Context
OH OH OM ® Ethical Sportswear, based in Hamburg, Germany, is a sustainable label offering functional, casual, and stylish apparel. Committed to the Cradle to Cradle principle, the brand ensures every piece is not only visually appealing but also promotes well-being, softness, and multifunctionality. Experience the perfect blend of aesthetics and sustainability.
Our Approach
We were tasked with developing a new logo suite, and we captured the “New Basics” essence of the brand through variable design elements: an iconic signet inspired by ’80s sports culture, which invites interpretation and resonates with the target audience, and a strong yet soft wordmark that highlights the timeless quality of the apparel.
◦ Wordmark Rebrand
The new wordmark is bold, clear, and timeless, yet it possesses a unique charm: partly rounded edges convey the brand’s softness and joyfulness. The geometric and structured shapes reflect the brand’s values of mindfulness and a clean aesthetic.
In contrast to the empty space that made the old wordmark feel reserved, the new design exudes personality, courage, and self-esteem through its strong presence. This confident appearance is further emphasized by the all-caps tagline.
◦ The Brand Signet
The brand signet is designed for versatility, functioning seamlessly across various sizes from small-scale embroidery to large-scale advertising prints. It symbolically represents flow, the apparel, its fabric, and an abstracted human figure, inviting a range of interpretations within the sportswear industry. Whether it evokes a yoga asana or a basketball player is up to the observer, adding a dynamic layer to the brand’s identity. The signet can also be seen as an iconic symbol with multiple layers of meaning:
• A triangle representing the unity of body, mind, and soul—or creation, preservation, and destruction, aligning with the brand’s ecofriendly philosophy. • In numerology, the number 3 symbolizes creativity, energy, and innovation. • The image of stairs or a pyramid, suggesting the path to responsibility as a fair fashion brand, and balance through the consistency of ascent and descent. • This multifaceted approach allows the signet to resonate deeply with the brand’s audience while reflecting its core values.
◦ Pattern & Logo Suite
The brand signet excels as a standalone mark or combined with other elements, and it can also be used as an all-over brand pattern, enhancing the visual identity across various applications.
We developed an extensive logo suite comprising multiple versions to accommodate both small and large-scale uses. Each version ensures consistency and adaptability.
