Entry Description

After ten years, Dona Vitamina was living a need to change its branding language, preserving its original essence of humor and reinforcing the genesis of female empowerment present since the begin.
Laika created a series of narratives with women, other Donas Vitaminas, which contemplate other ethnicities and feminine manners. However, always maintaining the disruptive essence of the brand – the logotype is a Victorian lady sipping a juice and cross-eyed. Scattered across surface design, packaging, menus and more, these women are the epitome of the brand's fun and timeless spirit.

Bio

Laika is a design studio in a small tree-lined village in São Paulo. Just like the space travel female dog that gave its name to the Laika office, it's a way of looking at the same object from a different point of view. Since 2001, Laika has been traveling through the most diverse design modalities, always beginning from a method that starts from semiology and discourse analysis, for brand building.
