The new place natural haircare has in people's lives created the opportunity for a conceptual brand identity system that encourages confidence in natural beauty.
Branding
Mane Event was inspired by the homophone "MAIN," as in main attraction and "MANE," as in lion's mane. The brand strives to inspire people to embrace their natural hair with the confidence and boldness of a lion. Through three specialty lines—Wavy, Curly, and Coiled—the products will satify the hydration textured hair is craving naturally, orgranizally, and with premium ingredients. After defining the target audience and completing compentitive analysis, brand guidelines were established to ensure this confident, bold brand was strong as a lion.
Business System
As a cohesive set, the business system provides to essentials while still emitting a sense of uniqueness and overall personality. The envelope includes the necessary information and the logo that roars as the envelope is opened. The letterhead is personalized for each employee, with their hair and photo featured in order to build trust between employee and customer. A unique approach, the business cards are easily folded to create a flame shaped spotlight that highlights the person of interest, becoming a piece that can be easily enjoyed hanging off the edge of any surface.
