Client
Oakwell Beer Spa is an inclusive spa oasis where nature meets modern technology to create a unique wellness experience. From beer baths to rain showers, Oakwell offers an immersion into the world of nature and water treatments. It's where you can feel nature’s touch and enjoy the harmony of its elements: water and plants.
Design Goals
Our goal was to create an identity that reflects the uniqueness of Oakwell Beer Spa as a modern spa center, blending relaxation with nature — a place where people relax and converse. We aimed to emphasize the warm and welcoming atmosphere — key aspects of the brand. The founders' plan to scale the brand through a franchise model drove the business's need for a comprehensive brand identity. This task also causes a more minimalist and simple style. In addition, we meticulously compiled all the brands’ rules and constants into a detailed and accessible brand book.
Logo
In the logo, we continue the idea of combining two natural components. The logos’ font references water through the first wave-filled letter. An illustrative leaf icon symbolizes the second component — plants and complements the font part.
Graphic Elements
We convey the idea of nature's touch in graphics through abstract plant illustrations and smooth, wavy lines. We placed them within a geometric circular frame to convey a modern approach. This stylization helps to show the natural component while remaining transparent and minimalist. Wavy lines symbolize water and its calming merits. The lines move smoothly across the layouts, adding dynamic.
Concept
The main idea is to visualize the combination of water and plants as harmony and relaxation symbols. This way, we open up Oakwell's uniqueness — a place where various herbs and water combine for a unique multisensory guest experience. Our focus is the moment a plant touches the water's surface — small ripples convey the idea of nature's touch. Oakwell is an oasis where guests can experience this touch firsthand, and we emphasize this.
