Problem

Gantri's brand when joining didnt fully reflect their values at the time such as around creativity and sustainability. On top of it it was initial designed to be more “fit in” but this wasnt helping drive engagement so we explored what if we went a different rebellious direction.

Goals

1. Establish a brand identity that better represents the companies mission towards sustainability

2. Establish a brand identity that is as versatile as the products Gantri sells

3. Establish a brand identity that represents the company culture and sense of rebellion.

Explorations

One of the first steps in the journey to rediscover the Gantri brand was doing a full audit of the brand in play. From our photography to packaging all the way down to the design system components themselves.

After auditing we did a few exercises to understand what is our voice and tone for the brand. During this time we took away an idea of the 'rebel.' Which represents our approach to creating products not like anything else in the design space. Also how we 'rebel' against traditional manufacturing and pursuing a way to make manufacturing more sustainable and supportive for creators.

Introducing a rebellious brand

After our series of explorations ranging for typography to our photography, we landed on a unified vision that felt more cohesive and representing of what Gantri is and will be.
