LOGO ON BRAND ELEMENTS + PHOTOGRAPHY When the logo is used over any photography, image, pattern or color, it is important to make sure there is clear space for it to reside. No distracting backgrounds, patterns or textures. Use these examples or any other examples throughout this book as a guide. The logo cannot stand against busy backgrounds, so be mindful of selecting an image that allows space for it to shine. If necessary, you can scale or manipulate the photograph to give the proper breathing room. Color contrast is also important, making sure the logo is against a background that does not distract or blend in. Plant Intention // Brand Guidelines

GRAPHIC ELEMENTS
Graphic elements are used to further the brand identification and help to visually communicate it. These items can be used sparingly so as not to overwhelm or clutter a composition.
BRAND WORDS Bold words and letter formations create a strong identity system for Plant Intention. These words are primarily key-word based, such as: PLANT, INTENT, BOLD, DREAM, VISION, etc. They are short in length (letter count) and are used to create bold, high contrast designs.

REVERSE TYPE/PERSPECTIVE SHIFT Perspective is a massive component of the Plant Intention brand. We encourage rotating the logo in 20° angles, upside down, or vertically. When playing with perspective, it should not be overdone, but created in clever or subtle ways that work harmoniously in a composition. The goal is to spark curiosity with a customer, forcing them to take a second look and want to grab a marketing material, a package, a product, and flip it around to challenge their own perspective. In an ideal design, the composition could potentially be viewed easily at various perspectives. Use examples from this brand book or previous materials as a guide for this treatment.

Francesca Davie created Plant Intention as a means to offer a lifestyle shift for those ready to manifest their greatest self. A plant-based nutrition bar founded on the idea that what we consume can relate to what we perceive. A single thought can bring forth new perspective, just as a single food can greatly affect the body. To create your best reality means to nurture the very vessel with which we experience that reality. Plant Intention is a seed of wellness, a way of caring for your body so as to ultimately plant your best intention.
There are moments in life that inadvertently lead to our greatest shifts. A rise in awareness where we quickly realize there’s no going back, there’s no other way to move than up. For some, these moments come in the form of light, while for others it may be shrouded in darkness. The delivery is circumstantial. And the circumstance is merely a vessel to deliver awareness, clarity, and thus a closer unity with our best self. Sometimes we need a hand to hold, a guide to follow, or a force to shake up everything we know.
Plant Intention is handcrafted by Francesca using all plantbased ingredients and super foods. With a philosophy centered on planting intention for optimized well-being, Plant Intention is an everyday source of wellness to help fill you with the very building blocks of life. Those building blocks solidify a foundation to elevate the mind and release your infinite energy source. Because we all have the innate ability to create a life of abundance, love and joy; a life filled with purpose and intention, a life worth living not just existing. Plant Intention focuses on a lifestyle of minimalism, where whole food bars are made simply and made well, stripping away everything but what really matters. We focus on substance, on a little bar with big dreams to get people excited about being themselves. To eat better so you can live better and feel empowered to do what you love and love what you do. Beyond nutrition and novel flavors, Plant Intention is a reminder that we have the power of choice, to choose what we put in our body and what we create with our mind.
BRAND STORY The story is the foundation of a brand. Not only does is give a general understanding of who the company is, but also helps to set the groundwork for showcasing what the unique positioning and selling point are. Understanding the overall brand statements, key terms and language will help gain a strong grasp on who the brand is and what the differentials are. Plant Intention // Brand Guidelines

the difference [positioning statement + tagline]
Life is perception and we are creators. We have the choice to co-create with the universe, to hold a clear vision of the life we want to manifest and bright it forth. Plant Intention is a taste of clarity, a daily bite of intention to feed your future. Simply existing for most of her life, Francesca faced her greatest shift during holiday in the South of France. While asleep one night, her home was invaded by intruders who pumped gas through the air vents to induce temporary paralysis to her and her family. Francesca awoke to find the intruders in her room and, upon discovering her conscious, they injected her foot with a substance that paralyzed her body but kept her awake. She was forced to watch as her home was burglarized while her entire family was unconscious. Traumatized by the event and more so by the disbelief of investigators, Francesca felt alone in her experience as the sole witness. Months later while in university, Francesca awoke from sleep with hallucinations of her trauma, seeing the same event replay before her eyes while once again paralyzed in bed. It was then she began to understand the true power of the mind, of how we can manifest our thoughts and intentions. Her passion for understanding the Law of Attraction grew along with studies of Quantum Physics and spiritual leaders. helium creative
42
In those moments of complete vulnerability, Francesca realized her thinking had been limited; consumed in our culture of social media, expectations and should’s. We surround ourselves with excess, with instant gratification in a three-dimensional world, where more often than not our eyes are wide shut. We’re blind to the infinite potential at our fingertips. Francesca set forth to not only awaken herself, but to inspire a sense of possibility, a movement that empowers people to live mindfully in the present without worry of the past or future, because all that truly exists is now. What lies ahead is ours to co-create with the universe and experience uniquely unto oneself. Think beyond what you see, what you perceive as truth, as physical matter. Because there is no defined path, we can choose to get off the grid, burst out of the box, and tap into our imagination. We can choose to fill our body with pure substance that promotes a clear mind, a mind that is open and able to plant seeds of intention. We can break the pattern of trauma, of negativity and restrictive thought, of a mind that is split between then and when. We can live boldly, loud and proud of exactly who we are right now in this moment – a creative and powerful being with the ability to manifest our truth. “If I could disrupt the patterns,” Francesca says, “if I could shake people, show them there’s another way. For me it took being physically paralyzed and thinking I was going to die. But so many of us feel that in some way, at some point in our life. There’s no reason we need to accept life like that. No reason we need to play by someone else’s expectation for how life should be.” But it’s a process, and Francesca believes that in order to live better we need to take care of ourselves completely. She crafted Plant Intention as a vehicle to inspire others along their journey down a new path. Plant Intention is a lifestyle, a movement, it is Francesca’s seed of intention to manifest a greater world. Plant Intention // Brand Guidelines

The positioning statement is not shown to anyone outside of the company. It is the foundation for all additional messaging and materials. The position answers three questions: Who are we targeting? What does the company offer / problem do they solve? How does the company offer a unique vantage over competitors? In short, what foot is leading and why is that footing unique? helium creative

About setting intention: Clear Intention leads to Creation leads to Manifestation leads to Living. To lead an intentional lifestyle means you are cocreating with the universe, you are aligned and tapped into your role as a creator; therefore rendering a lifestyle of living, not just existing. Plant Intention and Law of Attraction: Our whole food bars are a reminder that we have the opportunity to set intention, to shift perspective, at any given moment. Plant Intention offers the first bite of a new start, an opportunity to set a clear vision for what we want most in our life—beginning with what we put in our body. As we set these clear daily intentions, as we make the commitment to nurture our body and expand our mind with intention, we create our reality. Perspective: Plant Intention focuses greatly on perspective, whether shifting ones own perspective or dealing with visual perspective in brand efforts. Our brand empowers people to take a new look at life and embrace their innate power to create their own reality. Nothing has to be as it appears. Our whole food bars encourage a new look at what you put into your body and what you can create with your mind.
Brief statements: Plant Intention is a taste of clarity. Each Plant Intention bar offers a bite of inspiration, the power to tap into our role as Creator of our life. Plant Intention urges us to shift our perspective and look at our life differently, manifesting a greater version of ourself starting with what we consume. Your intention is our intention. Each bar is a symbol of the power of intention, your ability to create your life today. Plant Intention is a vessel to deliver awareness, clarity and thus a closer unity with our best self.

Plant Intention is contemporary in design and intentional in application. Bold contrast create visual interest, while purposeful alterations in perspective force the viewer to take a second look and engage with the brand. The inclusion of minimal color accents assist to indicate flavor profiles, categories, or brand hierarchy. The images to the right are a consolidated mood + inspiration board for any continued design applications.
