Brand Strategy & Identity
A complete brand identity system for a Nigerian accessories label — from strategy and archetype to a refined monogram logo and a full suite of real-world applications, built to read as premium from day one.
Beautifulthings Affair had a clear product vision — curated jewelry, bags, scarves and accessories for women who treat style as self-expression — but no brand system to carry that vision consistently across every touchpoint a customer might encounter, from a business card to a shopfront banner.
Build a brand identity flexible enough to work across dozens of physical and digital applications (packaging, apparel, signage, stationery, social) while staying recognizably premium and distinctly feminine — without tipping into anything overworked or costume-like.
Connecto anchored the brand around "The Lover" archetype (driven by passion, beauty and connection) with "The Creator" as a supporting note (originality, taste, artistry) — positioning Beautifulthings Affair as affordable luxury with feminine storytelling at its core. The core idea: make everyday beauty accessible, stylish and meaningful. This shaped everything downstream — a warm, confident, "stylish best friend" tone of voice, and a visual identity built to feel soft yet bold.
Connecto delivered a full brand guideline covering: Foundations: brand vision, mission, positioning statement, target market (women 18–40, urban/semi-urban Nigeria with online expansion potential), and tone of voice with real copy examples and outreach message templates (influencer, retailer, collaboration) Logo: a refined "BTA" monogram in a flowing, calligraphic style, set inside a minimal open circular frame with the brand name arced along it — plus horizontal and vertical lockups, clear-space rules, and full usage guidelines (color, distortion, background do's and don'ts) Color palette: Maroon, Bright Coral Red, Nude Pink/Bright Peach, Pale Peach, Deep Charcoal and White — a warm, feminine palette built for both digital and print Typography: Calora for expressive display headlines, General Sans for clean, versatile body copy Applications: business cards, ID cards, letterhead, mugs, envelopes and full stationery sets, plus retail-facing assets — product packaging (jewelry boxes, lotion tubes, lipstick cases), earring/jewelry tags, tote and shopping bags, wristbands, caps, t-shirts, stickers, a retail roll-up banner and a mall billboard concept
