palette, packaging, icons, website, etc.)
Create a cohesive, memorable identity that resonates with health-conscious consumers and modern minimalists

03 — Creative Challenges

Translating flavour into form: How do you visually represent something that’s simple, clear, and pure without making the brand feel too plain or forgettable?
Standing out in a saturated wellness space: Tropina needed a voice and look that didn’t rely too heavily on cliché tropical visuals.
Balance of visual restraint and personality: Ensuring the branding was minimal but not clinical or boring.

04 — Design Solutions

Logo Design: A clean coconut-circle with a curved line mimicking a wave, coconut split, and a subtle smile finished with a wind-swept palm leaf detail.
Color Palette: A gentle gradient of seafoam green, coconut white, palm green, and sandy beige to evoke refreshment and warmth.
Packaging: Clean can and carton mockups using minimalist illustration, clear messaging, and playful nods to island life.
Website & Social: A simple homepage concept and full social toolkit to help communicate the product’s personality across digital touchpoints.
Icon Set & Dielines: Custom vector Stickers and conceptual dieline layout.

05 — What I Learned
Minimalism needs meaning: Stripping things back only works when what remains is intentional.
Symbolism can elevate simplicity: A curve can be more than a line, it can be a wave, a smile, a feeling.
Storytelling is design: Every design decision was a chance to reinforce Tropina’s brand voice: calm, clean, and connected to nature.
