Case study · Natural Coloured Contact Lenses

O.O Lens | A Natural-Look Lens Brand from Name to Shelf

We built O.O Lens as one brand system for natural-look coloured contact lenses, from research, the name and the logo idea to packaging, photography, social media, campaigns, retail and a website for the UAE market.

A coloured-lens brand that has to look natural

The work started with research and analysis of the category and its audience, before any design. O.O Lens sells coloured contact lenses with a natural look. The brand had to show each shade honestly, stay friendly and feel trustworthy wherever people meet it.

  • Research and analysis before design
  • A natural look, not a costume
  • Shades that are easy to tell apart
  • A friendly, trustworthy tone
  • One system from box to screen

The name: two eyes and a clear category

We created the name, starting from the eyes: two O's side by side read as a pair of eyes and point straight to what the brand is about. Adding “Lens” makes the product category clear from the first read, so the name and the symbol became one idea that carries into the identity and the packaging.

A name where the eyes appear before the reading is finished.

  • O.O: two eyes side by side
  • Lens: the category, stated clearly
  • One idea for the name and the symbol
03

The idea behind the logo

The two O's of the name became two open eyes. The iris ring around each eye carries the shades, and a small smile between them keeps the brand warm.

  • The two O's as eyes
  • The iris ring as the shade range
  • A smile for a friendly tone
  • From sketch to final mark

The iris ring as the brand's colour signature

The gradient of the iris ring, from green through teal and blue to purple and pink, is the signature. The teal of the wordmark carries the everyday text and surfaces.

  • Iris green#51A95D
  • Iris teal#2E818B
  • Iris blue#37589E
  • Iris purple#603B96
  • Iris pink#D32485
  • Wordmark teal#1A7C7B
  • Light teal#5CB597
  • Mint#C6E3DF
  • Deep teal#32595B

Packaging with a colour code for every shade

Product and packaging design as one white family with the iris ring on the edge. Each shade has its own colour dot and band, so the right box is easy to find on the shelf and at home.

Shipping and gift boxes extend the same system to deliveries and gifting.

  • Lens boxes
  • Colour coding per shade
  • Blister packs
  • Lens case
  • Solution bottle
  • Shipping and gift box

The shade collection

Every shade is shown on its own box and on a swatch card, so people can compare shades side by side.

Photography and art direction

We handled content production, photography and design. Daylight, real skin and close-ups that let the shade speak. Women and men in everyday settings, with the eyes and the product at the centre.

Portraits in natural light keep the look modest and real.

Light, styling and framing were set on a mood board before the shoot and followed on set.

  • Content plan
  • Content and design
  • Account management
  • Social media campaigns
