Tabérumo: Brand Identity Re-brand

Remark KK

Tabérumo is a raw spirulina producer selling the popular food supplement directly to customers online. Their former identity was targeted toward only women, but to grow their business they needed to appeal to men as well. So a re-brand of their identity and name was necessary.

Colin developed an entire identity system to make sure every customer touch-point reflected the brand. The re-brand included updating the logo, introducing a new color palette, a new typeface, updated spelling for clarity, and nature-inspired design elements. This created a more cohesive experience and atmosphere for both the product design and its digital extensions.
