CLIENT PREFERENCE
5. Medicinal look to logo design
Too much information on the packaging
Colour used for the packaging is too strong
to suggest it is for all skin type and for men and women
COMPETITORS

7. Through the market research into the indian skin care brands, following were some
points to take note of while creating the branding and identity of MIRAE:
1. Indian colours (bold adn vibrant) are better to use for Indian market since consumers feel
related and familiar to the brands
2. Since MIRAE is a brand that is focusing on natural feel, too modern look will not suit it’s
identity.
3. Mostly brands that are into no chemical policy make their identity too medicinal which the
client does not want for thier brand MIRAE.
4. Usage of natural elements will be preferable for what the brand stands for.

12. According to the preference of the client, I researched on a few font styles such as Century Gothic, Magesta,
Khairaissa, qanoar personal use, that could make a statement just from the brand name.
I chose to develop more with the font ‘Magesta’ since the font is stylish which can make the brand logo
look modern as this is inspired by chopper font relesed in August 9th 2021. magesta typeface support
multilingual languages, unique uppercase and lowercase ligatures.
After selecting a few fonts for
deciding which one to choose
for the brand logo, I typed it out
in all types of style.
13.
14. The ‘M’ has an element
which is designed to
showcase the reliablity
of the brand as shown
in the design and
protection for others
as shown in the design
when the element
extends over the letter ‘I’.
Each letter is designed in
a way that it represents
the connected, caring and
supportive nature of the
brand for customer’s skin
as shown by the letters ‘r’,
‘a’,and ‘e’.
Since the demand for the brand logo was to look modern yet connected,
The logo is designed with the persepective of the targetted customers
(GEN Z) and it is designed with the inclusitivity of all genders to find
comfort in buying their products.
Inspired from Aloevera plant shape, which is one of the common
ingredient that is going to be used in the products.
16. A logo mark is brand identity and is an image or symbol used to represent a company. I chose to
work with elements that i could take out from the brand logo so that the brand identity can be
strong enough. Keeping in mind the brand mission, I chose to come up with a design that can
represent a brand which provides home made chemical free products targeting men and women.
17.
18. Through the brain storming, ideation and market research, there was something missing in the
approach I had choosen to go with. Therefore, looking at the brand as a whole, a better approach
would be to make it feel chemical free and homemade. I then decided to design the logo mark with
different perspective.
19. The two joined hands not only
represent home made but also
represent the genders (men and
women).
As a whole , the logo
mark is designed keeping
in mind about what the
brand stands for and
through market research,
design also incorporates a
modern and harmless feel
to it.
The petal is taken from the ‘a’ and ‘e’ of the brand
logo which represents final product.
This element was also take from the brand name to create
connection between the brand logo and logomark. This
represents a product being made by hand.
24. Through market research and client preference along with making sure the brand stood out, I looked for pastel colours
at first but through indian skin care brand research I then then chose to choose the colour scheme from various gender
neutral colours.
25. Through market research on the indian
brands and the colour scheme that customers
feel connected to, I chose to work with the
following colour palette.
The colours below are gender neutral as well
as gives a good base to the logomark and the
logo for suggesting home made and chemical
free brand.
