Design concept: the Velour V mark hot-foil stamped in gold on slate uncoated board, catching the light

The brief

One identity that carries from the logo to the studio window and the social feed: quietly luxurious and unmistakably Velour.

The challenge.

Quiet luxury,​ ​unmistakably Velour.

Velour is a beauty studio built around refined care, expert artistry and a calm, luxurious experience. The identity had to say that before a client walks through the door.

It needed to feel confident yet soft, modern but timeless, and luxurious without being loud, the tone set out in the brand positioning.

And it had to work everywhere clients meet the brand: on the shop window, at reception, on a uniform and in an Instagram feed.

Where they were

A classic​ ​serif V.

The mark starts from the capital V of Cormorant, the logo’s base typeface.

Where they wanted to be

One​ ​V mark.

A refined serif V with a separate flick, above the VELOUR wordmark and BEAUTY STUDIO.

What we did.

Elegant, not loud,​ ​and consistent everywhere.

The V mark

A stylised V refined for logo use, set above the VELOUR wordmark with BEAUTY STUDIO beneath.

Slate and gold

Deep slate leads, with a warm gold as its partner. The logo sits in white on slate and in slate on gold, and a repeat pattern is built from the V.

Social styling

Instagram offer posts with the V set over treatment photography, a gold offer bar and a slate V tab, plus pattern and logo tiles for the grid.

Studio signage

Signage designs for the window, the pavement, reception and table talkers, gold V wall vinyls for the treatment rooms and uniform branding for the team.

Paid social

Facebook adverts and a video advert for a new-client campaign.

The result.

A considered identity,​ ​from window to feed.

In short

Velour is a beauty studio built around refined care, expert artistry and a calm, luxurious experience. Its identity had to feel confident yet soft, modern but timeless, and luxurious without being loud, and it had to work everywhere clients meet the brand: the shop window, reception, a uniform and an Instagram feed.

We started from the capital V of Cormorant, the logo’s base typeface, and refined it into a V mark with a separate flick, set above the VELOUR wordmark with BEAUTY STUDIO beneath. Deep slate leads the palette, with a warm gold as its partner, across four colourways for the logo and the V mark, and a repeat pattern built from the V.

For social, we styled Instagram offer posts with the V over treatment photography, a gold offer bar and a slate V tab, plus pattern and logo tiles for the grid. For the studio, we designed signage for the window, the pavement, reception and table talkers, gold V wall vinyls for the treatment rooms and uniform branding for the team. We also created Facebook adverts and a video advert for a new-client campaign.

The result is a considered beauty brand identity that carries from the studio window to the social feed, quietly luxurious and unmistakably Velour.
