Identity and summer campaign for a sunglasses brand.

The challenge

Make a three-letter brand feel as bright and as hard to miss as the midday sun.

A new eyewear brand is selling affordable, well-made sunglasses online and through pop-ups. It wants one campaign that works on a billboard, a phone and a shop window.

What it needed

  • A mark simple enough to engrave on a temple arm
  • A campaign line that works in three seconds at roadside
  • A shoot plan that delivers stills and short clips in one day

Creative direction

Noon yellow on shade black, a compact, heavy wordmark with a rising sun mark, and fashion portraits with attitude: sunglasses on, chin up.

The identity

Built for this concept by Brand House: wordmark, mark, colour and type, then applied to the pieces the brand would use first.
