DESCRIPTION
The Client:
The Isle of Skye Paint Company based on the stunning Isle of Skye in Scotland, is an up and coming contender in the designer paint market, making environmentally friendly paint infused with superior grade organic seaweed, which can be found on the shores around the Isle of Skye.
Aims & Objectives:
The Isle of Skye Paint Company approached us initially for assistance with their visual branding and packaging, their aim to rival the leading designer paint manufacturers and be the paint of choice for consumers who demand the very best.
How do you brand a paint company?
The branding needed to have a strong presence and the packaging naturally had to complement the visual branding, with an opulent and luxurious feel.
The Result: Award-Winning Branding and Packaging for Isle of Skye Paint Co.
How do you brand a paint company? By blending the beauty of its surroundings with innovative design—and that’s exactly what we did for Isle of Skye Paint Co.
Bringing the Isle of Skye to Life
Inspired by the majestic landscapes and mountain ranges of the Isle of Skye, we developed a visual brand identity that captures the island’s essence. This concept formed the foundation for the packaging design, which features a rich, dark, and indulgent aesthetic. The look was seamlessly applied to the printed paint tin cylinders, ensuring a cohesive and premium presentation.
Creating Local and Visitor Appeal
Working closely with the client, we took inspiration from specific areas around Skye to develop the paint colour palette. Each shade was carefully named after a local landmark, resonating deeply with both locals and visitors alike. The thoughtful connection to Skye’s geography adds emotional value, making the brand even more memorable.
Attention to Detail
To reflect the variety of finishes available, we:
- Created accurately coated colour chips for the five finishes.
- Designed a cohesive and elegant colour card to accompany the paints.
Beyond the Tins
The project extended far beyond paint tins, encompassing a range of brand assets:
- Website Design & Development: Built to complement the visual branding and provide an engaging user experience.
- Marketing Collateral: Including POS, exhibition materials, and brochures, all aligned with the brand identity.
- Product Development and Strategy: Ensuring every detail worked together to deliver a premium customer experience.
