Design Journey

The project extensively involved creating Reparoo’s branding, design theme and guidelines from scratch. Being the only designer on the project, meant doing a lot of research and brainstorming by myself, before concluding that the best route was to position Reparoo as a visually friendly, trustworthy and problem-solving brand. In order to embody these values in design, me and my team decided that the best route was to put my illustration skills to use and create a loveable mascot. 

While the mascot went through many stages of sketches and iterations, the design process was enjoyable since everyone on my team found all the options adorable. The visual theme I created for the brand went through quickly soon after, however the website we ended up designing turned out to be very complicated as there were many layers, partners and categories to be included under one umbrella website. 

The project took a few months till completion, but at the end of it: in place of where a good brand with no design or branding once stood, was now a happy, instantly likeable and welcoming beaver ushering customers to a brand that looked and felt professional, reliable and people-friendly.

Reparoo logo

The protective gloved hand for a logo doesn’t just showcase that Reparoo has the tools or parts you need to fix anything. The assuring thumbs-up it flashes reflects the helpful, optimistic and problem-solving nature of the brand. Together, the logo and mascot are also reminiscent of the famous pop-culture line based on the old American sitcom – “Leave it Beaver!”

Mascot sketches

After much brainstorming, the whole team agreed that the mascot for the brand should be a Beaver, since the animal is a builder that symbolizes trust and reliability, cooperation and teamwork, creativity and harmony. This resonated well with Reparoo brand, which is all about providing the parts required to fix, repair or renew broken appliances across lifestyles.

The entire team collectively chose the third option, and I created sketches to demonstrate how the mascot could be effectively incorporated into various marketing scenarios and applications
