Overview

Mamaearth positions personal care as an everyday act of mindful well-being rather than luxury. The brand promise is safe, gentle, natural, approachable, modern and trustworthy, but the identity didn’t feel as soft as the products.

I researched the brand’s story and purpose, explored more than a dozen logo directions, and built a complete guideline: primary and secondary logos, concept, clear space, scaling, misuse, colour, typography and real-world mock-ups.

The idea

Mamaearth started with two parents looking for safe products for their newborn. The new mark leans into that. "Mama" is set in a playful, rounded script for care and warmth; "earth" uses a leafy face for natural ingredients. The compact symbol reads "ME", a personal product for every individual.

The logo

Eleven directions for the new mark, each wrapping MAMA EARTH into a rounded, globe-like form in the brand's own blue and green.
