Key 🇬🇧
A brand identity and social creative system for a UK consumer products brand — built to unify a genuinely varied product range under one recognisable look.
How we got there.
01 The Challenge
Key is a UK-based consumer brand selling across a genuinely varied set of product lines, from home comfort items to seasonal treats. That variety was a strength commercially, but a risk visually — without a defined logo and colour system, campaigns for such different products risked feeling like they belonged to different brands entirely, weakening recognition every time a customer moved from one product post to another.
02 Research
We looked at how the brand had presented itself so far and where the visual inconsistency showed up most — across logo usage, colour and typography — to define what a single, flexible identity needed to hold together.
03 Strategy
Build one brand system flexible enough to sit behind any product category the business sells, so recognition builds with every post regardless of what’s being promoted that week.
04 Design Process
We designed a distinctive key-mark logo lockup and a structured three-tone blue palette — a confident deep blue, a muted mid-blue and a pale sky tone — built to anchor every future piece of creative.
05 Development
The identity was translated into a set of social-ready creative templates, applied consistently across the brand’s different product campaigns so each one still reads as unmistakably Key.
06 Marketing
With the system in place, Key could roll new product and seasonal campaigns out quickly, confident that the brand would stay recognisable no matter which product line was in focus.
The exact process, step by step.
From a fragmented look to one recognisable brand.
