The logo isa female runner, sprinting ahead withthe vigour and vitality bestowed bythe product. Her dynamic silhouette recalls the red-figure vessels of ancient Greece. The steady pace ofher heartbeat and breath is rendered in the sparse layout of the elegant typography, which creates a sense of rhythmical movement.

We performed a comprehensive branding strategy, crafted the storytelling and conceived the structural packaging, a lightweight but load-bearing lid that is easy to pick up. The purple color pop when opening the packaging creates an element of surprise. The gold spot onthe lid suggests the liquid gold within.
