sense your color.
Perhaps the most important and most referenced one of Peirce's semiotic categorizations is the concepts of iconic, indexical and symbolic sign. In this project, Peirce's trilogy was used as the basis of a new product idea, not as an analysis tool. It is aimed to develop three nail polish bottle designs by differantiating its indexical, symbolic and iconic signs.
Indexical Sign Shiny golden color is a symbol of luxury, preciousness. Changing material color and brilliance, gives the product a sense of luxe which is a term learned culturally.
Symbolic Sign Lid opens by a rotational movement. When lid is opened, the part that provides rotational movement appears. Moving the part that shows fuction outsidethe lid gives index about how to open.

sense your color.
One of the products developed, JellyPolish is designed in an advertising context as in the advertisement analysis of Barthes and the product promotion is made with an advertisement poster. Logo as the top view of the nail polish bottle resembles to an eye which supports the meaning of the linguistic message ‘’sense your color’’. It expresses the function of transparency that makes it easy to ‘’see’’ nail polish’s color. Also, JellyPolishes that are swimming with jellyfishes under the sea refers the iconic resemblance between JellyPolishes and jellyfishes.
Iconic Sign Main function of a nail polish bottle is to present the polish inside. Jellyfishes have transparent exterior which shows their interior color nicely. When transparency is used in entire bottle, it strengtens the function.
JellyPolish bottle has a transparent body, which has a physical resemblance to jellyfishes. JellyPolish Poster

Grey is used in the part where the label will be placed and the areas that splits the body and the moving parts. Also, white is used for the body area.
