Logo




Color Palette
In developing signature patterns for OIGA, the team used a palette made up of colors pulled from the tribal seals of each OIGA tribal member. These geometric patterns pay homage to traditional tribal patterns but are not literal.


Getting Clarity on Which Category to Position V2O
We began with a visioning exercise for the leadership team and took them through our brand positioning process including – product testing and refinement, creating the logo design and design standards, choosing bottles, designing labels, carriers and shipping boxes.
Testing with retail buyers showed lack of clarity where to position this product in store, confirming its uniqueness. It was decided that V2O would be positioned within the sparkling water category as an enhanced sparkling water.
We then went to work on all touch points of the buyer and customer journey creating brochures, a presentation deck for prospective buyers, product videos, website, in-store merchandising materials, media release, email templates and even vehicle design. We also did a social media strategy starting with existing photography.
