NEJ | Concept Brand Identity for Activewear Brand

Honey Nandal

Overview

NEJ is a fictional athleticwear brand created as a personal project to explore how strategic branding can bring energy, relevance, and visual impact to youth-centric industries.
From logo ideation and typography to packaging and merchandise design, I crafted a bold, kinetic identity that would resonate with Gen Z consumers, drawing inspiration from motion, self-expression, and empowerment.
