Concept The brand needs to have a high end appearance but be more afforable so that consumers are encouraged to buy into it. The actual price of the range will fall into the mid range category.

A minimalistic approach to design means that the brand will fit in with existing high end products as this is a key feature.

The brand experience will bring the product to life.

Logo A sophisticated yet modern logo was created in order to appeal to the target audience. The idea of the logo being grey is because on print products this would be foiled for a high quality finish so on other products this colour links. The tag line was created from the idea that Jelly is bright and bold and this is the look that the nail varnish products will have.

Target Audience Females 16 - 30
