The Design

About Free Merkeidentitet

Free er en merkeidentitet skapt for et bind-merke. Logotypen er fornyet med en lett hevet bokstav F, som gir et ungt og optimistisk uttrykk. De to bokstavformene e er tegnet som ett sammenhengende penselstrøk og lenket sammen. Dette sammenkoblede paret er hentet fra logoen og brukt som et hjelpegrafisk element, anvendt på visittkort, merker, dokumentmapper, ekspresspakker og lerretsvesker. Den dynamiske linjen uttrykker frihet og selvutfoldelse. Et visuelt spesifikasjonssystem sikrer at identiteten forblir konsistent og utvidbar over digitale og fysiske kanaler.

Unique Properties: The letter "F" rises slightly, reflecting a young and optimistic attitude. The continuous brush design of the two "e" letters are cleverly linked together which has also become the super symbol of Free, and used to create specifications such as the Icon system, that makes the brand more unified and more extensible, and also makes Free's brand vision stand out from the competition.

Tags: Brand visual upgrade, Sanitary napkins, GEN Z,
Production Technology: Extract "ee" from the logo as an auxiliary graphic and apply it to many work scenarios, such as business cards, express boxes, badges, document bags, messenger bags, canvas bags, etc. The process involves four-color printing and baking paint process.
Design Challenge: Through the brand visual upgrade, an old brand of daily necessities is reshaped into a trendy brand of sanitary napkins with a young attitude, conveying freedom and a brand-new attitude image to consumers.
Research: We found that for more than 10 years, Free has been "taking the first sanitary napkin for girls" as its brand positioning. The brand image is gradually aging, making it difficult for the brand to continue to gain the recognition of the "youngest" consumer group.
Inspiration: For more than 10 years, Free's brand position-"taking the first sanitary napkin for girls" cannot meet the change of aesthetic trends, the images is gradually aging, making it difficult to continue to gain the recognition of the "youngest" consumer group.
We took on the core of the brand and reshaped it into a youthful attitude brand by upgrading the logo font and a new visual specification system.
The new system makes the visual and concept consistent and extensible and is flexible to be used in online and offline channels.
Project Duration: Guangzhou,Guangdong Province,China,July 6,2021
Operation Flow: The "ee" is extracted from the original Logo, which reflects the modern women's feeling of unrestrained, the pursuit of freedom and self-expression through the dynamic line performance.
