About Dona Vitamina Munus Primarium: Identitas Notae

Dona Vitamina est inceptum identitatis notae, notae iam existenti sucorum creatum. Sigla monstrant matronam Victorianam strabam sucum sorbentem, imaginem iocosam feminae quae sui iuris est. Ad hanc notionem amplificandam, series imaginum feminarum diversarum gentium stilo tabulae excisae depicta est et cum sententiis brevibus atque facetis coniuncta. Imagines apparent in indicibus, involucris, saccis, chartis epistolaribus, adhaesivis magnaque pariete manu facta. Pleraque impressa opere offset coloribus CMYK producta sunt, sacci autem serica cribratione impressi sunt.

Unique Properties
The brand's language starts to have an expanded female representation and empathic with its public. Identity materials have a more intense and diverse graphic rhythm, an expanded color palette and occupaining of the environmental design. By giving more voice to female representations, the brand strengthens its original concept: a woman who owns herself. Text and graphic representation quickly talk to the public, who shares them on social media and engages with the brand's culture.

Production Technology
Most of the graphic materials were produced in offset in CMYK-scale colors. Offset packaging is suitable for delivery. The wall was handmade by Marcelo Ruis Vargas Martinelli.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to reinvigorate the language of the Dona Vitamina brand. The brand is a timeless woman and master of her own will. Allowing the brand's voice to propagate itself in other female representations was the path for the brand to become polyphonic and collective. A series of illustrations of women interacting with elements of everyday life and nature were created, in a stencil style, to represent female polyphony. The voices are with fun phrases, translating the brand's spirit.
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 Dona Vitamina brand.
Inspiration
Dona Vitamina was need to change its branding language while preserving its original essence of humor (the logotype is a cross-eyed Victorian lady sipping a juice) and the genesis of female empowerment present since the begin. A series of narratives with women was created, building other Donas Vitaminas, which contemplate different ethnicities and feminine manners. Scattered across surface design, packaging, menus and more, these women are the epitome of the brand's fun and timeless spirit.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2020 and finished in September 2020 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow
The visual identity project contributes to empowerment the feminine nature of the Dona Vitamina brand, the owner and the majority of the staff are woman. In addition, it allows the client to feel welcomed by the casualness and informality of the brand visual language and its authentic narratives.
