The promise of looking fresh and youthful is beguiling. The demand for products to achieve those looks is constantly growing. Personal care products that deliver results using healthier and more pure ingredients are a fast growing segment of the competitive category. Now, more than ever, people seek brands containing all-natural ingredients. While Earth Science was ahead of the pack in recognizing this important lifestyle trend, they faced competition that constantly updated positioning and graphic imagery. Earth Science made a proactive decision to maintain a leadership position by refreshing their own brand and packaging.
The team at MOI (Mark Oliver, Inc.) audited the line and the competition and proposed these objectives: Redesign the trademark; create a system identity that the consumer could quickly recognize; and prioritize and simplify label information, making the redesigned trademark the #1 point of the packaging line. The design team set about creating multiple designs reflecting the objectives. Once finalized, MOI handed off the project to the firm’s in-house group to implement. “The new, unified packaging program has provided the product line with a far greater shelf presence,” noted Mark Oliver, principal of the firm. “In a busy category, organization of packaging is crucial. This design program nicely balances organization and creativity.”
