About Uebaa Brand Identity

Ang Uebaa usa ka brand identity nga gimugna alang sa usa ka kompanya nga naghimo og mga produkto para sa mga bata. Ang identity gibase sa upat ka ideya: makalingaw, funsyonal, sustinable, ug estetiko. Kining mga ideyaha gipahayag pinaagi sa halapad nga palette sa kolor, mga ilustrasyon ug mga pictogram. Ang visual nga pinulongan nagpunting sa mga bata, samtang ang mga ideya sa brand nakigsulti sa mga ginikanan. Ang sistema gigamit sa usa ka brandbook nga 96 ka panid, mga tag, kard, stationery, mga nawong sa produkto, social media ug usa ka website. Kadaghanan sa mga naimprinta nga materyal gihimo pinaagi sa offset printing gamit ang mga kolor nga CMYK, ug ang mga ilustrasyon gihimo sa digital nga paagi.

Tags: Branding, visual identity, brand identity, illustration
Production Technology: Most of the graphic materials were produced in offset in CMYK-scale colors. Original site development in PHP language. The illustrations were developed digitally.
Design Challenge: The brand language encountered significant implementation challenges. For it is a extensive identity system, with several elements of visual
identity and an extensive color palette, the brand book required detailed treatment of the rules and guidelines for use, especially in the integration of identity elements with typography. The line's sub-brands, Toca and Pingo, expanded the Uebaa business model, but also required restrictions on the integrated use with the parent brand.
Research: The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the visual identity project expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Uebaa brand.
Inspiration: The Uebaa brand needed to find its own branding language, which would develop narratives for its final audience, children and their parents, building an affective connection with them. The tone of the brand's speech was rethought and a series of ludic narratives, illustrations and pictograms were created to bring Uebaa closer to its audience. Applied to surfaces, social media, stationery, the website and much more, the images are basis for the exposure of the fun and childlike spirit of the brand.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2020 and finished in June 2022 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow: The new brand identity project of the Uebaa brand allowed it to appropriate the universe of childlike language with authority, without incurring a model permeated with cliches. The brand identity uses illustrations to pragmatically exemplify its brand basis namely playful, functional, sustainable and aesthetic. The visual language is for children, but the brand basis aim to dialogue with parents.
