soapNskin is a start-up skincare brand that is due to launch in Spring 2015.
We specialise in natural, handmade soap, bath and skincare. After years of preparing our products by hand and selling them in the markets of London, the founding partners have decided to re-brand and launch the products using an e-commerce platform to generate sales and expand their loyal following.
We are looking for fresh and enthusiastic talent to help us re-brand and create an image for luxury without the exorbitant price tag. We have envisaged clean and minimalistic lines that will appeal to a wide range of people. We want to be perceived as trendy yet sophisticated. Think NARS, Philosophy and SpaceNK. The logo must however reflect the natural and handmade element of our products. Our products are appealing to both men and women alike. We would like our logo to appeal to ‘Yummy Mummies’, and trendy aspiring professionals who love their skin, and want to indulge in something that is handmade by love, here in the UK. We do not mass produce, but make our products in small batches ourselves, and so a ‘personal touch’ in branding and logo is essential.
We've decided that we would mainly like to work with charcoal greys and blacks against a white background.
We do require the logo to be in Illustrator format, and require full copyright over the winning logo, along with a list of Pantone colours that have been used in the winning design.
Thank you, and happy designing!

Hi All,
We just wanted to thank all of the designers who have submitted logos. There has been a lot of creativity and we have enjoyed looking through them all.
We have narrowed down the designs and have shortlisted our top 4, these are now being circulated among family, friends and potential clients. Their feedback will ultimately help us to select the winning design.
If your design has made the top 4 selection (i will be updating this on designcrowd shortly) can you please ensure that you have a list of the Pantone colours that you have used, and that the design is in Illustrator Format as initially requested in the Original Design Brief.
We will be announcing the winner very soon.
Thank You once again
