CHIQUE BRANDING & PACKAGING DESIGN
CHIQUE BRANDING & PACKAGING DESIGN
Chique is a family-owned, Bristol-based line of natural, sustainably produced self-care products. Through their online marketplace, Chique sells unique cosmetics, liquid soap, bar soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and hair care products, each of them handmade using time-honoured processes.
Chique recently asked BONB Creative & Design to create a visual identity and packaging design for their shampoo and soap products. Their brief specified that the new design should convey Chique’s traditional production methods and commitment to sustainability in a friendly and aspirational way.
We combined an elegant traditional font with a clean, contemporary logo to produce a distinctive and versatile basis for Chique’s new brand identity that embraces old and new. Chique’s new colour palette reflects the typography’s timelessness. Colour-coded watercolour illustrations of essential herbs make it easy to identify the natural ingredients used in Chique’s formulations, and create a visual language that can grow as the company adds more products to its line.

We sought to create a timeless brand with a logo that symbolises a stack of properties and visual vocabulary that distinguished James T Property from its competitors.

HARMAN PIZZA FLOUR LOGO & PACKAGING DESIGN
HARMAN PIZZA FLOUR LOGO & PACKAGING DESIGN
Cosmos Trade is a family-owned food wholesaler located in Basildon, Essex. Serving regional caterers and the general public, Cosmos supplies meat, poultry, fruit, and vegetables, along with chilled and frozen food, beverages, and cleaning supplies. Cosmos recently launched a new line of pizza flour, ground especially for the company in Turkey and imported for sale in the UK. “Harman,” as the brand is known, has several meanings—harvest, threshing, and blending—each of them to do with the harvesting, grinding, and processing of wheat.
Cosmos approached BONB Creative & Design to create a fresh, bold logo and packaging that would attract attention on store shelves.
The logo’s bold colours draw attention to Harman’s packaging, and its reassuringly vintage styling suggest a connection with millennia of flour-milling tradition. Hand-drawn elements and subtle flourishes convey the flour’s premium quality and organic origins. Classic serif and script typography complete the design.

We were challenged to modernise the existing packaging design, make it more eye-catching and colourful, and design a more premium-looking product.
For the new packaging design, we took inspiration from crayon etching scratch art. We designed a new visual identity by replacing the photographic images of herbs and plants with more esoteric botanical illustrations. We developed a sophisticated look and feel which enhanced and complimented the healing attributes of essential oils. Finally, to reflect the product’s elegance and purity, we used black as the predominant background along with soft highlight colours.

PAHA BİÇİLEMEZ İSTANBUL – SILVER AWARD

TROUT LIFE STUDIO – SILVER AWARD
Logo design for an Online Print-on-Demand services. We incorporated the client’s name, “Trout Life Studio”, directly into the typographical artwork, interweaving an abstract trout shape with a simple wave to the letters. With the logo doubling up as the brand name in a bold minimalistic style, the design has functioned well as a social media profile picture.
NTVPARA – SILVER AWARD
NTV broke with the economy channel CNBCe, and rebranded as NTVPara. We left the original NTV logo unchanged, only altering the colour of the ball from blue to yellow, and the text from orange to white. The concept for the new logo incorporates ascending and descending triangles, indicating fi nancial statistics. Our chosen typeface allowed us to continue this concept throughout, using these triangles within letter “a” in “para”. The clear visual identity provided a direct and eloquent message to the audience. The triangles on the logo were very well received and they played as the main graphics in the title animations.
SKYLAB MEDIA
Our commission for Skylab Media, a high-end digital agency, was to create a new brand identity to show a new side to their work. The concept had to sum up Skylab’s offer to clients simply and elegantly. We designed the letter ‘S’ as wire connections, a minimal concept which helped create a practical and flexible logo across print and digital, without losing any of the agency’s personality.
STAN SPORT

OTTO TILES VISUAL IDENTITY SYSTEMS
OTTO TILES VISUAL IDENTITY
Otto Tiles & Design produces unique handmade Turkish tiles from its facilities in Istanbul and London. The firm’s core aesthetic blends Anatolian and Western influences, creating a fresh take on several long-standing design vernaculars.
We were approached to develop a clean, contemporary visual identity for Otto Tiles’ packaging, literature, and other brand assets. Drawing on the firm’s most enduringly popular designs, we crafted a visual pattern that conveys Otto Tiles’ bold, clean, yet deceptively intricate aesthetic.
We first applied this pattern to a mailing box used to send samples to clients of Otto Tiles. The box is specifically designed as a durable and handsome storage solution whose usefulness and brand reinforcement can last far beyond its first use.
The mailing box includes a brochure welcoming clients to Otto Tiles and describing the samples contained within, and informational stickers to be applied to the back of each tile.
We also designed a digital brochure offering a broad introduction to Otto Tiles and its product lines.
Next, Otto Tiles enlisted us to create an ad for Elle Decoration magazine; the ad measurably boosted sales enquiries.
We also designed a label for Otto Tiles’ tile-cleaning product line, which is only sold at the company’s showroom.
The new visual identity appears in promotional items such as this tote bag, given to guests at a party celebrating the opening of Otto Tiles’ new facility.
An email announcing the opening celebration also reflected Otto Tiles’ new brand identity.

BOOK OF TILE SAMPLES / PACKAGING DESIGN
BOOK OF TILE SAMPLES
Client
Otto Tiles & Design are a provider of handmade, bespoke Turkish tiles, based in Istanbul, Zurich and London. They aim to create amazing aesthetics with unique designs and patterns, and to be a bridge between Turkish and Anatolian art and the West. Using their strong connections with artisans and craftsmen in Turkey, they provide beautiful handcrafted tiling made using authentic, ancient techniques to people all over the world.
Objective
To develop and design a book of samples to allow them to share and promote their tiles, showcasing their work and attracting new business.
SCOPE OF WORK
- Graphic design for print
Solution
The brand identity of Otto Tiles and Design focuses strongly on heritage, the handmade nature of the tiles, the craftsmanship that goes into them, and the overall aesthetics and beauty of the finished products. Our aim was to capture this identity and produce something that was strongly complementary to the Turkish tiles themselves, that emphasised the history, heritage and traditions behind the work, and that promoted the tiles as beautiful items in their own right.
We created a clean, clear and stylish sample book, working with a brochure style. We used the tiles themselves as a base for the design, to showcase the work itself more prominently, and to demonstrate the inherent beauty and style of the products.
The design had to incorporate practical considerations as well as aesthetic ones, as the samples themselves require support and structure, and needed to be displayed in the best possible fashion. We chose a three-page foldout design, and used hard-wearing, stiff card to display the samples prominently and effectively, and allow the fullest promotion of the products.
